Joe Biden, the man who gave a eulogy for Strom Thurmond and flaunted his home state's slave-holding heritage, made last night's Democratic debate at Howard University even more historic than it already was.
The debate was destined for the history books thanks to PBS's "no-honkies" policy, which created the first ever presidential debate panel comprised entirely of non-whites, and also for having at least twice as many cutaway shots of Harry Belafonte and Al Sharpton (at least 10) as it did references of Iraq (no more than five).
But Biden made the night even more noteworthy with his take on AIDS.
