Biden's Blunder: "Stand Up Chuck"

Here’s a funny video I’ve run across from CNN.

Joe Biden was in Missouri for a campaign stop. He introduces State Senator Chuck Graham who happens to be confined to a wheelchair. What follows is a little uncomfortable for Biden, but surprisingly humorous for the rest of us -- even Graham.


Here are a few accounts from people who were at the event or who know Graham.

From mjp4fc:

I was there.. he was sitting in front of two curtains and no one would have been able to tell he was in a wheelchair. He recovered very well and acknowledged his mistake, he was even classy enough to walk into the audience to shake his hand.
From shane:

With chuck this is old hat. He has been asked to stand dozens of times by people who have never met him.
I'm glad that Chuck Graham can laugh along with the rest us.
