Not only that, but he says the ad wouldn’t have run if he had anything to say about it - and implied that Obama didn’t know about it either, in spite of the “I’m Barack Obama and I approved this message” tag included in the ad (via Jon Martin):
Here’s the transcript:
Couric asked: “Are you disappointed with the tone of the campaign? The ‘lipstick on the pig’ stuff, and some of the ads - you guys haven’t been completely guilt-free ...
"I'm Joe Biden, and I Didn't Approve This Ad."

In an interview on "CBS Evening News" tonight, Barack Obama's running mate told Katie Couric that the campaign shouldn't have played the Age Card. And he's right.:
CBS' Katie Couric: "Are you disappointed with the tone of the campaign -- the lipstick on the pig stuff and some of the ads? And you guys haven't been completely guilt-free, making fun of John McCain's inability to use a computer?"
Biden: "I thought that was terrible, by the way."
Couric: "Why'd you do it then?"
Biden: "I didn't know we did it, and if I'd had anything to do with it, we would have never done it. I don't think ...

Biden Calls Obama Attack Ad “Terrible” - video
USS Neverdock —
LOL, whose team is Biden on? Asked whether he’s disappointed with the tone of the campaign, including the ad that Couric characterized as “making fun of John mcCain’s inability to use a computer,” Biden said “I thought that was terrible by the way. “I didn’t know we did it and if I had anything to do with it, we would have never done it”
Obama vs. Biden
USS Neverdock —
Hey, why don't we let Obama and Biden do a debate? So in the last 24 hours we have seen Joe Biden call an Obama campaign ad terrible and say it would never have happened if he had known about it; Barack Obama say Joe Biden should not have opposed the AIG bailout last week; and Joe Biden disagreeing with Obama’s position on clean coal and telling a voter (rather unpleasantly) that his view, not Obama’s, is the campaign’s position. Not a great sign from the guys who argue that running a campaign is a substitute for executive experience. Labels: Biden , Obama

CNN Covers for Biden: 'Terrible' Anti-McCain Ad 'Only Ran Six Times'
NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias —
CNN.com on Tuesday covered for Democrat vice presidential candidate Joe Biden's comment to "CBS Evening News" anchor Katie Couric that the Obama campaign advertisement that made fun of John McCain's inability to use a computer "was terrible" (video embedded right, full report on Couric's interview by my colleague Brent Baker available here). According to CNN's Alexander Mooney, "Joe Biden can rest easy" because the ad "only ran 6 times." Well, that six times more than 1964's "Daisy" ad which historians believe helped President ...
Biden’s gaffes & Obama’s judgment
GayPatriot —
First, we have Joe Biden “ call an Obama campaign ad terrible” before saying he wouldn’t have so described the ad had he actually seen it. Then, he’s telling us about FDR’s nationally televised addresses both before presidents delivered such things and well before that Democrat had been elected to the White House.
Now, we’ve got him contradicting his running mate on clean coal. In Ohio, he said, “we’re not supporting ‘clean coal’” while the Obama campaign website favors the development of clean coal technology.
Had Palin had this many gaffes, Victor ...

Knuckleheads Barry and Joe poke each other in the eyes; where is the third Stooge in this act? by Bill Levinson
The Obama campaign, with Barack Obama’s approval (”I’m Barack Obama, and I approved this ad”) published a video that belittles John McCain for his inability to use a computer or send E-mail: an inability due to service-related hand injuries that prevent him from using a keyboard. The ad also belittled middle aged and senior voters in general through its inclusion of vinyl records, Rubik’s cubes, and other memorabilia with which only those in their forties and older would be familiar. The ad was ...
