 ***UPDATE: See Below The Fold

CBS 3 Philadelphia interviewed Senator Joe Biden last Thursday, and he was
none too pleased with the line of questioning.

Co-anchors Chris May and Angela Russell asked about Barack Obama's
"spreading the wealth" remark and about a Washington Times report concerning
Biden campaign cash donations going to Biden family members for campaign
services.

Like the most recent interview with Orlando's WFTV's Barbara West, Biden is
visibly annoyed and blows off questions as nonsense.:

BIDEN: Whoa whoa, slow up here old buddy...you're getting this mixed up here
with all due respect. This is apples and oranges.

RUSSELL: Obama talks about spreading the wealth around and everyone does
better that way...is that not kind of being a socialist... That's what your
accusers are saying here.

BIDEN: No, No, No

RUSSELL: And wouldn't they just pass that on to the consumer?

BIDEN: Absolutely not...absolutely not.

RUSSELL: Well please explain that.

BIDEN: Absolutely not.

Biden's response seems typical of him, when he is forced to deal with
difficult questions. Trying to discredit the interviewer and making the
question look silly, in fact, was a tactic the Clinton administration
mastered.

Unfortunately, an Obama/Biden administration is more than likely to be no
different.
