Vegas Ad highlights Biden's Gaffe

It looks like Joe Biden -- like so many vice presidents before him -- is destined to be a punching bag.

The Las Vegas tourism folks -- who gave you the phrase "what happens here, stays here" -- have a new newspaper ad playing off Biden's now-retracted statement that people should stay off airplanes and subways in the midst of the swine flu scare.

The ad features a less-than-flattering mug shot of Biden with the caption: "Mr. Vice President, if you had said it here, no one would have known."

The ad is on page 5A of yesterday's USA TODAY.
