Remember him? Democratic vice presidential nominee? Barack Obama's running mate? Part of the ol' boys club? Kinda boring?
Ya, that's the one. Well, turns out his pro-abortion views, or as I prefer to call them, pro-choice views, have gotten him into a bit of a kerfuffle with catholics, particular a few bishops.
The New York Times even decided to front page the issue earlier this week.
How'd it all start?
Well, the overshadowed VP pick took communion in his home parish last month. On September 2 the Bishop of Scranton, Pennsylvnia (a crucial swing state) banned him from communion in his diocese. Apparently, that's like some legit excommunication shiz goin' down.
So, a little religious bickering ain't nothin' to worry about, right? Ehh, as it were, at every presidential election in the past 30 years the Catholic vote has gone to the winning candidate, except for Al Gore in 2000.
Realistically, though, it's been said that a large majority of so-called catholics are protestant when it comes to birth control. Anotherwards, they use it.
Still, perhaps Sen. Biden ought to take up moose hunting, or involve himself in some kind of -gate, 'cause other than this little piece of news, nobody's heard a thing about the guy. And if all else fails, there's always time for an illegitimate love child somewhere down the line.
