Joe Biden, UWM: 'Collecting the Women'

Joe Biden is in Milwaukee at UWM right now.

He's making a speech about Wall Street reform.

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee business students that financial regulation legislation now before Congress must be passed in order to protect the financial security of all Americans.

"This is an important and just cause," Geithner said in remarks prepared for delivery. "It requires reform. Not small changes at the margin, but comprehensive change, clear rules with teeth, enforced by people who care."

Geithner, accompanied by Vice President Joe Biden, was in Milwaukee for a "Middle Class Task Force," designed to lobby in favor of the financial regulation bill.

Geithner said the debate over the bill should not be left "to the banks and their protectors. This is about the business of America. And here at a university that has sent so many Americans out into the world to build great companies, you know how important credit and capital is to the entrepreneur and the innovator. We need a financial system that can finance future investment in real businesses that will make us stronger as a nation."

Geithner told the hand-picked audience, consisting of UWM business students and area politicians, that the economy was beginning to improve, but said there is still the long way to go.

...Following Geithner was Biden, who echoed similar themes in support of the legislation. "This is a big deal moment," Biden told the students. "It matters."

New opportunities for Americans, he said, help build the middle class.

Talking about the middle class, Biden said it was important for citizens to be able to live in a decent home, on a quiet street, send your kids to college and be able to retire with a decent standard of living.

"They measure their success based on whether or not their children have an equal or better chance than they had," he said.

Biden called Wall Street "private casinos" in which banks and investors lost a bet that Americans now have to pay for.

Yeah, yeah. Blah, blah, blah. Whatever.

You know that Biden can't speak at any length without adding something to his blooper highlight reel.

Here's the latest addition:

While dissing greedy Wall Street fat cats, he chastised them for "collecting the women."

He quickly corrected himself and said, "collecting the winnings."

Freudian slip, Joe? "Collecting the women"?

I didn't catch all of Biden's remarks. Did he make any anti-Semitic jokes, like National Security Adviser James Jones?

Did Biden drop the F-bomb?

It would be so disappointing if Joe "Champ" Biden didn't. It's his signature line. According to the Journal Sentinel, he did say "This is a big deal moment." A big f---ing deal? Maybe it's not that big.

Still, "collecting the women" is a pretty good Biden blunder.

God love ya, Champ.
