RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, from yesterday, we shall never forget.
BIDEN: Uh, uh, Chuck Graham, state senator, is here. Stand up, Chuck. Let 'em see you. (rimshot) Oh, God love you. What am I talking about? (rimshot) I tell you what, you're making everybody else stand up, though, pal. (rimshot) I tell you what, stand up for Chuck. (rimshot)
RUSH: Stand up for Chuck! Hey, Chuck, stand up, old buddy. (laughing) oh, God, oh, love you, what am I talking about? And then it's followed up, in Nashua, New Hampshire, Joe Biden.
BIDEN: Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. (rimshot) Let's get that straight. She's a truly close personal friend. (rimshot) She is qualified to be president of the United States of America. (rimshot) She's easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America. (rimshot) And, quite frankly, um, it might have been a better pick than me. (rimshot) But she's first rate.
RUSH: (laughing) I can't stand this! I just can't it! (laughter) Can you imagine Obama when he hears about this? He's getting ready to go on the Letterman show, he hears about this. (laughing) Again, ladies and gentlemen, we play it again. I thought we were going to play it again, number four, can we have it again?
BIDEN: Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. (rimshot) Let's get that straight. She's a truly close personal friend. (rimshot) She is qualified to be president of the United States of America. (rimshot) She's easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America. (rimshot) And, quite frankly, um, it might have been a better pick than me. (rimshot) But she's first rate.
RUSH: Chuck Graham, stand up! Chuck, let 'em see you! (laughing) Oh, God, oh, my God. Yeah, what am I talking about? Can everybody stand up for Chuck, and then our buddies at the Power Line blog have this little paragraph: "Perhaps these findings explain Joe Biden's uncharacteristic commitment to the use of force yesterday. At the same appearance at which Biden paid tribute to Senator Clinton's possibly superior qualifications to be vice president, Biden discussed Republican attack ads. Referring to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth campaign against John Kerry in 2004, Biden said he's not going to let that happen again. Quote, 'Swiftboating is not gonna work this time and the reason it is not, number one, I'm going to smack 'em right square in the chops.'" (laughing) BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Remember, ladies and gentlemen, it was I, your beloved and trusted host, El Rushbo, who, when I heard that Biden was on the short list of Obama, I said, "Please, let it be Biden, please, let it be Biden." And, of course, the Drive-Bys, "Why does Limbaugh want Biden?" made a big deal out of it. Here on CNN's Election Center, August 21st, the fill-in host John King spoke to Democrat strategist Bob Shrum, and they had this exchange.
KING: Rush Limbaugh today said this on the radio. He said, "I really hope it's Biden. I don't want to say that too loud, but I really do hope that it's Joe Biden because we've got a mountain of archival audio on Joe Biden plus the arrogance factor times two. Biden and The Messiah would just be delicious." Bob Shrum, just a rant from Rush Limbaugh or does he have a point?
SHRUM: It's a rant from Rush Limbaugh. I think Joe Biden would be a terrific choice. His depth of knowledge on foreign policy, his capacity to go out there and campaign, to really go after the Republicans.
RUSH: All right, now, ladies and gentlemen, here is why I wanted so badly Obama to pick Joe Biden.
BIDEN: Uh, uh, Chuck Graham, state senator, is here. Stand up, Chuck. Let 'em see you. (rimshot) Oh, God love you. What am I talking about? (rimshot) I tell you what, you're making everybody else stand up, though, pal. (rimshot) I tell you what, stand up for Chuck. (rimshot)
RUSH: And here's another reason why I wanted Joe Biden.
BIDEN: Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. (rimshot) Let's get that straight. She's a truly close personal friend. (rimshot) She is qualified to be president of the United States of America. (rimshot) She's easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America. (rimshot) And, quite frankly, um, it might have been a better pick than me. (rimshot) But she's first rate.
RUSH: That's why I was hoping for Joe Biden.

Stand up, Joe! Stand Up!
“The King of Comedy” is one of my all-time favorite movies. Black comedy starring DeNiro, directed by Scorsese. Jerry Lewis plays a Johnny Carson type figure and is AMAZING, you won’t believe it.
Highly, highly, highly, recommended.
I am now a member of “Republican’s to Save Biden’s Candidacy.” I’m actually an independent conservative, but I lied to join the group.
The funniest was when he said...”Oh God, what am I doing??”
Worse yet, if you were in the military can you imgaine taking order from Biden.... or Obama for that matter?
BIDEN: "You've all been a great audience, now EVERYBODY STAND UP, C'mon now, I said everyone STAND UP and welcome the next president of the United States..BARACK OBAMA"
I like "Follicles For Freedom" because of how it sounds, but you'd have to explain it to so many people.
We Republican’s to Save Biden’s Campaign don’t need a snappy name. We rely on his humorous remarks. They’re all pre-planned. We need to think of other lies to keep Biden in the race.
Before long Joe Biden is going to end up hidden away in a locked bunker alongside Michelle so Barry can keep the two of them from screwing things up anymore.
After all - he is doing a good job at that himself.
Follicles for Freedom is somewhat snappy.
I didn’t pray for him. I didn’t even figure him to be on the long list, much less on the short list, much less the final nominee. I figured Edwards, maybe, or that he might have made a I-hate-ya-but-I-need-ya deal with Hillary. Biden? All I can I can say is “God, You’ve once again proven that You exist, that You intervene in Your creation and that You have a sense of humor. I can’t thank You enough.”
ROFL! All you guys are great. — FRegards ....
The funniest was when he said...”Oh God, what am I doing??””
Wouldn’t that be what we would expect him to say when the 3 AM phone call arrives?????
It’s a bright early October morning on Capitol Hill. Joe Biden is bounding up the steps of the Russell Senate Office Building, wearing his trademark grin. As he makes for the door, he is met by a group of airline pilots and flight attendants looking vaguely heroic in their navy-blue uniforms and wing-shaped pins. A blandly handsome man in a pilot’s cap steps forward and asks Biden to help pass emergency benefits for laid-off airline workers. Biden nods as the men and women cluster around him with fawning smiles. Then he speaks. “I hope you will support my work on Amtrak as much as I have supported you,” he begins. (Biden rides Amtrak to work every day and is obsessed with the railroad.) “If not, I will screw you badly.”
A dozen faces fall in unison as Biden lectures on. “You’ve not been good to me. You’re also damn selfish. You better listen to me...” It goes on like this for a couple of minutes. Strangely, Biden keeps grinning—even fraternally slapping the stunned man’s shoulder a couple of times. When we finally head into the building, Biden’s communications director, Norm Kurz, turns to me. “What you just witnessed is classic Senator Biden.”
