Dick Durbin, Barack Obama Get Prime-Time Speaking Slots, But Not Joseph Biden
Roll Call ^ | 9-6-12 | Shira Toeplitz

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) will introduce President Barack Obama during prime time this evening at the final night of the Democratic National Convention.

Vice President Joseph Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, will address delegates at the Time Warner Cable Arena during the 9 p.m. hour, convention organizers announced. And no one is more disappointed about Biden’s speaking slot than Republicans, who have taken to Twitter to campaign for the gaffe-prone vice president to speak during the nationally televised 10 p.m. hour instead.

CBS and ABC news will air the DNC’s program only during the 10 p.m. hour, according to MarketWatch. NBC will air a full two hours tonight because it showed the NFL season opening game last night.

Biden made for a frequent punching bag at last week’s GOP convention in Tampa. At the podium, several speakers joked about the former Senator’s propensity for verbal gaffes.

Romney’s running mate, House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), did get a prime time address last week at the Republican National Convention.

The DNC may be idiots, but they're not stupid.

They still are stupid, they can’t avoid Obama, but Durbin is a major league leftist embarrassment. They should have finished with a Clinton/ Obama night.

Biden’s still trying to figure out the correct correspondence between buttons and button holes on his jacket (per photo of him getting off the plane with the buttons 1 off).

Obama was photographed earlier today practicing his acceptance speech behind the White House.

At least the RATS let Biden talk. If he is his usual self, he will be prime time news for 3-4 days. That is not a positive.

Yes. . .no way; Obama 'needed' authentic 'Leadership' in VP slot; only someone who could only be grateful to 'just be there'. All so typical of Lefty Appointments. (If they don't have a 'fool'; they need to watch their back 'harder'. A fool or someone who 'otherwise' would be shuffling cards on the street.)

Saw pic of Biden and wife Jill at DNC. Both looked like they had just had a 'root canal' - sans anesthetic. But given; Biden's lectures/pronouncements; had no sympathy for either.

Obama has none either; but he needs the joker card; the court jester; save when Biden makes him part of the joke; of course.

If Obama survives; doubt Biden will; per next 'four'. Then of course; we will not be the 'survivor class' either.

Of course; Obama planning of more than 'four'; should he steal this one. A thief is just that. Obama will not settle for less that what his colossal by it's psychopathic; mega-narcissism can contain.

Dick Durbin must be speaking because he can rally the Illinois faithful. Obamugabe must be worried about losing that state. ;-)
