Joe Biden offered perhaps his most off-message statement yet since being tapped as Barack Obama's running mate, saying in an interview that he thought one of his campaign's own ads was "terrible" and hadn't know about it in advance.



Asked by CBS's Katie Couric about an ad Obama released earlier this month mocking John McCain for not being able to use a computer, Biden criticized the commercial and suggested it had been aired without his knowledge.



"I thought that was terrible by the way," Biden said of the computer ad in an interview broadcast tonight on the CBS Evening News



Asked why it was aired, Biden said: "I didn't know we did it and if I had anything to do with it, we would have never done it."
