I would like to share a story on Senator Joe Biden that happened 27 years ago. It involved his international humiliation of a good man, and it became a habit for Biden.
I’m confident Biden will repeat the performance with Sarah Palin, perhaps during their first vice-presidential debate on October 2 at Washington University in St. Louis.

Kinda like Dingle-Norwood?
Senator, whose son is the Attorney General of Delaware, adding yet another family political dynasty which is a toxin on national politics? Senator, whose son was paid a lucrative consulting contract by MBNA while you did their bidding in drafting a bankruptcy bill? Senator, whose sons are embroiled in a lawsuit over hedge fund losses? Oh, and Senator - most of the counties in Alaska are bigger than the state you represent.
Except this will not be a one sided questioning
Let Palin start asking him questions about oil/gas production etc if he pulls that crap
She could come back with “i will answer that question if you can tell me the name of the governor of Wyoming”
Biden: “Governor, who’s the leader of Angola?”
Sarah: “Well, I don’t know. Name the capitals of the seven Persian Gulf states. Two can play this game.”
She needs to turn the tables on him and use his own weaknesses against him.
I’ve been saying since Friday that Snidely Whiplash will try dirty tricks to try to make her look dumb.
Yes, that’s our Joe. The school yard bully with a smile on his face.
For the record, AK doesnt have counties, they have boroughs. The rest of the statement was spot on..
Her best response to that kind of question should be:
“Senator, this isn’t 1972 anymore. If I want to know the name of the Prime Minister of Namibia I can look it up on the Internet in about 5 seconds.”
Make Joe Hair Plugs look old and full of useless trivia at the same time.
I heard a Female caller to Rush Limbaugh yesterday suggest that Biden may want to get himself an oversized Athletic cup for that debate.
Ask him an easy one, like:
“Senator, what unrepentant former bomb-making sixties radical is now a good friend, neighbor, and mentor of your running mate?”
Then watch his face.
Biden reminds me of “Biff” from back to the future. And, what, is he Joe Biden the Fifth or Sixth? They can’t learn a new name? Oh yes, “Beau”. How could I forget?
Don’t forget that Sara knows how to gut a pig.
Personally, I’d prefer a response that he absolutely couldn’t luck out and answer.
Something like, “Senator, do you think it’s fair to research some obscure point and then play gotcha? Do you think the American people respect that?
We both have our areas of expertise—and rely on staff to give us competent advice elsewhere. Your expertise is talking about foreign policy; mine is in executive decision making where I’ve had to weigh advice from talkers and make hard choices.”
Oooh. I like that. That would deflate ol’ plugsie.
And Dr. Kengor produces for us the antidote: Palin has to make Biden answer his own insipid questions.
Frankly, I don't care if Palin knows who the leader of Angola is. If it becomes important, she can find it out from an advisor or do what the rest of us do: look it up.
And she needs to make Biden explain his executive experience: as far as I know, all Biden has ever run is his mouth.
Precisely.
