Biden strikes back at Palin's age crack.


Palin took on Biden’s more advanced age of 65 on the trail and in an interview with Fox News prior to last week’s debate, saying "I think he was first elected when I was like in second grade."

Ripping into McCain’s proposal to spend $300 billion to buy bad mortgages from banks at face value, Biden said "Tuesday night, in the debate, McCain said, speaking of lurching, he was going to spend – he had a new idea. Sarah Palin says, I was in second grade when Joe Biden was elected to the United States Senate at age 29. That’s true," he said. "But she was in 6th grade the last time John had a new idea." The crowd of 500 at William Jewell College loved the line, bursting into laughter.
