Vice President Joe Biden says Sarah Palin is no victim.

Vice President Biden rejected Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s complaint that she was the victim of political blood sport yesterday - a day after she stunned the nation with her abrupt resignation.

Asked if he agreed with Palin’s contention, Biden told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos simply, “No ... I don’t.”

Biden, speaking about his vanquished 2008 vice presidential rival while on a trip to Iraq, said he respects Palin’s decision to step down.
