COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (AFP) — US Republican vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin took her first swipe at her Democratic counterpart Saturday, casting Joe Biden as a Washington insider incapable of change.
"The choice a presidential nominee makes for a running mate says a lot about him," Palin told a flag-waving crowd at an airport hangar in the western state of Colorado.
"Senator Biden can claim many chairmanships across many, many years in Washington and certain many friends in the Washington establishment, but even those admirers would not call him an agent of change."
The Republican ticket, solidified just this past week shortly after standardbearer John McCain chose Palin, the 44-year-old governor of Alaska, to be his running mate, has been trying to poach Democratic White House nominee Barack Obama's mantle of change by promising to reform Washington.

It's funny that the MSM accused Palin of “holing up” in Alaska. Meanwhile, Biden can't even appear with the Golden Child these days.
He’s scared.
That's not true. Joe has to change feet every time he opens his mouth.
I really love this woman. Is there video anywhere of this?
He was last seen pestering patrons at a Northeast Philly diner or possibly at an unnamed, undisclosed, sparsely attended suburban college somewhere in Virginia. Seriesly. That's the last anyone's heard of him.
Awesome.
That's considered to be a “swipe”? What Palin said should be pretty obvious to even Democrats. Joe Biden wasn't selected as the Chosen One’s VP because Biden is new and fresh and exciting. But now that he has been chosen, the Democrats have to pretend that he is. Talk about mental gymnastics!
he's probably still getting hard eating that ice cream in Penn...
