Biden hails segregationists in old Senate: ‘At least there was some civility. We got things done’

Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential front-runner, singled out two notorious segregationists who were his party colleagues in the Senate in the 1970s as examples of politicians he could work with.

Speaking at his third New York fundraiser with wealthy donors on Tuesday, Biden talked about Senators James O. Eastland of Mississippi and Herman Talmadge of Georgia.

“I was in a caucus with James O. Eastland,” Biden, 76, said, according to a pool report, imitating the dead Southerner's drawl. “He never called me boy, he always called me son.”

He then brought up another segregationist Democrat, "a guy like Herman Talmadge, one of the meanest guys I ever knew, you go down the list of all these guys.

Bizarre that Biden would highlight working relationship with segregationists to make banal point about political civility

Remember what they did to Trent Lott for his comments during Strom Thurmond's 100th Birthday

Ok ... so I don't think Uncle Joe is going to be the DEM nominee.  He's going to burn out his welcome and lead early on.  I'm still betting either Castro or Beto.
