Biden criticizes Princeton
Amid CAP showdown, senator says he 'wasn't a big Princeton fan

WASHINGTON, D.C. The conservative alumni group Concerned Alumni of Princeton (CAP) has been the subject of criticism in recent weeks, but yesterday the University itself also came under scrutiny. Sen. Joseph Biden (D-Del.), who grilled Samuel Alito '72 about his CAP membership, also said that he "wasn't a big Princeton fan."
"I didn't even like Princeton," he said, to laughter from the gallery. "I mean, I really didn't like Princeton. I was an Irish Catholic kid who thought it had not changed like you concluded it had," referring to Alito's earlier statement that Princeton had changed its traditional ways before he enrolled.
But Biden had nothing but praise for the University in a 2004 speech at the Wilson School. "It's an honor to be here," he told the audience. "It would have been an even greater honor to have come here."
Biden also said yesterday: "One of my real dilemmas is I have two kids who went to Ivy League schools. I'm not sure my Grandfather Finnegan will ever forgive me for allowing that to happen."
But in his speech at Princeton, he said, "I have three children who have mercifully all finally completed undergraduate and graduate school. And I tried to get all three of them to apply here."
He went on to recall how he tried to convince them to attend Princeton, but because they didn't, he's "counting on his grandchildren."
Liberals, don't you get embarrassed that the people who "lead" your party get caught in lies all the time. They say whatever they think people want to hear. Hillary, Kerry, Dean, and Biden can take both sides off an issue and switch back again before lunch.
It shows their lack of actual principles and ideas.
I'm for the war, I'm againsts the war.
I'm for removing Saddam, I'm against removing Saddam
I love Princeton, Princeton makes me sick.
People who reveal classified information are whistle blowers and patriots, people who reveal classified information are evil scum who should go to jail.
We need more troops, we need less troops, we need more troops, Bush is a terrorist.
I feel sorry for liberals who have to keep defended liberals getting caught lying.
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman....."
All we have to do is stick up for what we think is right....and show how liberal and biased the media is.
I'll defend anyone who is innocent until proven guilty. Delay, Libby, Rove....all innocent at this point.
If they or any other Republican goes down...the difference between the two sides is seen. The right will demand they resign, the Left would find ways to call Republicans names.
Damn it feels good to be in the Right side

I wonder if that speech is seared in his memory like Kerry's trip to Cambodia?
