CNN: Biden is the VP pick

[hole_n_one]

Breaking on CNN

[WOSG]

We dodged a bullet.
Hillary was the smartest pick.
This is just a lame half-assed pick of a DC insider who’s a complete maroon.

It’s as if McCain decided to pick one of our dumbest senators (Bunning?)

Biden can dish it out but is an equal-oppty blundering blabbermouth.

BIDEN-”Obama isn’t ready to be President and the job is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.”

[Das Outsider]

I thought this was a joke or a trial balloon as well (since the text messages didn't go out yet), but Major Garrett of Fox News, who is traveling with the Obama campaign, confirmed that it's Biden as well.

The text ruse was a ploy to keep agitated amnesiacs who spend six or more hours a day on their Blackberry in suspense.

This was not an unintended leak. It was released into the mainstream media graveyard, as far as timing goes, and there is still plenty of time between now and Monday to make Biden into something greater than he is.

I went out and bought an I-phone for the occassion

[HerrBlucher]

Wait for the text, people!

The text will say..."Drink Ovaltine."

[STARWISE]

It’s truly an incomprehensible choice, when you think about it. Even Jack Reed, who went on the celebrity messiah tour, and who has military and military affairs experience would’ve made more sense.

CNN’s still covering it live.

[flyfree]

Looks like they can’t believe it.

5. MSM says, MSM says, MSM says.........

It ain't true until OBAMA says it. Period.

I wouldn't put it past the MSM to falsely claim is was Biden, knowing it wasn't, just so they could manufacture a big controversy about the pick confusion to knock the actual pick off the front pages.

8. No, it hasn't. The MSM is making wild guesses and half of DU is believing it.

9. Not true. False MSM speculation and tripe. Wait for the text, people!"

"WAAAAAAAA! We're SPECIAL! We're the CHOSEN of the CHOSEN ONE!!! We're special, aren't we? AREN'T WE????"

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

[WOSG]

Something tells me Dana Carvey could do a great Biden impression.

[ShakinItUpHereBoss]

Hey, Blucher. Don’t sell it short...It’s Be Sure To Drink Your Ovaltine!”

[woofie]

yea ...a crummy commercial

[machogirl]

i’ve only read one other suggestion of bolton, interesting

didn’t the dems cry that he was a bully?

[AliVeritas]

Here, you'll need them.

[ShakinItUpHereBoss]

This is another OBAMANATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tiredoflaundry]

This is just too funny!........ Is it April 1st?

[eyedigress]

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

It is. If they think you can jerk the media around and have fun with it they are sadly mistaken.

[Nasher]

Thought Obama wanted CHANGE? Joe Biden is not a CHANGE agent.

Don't forget that Biden brings along a strong base as evidenced by his 0.9% showing from Iowa. Matter of fact, he ran so strong that he then immediately ended his 2008 campaign.

[blondee123]

interesting, bet she’s a hill supporter

From reading her blog, I would have to agree!

[bossmechanic]

“Don’t you love it — Obama couldn’t even manage to get out a text message before it was all over the net and the news media confirmed.”

Anyone want to trust this guy and his staff with the nuclear trigger?

Lame, failed introduction of wimp ol’ white guy missin’ news cycle - perfect setup for the chaos convention.

There’s gonna be a lot of different drugs used in Denver next week. And it will be a huge Cluster F+++ all the way around.

[luvie]

We will all have terminal migraines before this next week
of the BO-JOE love-fest ends. Ugh!
