Vice President Biden Rips RichRod At Miners Memorial
No matter what your political views are, no matter what your feelings are about Michigan football coach Rich Rodriguez, what Vice President Joe Biden pulled at a memorial for the miners who died in the tragic mining accident earlier this month was disgusting at worst, pandering at best.
As you will see in the accompanying video, Vice-President Biden used the hate for Rodriguez to get cheap applause at the memorial. I find this despicable. Let me remind you that I support much of what Joe Biden believes in. I also believe that Rodriguez deserves one more year at Michigan, but has resembled Pinocchio in much of his dealings throughout his Michigan tenure. Nevertheless, Biden is 100 percent wrong for bringing him up in this manner at this event.
Please go to the 2:08 mark of the video for the Rodriguez comments. Isn't it ironic that Biden's boss, President Obama will be at Michigan Stadium delivering the 2010 commencement address on Saturday.
God bless the friends and family of the miners who passed away working such a dangerous job.
