PULL THE HAIR PLUG ON THIS GUY
October 8, 2008
If Sarah Palin had made just one of the wildly inaccurate statements smugly uttered by Sen. Joe Biden in last week's vice presidential debate, there would have been 3-inch headlines in newspapers across America. (I can almost hear Katie Couric asking me, "Which newspapers?")
These weren't insignificant errors, such as when Biden said, "Look, all you have to do is go down Union Street with me in Wilmington or go to Katie's restaurant or walk into Home Depot with me where I spend a lot of time, and you ask anybody in there whether or not the economic and foreign policy of this administration has made them better off in the last eight years."
It turns out that Katie's restaurant, where Biden gets his feel for the average American, closed 20 years ago. The only evidence that he spends any time in Home Depot is that it appears that a pipe wrench fell on his head one too many times.
Palin would surely have been forced to withdraw from the ticket had she said something like that, but most of Biden's errors were not trifling mistakes like these. They were lengthy Lyndon LaRouche-like disquisitions that were pure fantasy from beginning to end.
For example, Biden said about Hezbollah: "When we kicked -- along with France -- we kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon." Hezbollah was never kicked out of Lebanon.
He continued: "I said and Barack said, 'Move NATO forces in there. Fill the vacuum, because if you don't, Hezbollah will control it.'" This is madness -- Lebanon is not a NATO country, nor had any NATO country been attacked by Lebanon.
Somebody please tell me that Biden wasn't picked for the Democrat ticket based on his knowledge of foreign policy.
Biden also stoutly denied that Obama ever said he would sit down with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Liberals find it hilarious that McCain can't use a computer keyboard on account of his war injuries, but Biden is apparently unaware of the Internet, because there are clips all over the Internet of Obama saying exactly that during the CNN/YouTube debate last year.
Biden might have remembered that debate since: (1) He was there, and (2) he later attacked Obama's answer, telling the National Press Club in August 2007: "Would I make a blanket commitment to meet unconditionally with the leaders of each of those countries within the first year I was elected president? Absolutely, positively, no."
And that's still not all! Obama's own Web site says: "Obama supports tough, direct presidential diplomacy with Iran without preconditions."

She is so right! If Palin, Dan Quayle, Dole etc. had made the
gaffs Biden has made and continues to make there would a firestorm.
The great constitutional scholar Biden cited Article I of the Constitution as proof that Cheney "works in the executive branch" and has "no authority relative to the Congress." Biden huffily added: "He should understand that. Everyone should understand that."
Palin would have had to deny that Alaska is a state in the union in order to say something comparably stupid.
Article II, not I, describes the executive branch. Someone tell Biden, who is supposed to be a lawyer. Apart from getting the Articles of the Constitution mixed up, what on earth does Biden mean when he says that the vice president "has no authority relative to Congress," apart from breaking ties?
The Constitution makes him president of the senate every day of the week. I realize that Biden may not be able to count to two, but Article I says the vice president is president of one of the two houses of Congress -- the one Biden is in, for crying out loud -- which is what you might call "authority relative to Congress."
Somebody please tell me that Biden wasn't picked for the Democrat ticket based on his knowledge of the Constitution
What’s new? RATS have perfected lying to unbelievable degree. And the brain dead believe them. Oh, well, if Obama is elected maybe communism might not be that bad. At lease it seems that a huge bunch of Americans are going for it.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Yes, but Biden...(dramatic pause)... took the train!!!
Give me a break. There’s a reason every Congressional staffer has this guy on their “Dim Watt Club” list, and it’s not because he has an understanding of electrical enginering.

Love that graphic!
Ann’s weekly column is up and smokin’!

Wasn’t Biden supposedly picked because foreign policy was Obambi’s weakness?
That’s what was being said. But like some have already said...What good is his experience if he is always wrong?
Here’s the thing. Politicians need to call the press out, on their insults. Sarah should have looked Katie in the eye and said, flat out, “ya know Katie, I really resent the insinuation that I am so stupid, and so far away from the lower 48, that I probably don’t read newspapers and magazines! I got my degree in journalism, and I know that this kind of underhanded insult devalues the profession. I am not inclined to answer such a question because I know that you are really more interested in finding something about me to critisize, than you are interested in getting to know me, which is your pretense. You see, I am not dumb. I am not just an out of touch ‘rube’. I know you are trying to help the democratic ticket. So I read newsweek, the New York times and the Washington Post. How’s that?”
Biden was picked because he is a commie rat b@st@rd like Zero. That is all.
I heard it was because Michelle refused Hillary.
As we all predicted Biden was running his foolish mouth as usual. Of course, this has all been roundly ignored by the Obama worshiping MSM.
Somebody please tell me that Biden wasn't picked for the Democrat ticket based on his knowledge of foreign policy.Somebody please tell me that Biden wasn't picked for the Democrat ticket based on his ability to remember well-known facts.
Somebody please tell me that Biden wasn't picked for the Democrat ticket based on his knowledge of the Constitution
Somebody please tell me that Biden wasn't picked for the Democrat ticket based on his knowledge of math.
Somebody please tell me that Biden wasn't picked for the Democrat ticket based on his ability to function as vice president.
To think Byebyebiden is a heartbeat from the Presidency is frightening.
Pray for W, Palin/McCain and Our Troops
