This is not about those important topics. Biden goes off-script, literally Grammarians and wordsmiths everywhere cringed as Vice President Joe Biden used the word literally instead of figuratively several times during his Thursday speech. The text of Biden's prepared remarks did not include the offending word. His speech went something like this: "Look, Barack understood that the search for (Osama) bin Laden was about a lot more than taking a monstrous leader off the battlefield. It was about so much more than that. It was about righting an unspeakable wrong. It was about -- literally -- it was about healing an unbearable wound, a nearly unbearable wound in America's heart. @rickklein tweeted, "Joe Biden literally thinks 'literally' means 'figuratively.' " @indecision suggested, "Literally #drink" "If you take a drink every time Biden says 'literally' you literally will be passed out by the time Obama takes the stage. #dnc2012" tweeted @brfreed.
