This’ll be a fun 2 months, folks. He’s like a gaffe junkie: He simply can’t keep away from saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.

At the Windmill Ice Cream Shop in Aliquippa, Penn, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, asked his running mate if he was getting hard of soft ice cream.

“Let’s see what we’ve got here,” Obama said as he approached the counter.

“So,” he said to Biden, “you decided to go with soft?”

“I’m getting hard,” Biden said. “I’m a hard guy.”

Wow.
