Oh, Joe ...

From Huffington Post:

President-elect Barack Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden met in Philadelphia Tuesday morning with a bipartisan delegation of governors from around the country hosted by the National Governors Association. [...]

Biden's prepared remarks were:

"And Governor Palin, your being here today sends a powerful message that when campaigns end, we are all partners in progress. Thank you."

But he actually said: "And Governor Palin, I want to thank you particularly. I might point out, as I told you, we walked in. Since the race is over, no one pays attention to me at all. So I'm -- maybe you will walk outside with me or something later and say hello to me," prompting laughs from all, but an especially loud one from Gov. Kaine.

"It's great to see you, Governor," Biden added. "And, by the way, I think it is -- I hope, you know, the whole country can see the sort of a metaphor for the fact that this election is over and here we are," he said. "We're all together. We're all dealing with a common problem."

Maybe you'd better stick to the script next time.
