Sleepover!

(CHARLOTTE, N.C.) - Joe Biden came up with an interesting metaphor tonight.

When telling the story of how his granddaughters had a slumber party with Barack Obama’s daughters during the week of the Democratic National Convention, Biden equated it to what he says Americans want.

“I believe that's a metaphor, a metaphor for what the country is looking for. They're looking for a sleepover with people they like!”

This is problematic on a number of levels.

Not least of which is the Obama campaign’s revelation that they are bedwetters.

And of course, Biden’s metaphor is just a variation on the same theme that “who would you want to have a beer with” represents.

But with the beer replaced by pj's.

Let’s up the metaphor alert from problematic to disturbing.

And from Politico:

UPDATE: Asked what Biden meant, spokesman David Wade clarifies (?): "Could you imagine a sleepover with Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Phil Gramm and George Bush? I couldn't either."

True. Because they’re adults who outgrew sleepovers some time ago.

But apparently David Wade can imagine Joe Biden (and Obama) showing up on our doorstep with a sleeping bag and a toothbrush.
