Ooohh... No, please... Not Joe Biden.

Team Obama sent out Big-Dog Joe Biden to Republican Whip Eric Cantor's district in Virginia to bash the Minority Whip for attacking Obama's Stimulus bomb. ...140 supporters showed up.

I don't believe it! Certainly there were more than 140 drunks who wanted to see ol’Joe make a fool of himself!

Per the article, it appears they were mostly students at the community college where he was speaking. In other words, they were almost certainly required to attend as part of their poli sci or econ courses.

Seriously, even people who basically like Biden don’t tend to think of him as an inspiring speaker, worth cancelling other plans to go listen to.

Heh, heh. I like Santa Claus, but I would not want him to be vice president. Nor the pilot on the jet I take to the east coast.

A friend of mine from Delaware says Biden is like the stereotypical used car salesman you see on tv. He thinks he’s way slicker than he really is, nobody with half a brain really trusts him, and he’s usually doing something phony with his hair. :-)

I wonder how many people would show up to hear Sarah Palin give a speech? A lot more than 140, I bet.

In all fairness to Biden he was competing against fresh paint that was drying on a some new construction just two blocks away.

I used to live in Delaware where Biden is from. I’d be curious to see how many conservatives would show up for Cantor if the tactic were reversed.

140 supporters showed up.

That's probably the total collective IQ of the whole bunch of them too.

Cantor's not the V.P.

They were probably paid to be there too.

All from the Unions and Acorn. A few from Vista and Americorp too.

And yet those half brainers voted him Senator for life and now 2nd in charge.

Is this where he stated that we have to spend more money so we don’t go bankrupt?

Biden addressed a crowd of about 140 community college students and invited guests.
Yeah, "invited guests".

I guess they found a few unlucky slobs they could coerce with one threat or another. Probably "get your butt down there or we'll pull your cushy do-nothing staff position".

The dignitaries at Biden’s public event included Kaine’s wife, Anne Holton, whom Biden mistakenly referred to as the “former first lady.”

And I’ll wager the clothes on my back that every single one of those 140 clowns were employees of one government entity or another...and were on the taxpayers dime during the gathering.

Biden would be more believable in a pair of wite patent leathers and a powder blue leisure suit.

I have to say my opinion of Biden has gone up in the last few months. If, as they say, history repeats itself, the first time as tragedy the second time as farce, Biden is the farce to Zero’s tragedy.

Biden is like a character in Shakespeare, the old drunk that stumbles on the stage after magnificent tragedy has unfolded to allow the audience to catch their breath, laugh a little, and recover emotionally.

So that’s 3 bus loads from ACORN and 20 members of the press.

Sounds about right.

Yeah, that's my point. I bet Cantor would draw a lot more people than Biden did.

"I say, 'Don't let your opposition to the Recovery Act blind you to its results. Come see what I see everywhere I go: workers rehired, factories reopened, cops on the street, teachers in the classroom, progress toward getting our economy back on the move.'"

He's in Mad Hatter territory.

Employments about 11%, you kook!
