Ukraine girls really knock Biden out

Ladies in gentleman, we have Biden's first Ukraine gaffe. From his meeting with Viktor Yushchenko:

During a quick visit by a handful of reporters, Biden also could be overheard expounding on the virtues of Ukrainian women.

“I cannot believe that a Frenchman visiting Kiev went back home and told his colleagues he discovered something and didn’t say he discovered the most beautiful women in the world; that’s my observation,” Biden said. Although it was unclear who the Frenchman the vice president was referring to, one Russian journalist speculated Alexander Dumas, who was well known for traveling extensively in the region. “It’s certain you have so many beautiful women.”

All in all, this could have been a lot worse. I'll bet his meeting with Yulia Tymoshenko was fun, though.
