Joe Biden the travel "fearmonger"

The White House apologized for Joe Biden sticking his foot in his mouth while discussing swine flu. Biden tried to destroy the travel industry by warning against plane, train and subway travel. They try to explain "what he meant to say." The easiest course would be to muzzle him. CNN is reporting:

(CNN) — The White House apologized Thursday "if anybody was unduly alarmed" by Vice President Joe Biden's comments that seemed to suggest Americans should avoid air travel or confined spaces of any kind.

"What the vice president meant to say was the same thing that many members have said in the last few days," White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said. "And that is, if you feel sick, are exhibiting flu-like symptoms….that you should take precautions, that you should limit your travel."
