Joe Biden on Sarah Palin: "She's good-looking."

While it was surely intended as a semi-good-natured, semi-condescending remark, it was definitely a comment that we all would have been better off without.

This isn't two people vying for promotion or even two people running for congress. This is the Presidential election, arguably the most important on in decades, and tarnishing it with even the mildest forms of sexism shouldn't sit well with anyone.

“There’s a gigantic difference between John McCain and Barack Obama and between me and I suspect my vice presidential opponent,” Biden said in Ohio.

“She’s good-looking,” he quipped.

Harm intended? Not really. Poor judgment? Absolutely.
