Biden Versus the 'Bucket of Fluff'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/16/2008 4:35:03 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

After the woman introducing Joe Biden to a Michigan crowd yesterday called Sarah Palin a "bucket of fluff," Biden [via Morning Joe] said Republicans are "just not used to somebody really smart. They're just not used to somebody who's really well-educated. They just don't know quite how to handle it. Because if he's as smart as Barack is, he musn't be from my neighborhood!" Of all the people the Dems might have chosen to put the respective smarts of the two tickets on the table, Joe Biden? He who publicly claimed to have finished in the top half of his Syracuse law school class . . . when in fact he was 76th in a class of 85, plagiarizing a paper there along the way?

But, OK, fine. Biden's put it out there. We know about Biden's academic record. And John McCain's far-from-stellar academics at the Naval Academy are well documented. Sarah Palin apparently moved around quite a bit in college. But there's one person about whom there is a very large lacuna when it comes to his academic record: one Barack Obama. His campaign has refused to release his Columbia University undergraduate transcript, the one upon which he was admitted to Harvard Law. Now that Biden has put smarts on the table, will the MSM demand that Obama come clean on Columbia?

We call guys like Biden "socially retarded."

He just has no idea why the things he says are so inappropriate.

It's nice to have him as opposition.

Of course not. Why would you even ask?

BARBARA THEAKER: Barack Obama has made an intelligent choice for the vice-presidency.

I was thrilled when Obama picked Biden for his running mate! Obama is supposed to be so smart, but then he picks Biden? I guess it was to look smart in comparison.

Then there are the educated Hussein supporters Damon and Lohan. The intellect there exceeds the national average of Lower Slabovia

Any ads questioning Obama’s academic record will be attacked as racist.

As for Biden, what does his comment even mean?? We are afraid of smart people? What bull. I know many Yale graduates, and have them in my neighborhood. Am I supposed to feel inferior to people who are smarter or have a better education? This is just Biden doing what he does best—sounding weird.

Amtrak Joe is a walking, talking human parody. This is getting better and better by the day. Need more popcorn.

If I were Kerry, Gore or Edwards, I would be insulted at that insinuation.

It sounds like our opposition is moving up from Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam to, Wile E. Coyote . . . SUPER-Genius.

Biden's Debate Prep Partner: Gov. Granholm

Gollywhompers! This is TOO delicious!

Jenny "Grabtax" Granholm is going to "be" Governor Palin for Joey "Hoof-In-Mouth" Biden!

Grabtax is EXACTLY like Palin - except for the part where she's a lawyer to the nth power, her public personna's is that she's got a stick up her backside, and she's NOTHING like Governor Palin...

Wonder if the Republicans are going to secure the services of Andrew Dice Clay to prep Governor Palin? ;-)
