Even the birds are on our side. They must hate Obama/Biden ticket, too.

Wonder what quip Biden had to express...I’m sitting on the edge of my chair because I know he will say something profound - Biden style.

Biden is the brains of the operation. It would have been a devastatingly blow to this administration.

The flock that Fluked Biden was identified: 7 Spotted Owl, 3 California condor, and a pure bred Delta Smelt.

The Smelt was dropped from the owl’s talons just before the Owl hit the fan.

Do we *really* want to know?

Why did the Birds strike? I thought this administration had the unions in their pocket..

[Petruchio]

Flash Roasted and Tenderized in one step! Now if they can just figure out how to get it to land on the plate . . .

[Brilliant]

Outrageous! Biden should be flogged for killing that bird.

Thank the Lord, because sometimes birds do get hurt.

Word is Plugs was on his way to Road Island (his spelling) not Washington. Further, one would think those feather heads would give the Dumb Turkey a free pass, if for no other reason than on the grounds of professional courtesy.

Obama would probably pick Van Jones, Hillary Clinton or Pelosi

[mikrofon]

That old dinosaur should fly on more modern, non-unionized airlines....

[Texas Songwriter]

Birds of a feather flock together. Were these turkeys?

[RobinOfKingston]

Oh, man, this is hugh and series. I hope not too many birds were hurt.

My headline: “Birds attempt to take out Bird-brain.”

It writes itself.

[Revolting cat!]

Was Senator Robert Byrd aboard?

[ncfool]

Did Joe Plugs make it to the Fundraiser in time? That is all that matters to the Obama folks. We are lucky as a nation that the plane did not go down or we would would have Hillary to replace Plugs.
