Let’s face it, Joe Biden says a lot of strange things. During his visit to Connecticut, he was definitely on a roll.

We already reported how he stepped in it big time when he was trying to honor his friend, former Senator Chris Dodd. Biden said you could tell the measure of a person by how they treat waiters and waitresses, seemingly forgetting the infamous alleged incident involving Dodd, Ted Kennedy and the “waitress sandwich.”

But he added to that during his visit to the Capital Child Development Center in Hartford, where he gave one child a hug and talked with some of the others. It also looks like he’s kissing the top of the child’s head or sniffing him. Either one, just no. You can hear activists chanting against him in the background.

Then, during his remarks at the Center, he commented, “When I talked to all your folks out on the playground, I joked that everybody knows I like kids better than people. Fortunately they like me. That’s why maybe I like them.”
