BREAKING: Biden Unloads On Clinton, Obama, Edwards
TMP Cafe ^ | 1-31-07 | Greg Sargent

Posted on 01/31/2007 6:31:11 AM PST by STARWISE

Oh, man -- Joe Biden is making big news today. In an interview with The New York Observer, Biden unloads on Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards, offering scathing criticism of all three and their plans for Iraq. Here's Biden on Edwards: "I don’t think John Edwards knows what the heck he is talking about." And here's Biden on Hillary's Iraq plan: "nothing but disaster." To our knowledge, this is the first time in Campaign 2008 that a Dem has directly engaged Clinton, and we have a feeling Clinton's rapid-response operation is going to be on overdrive today. Some excerpts of Biden's assault on the three Dems after the jump.

On Hillary's Iraq plan:

“From the part of Hillary’s proposal, the part that really baffles me is, ‘We’re going to teach the Iraqis a lesson.’ We’re not going to equip them? O.K. Cap our troops and withdraw support from the Iraqis? That’s a real good idea.”

The result of Mrs. Clinton’s position on Iraq, Mr. Biden says, would be “nothing but disaster.”...

On her electability:

“Everyone in the world knows her,” he said. “Her husband has used every single legitimate tool in his behalf to lock people in, shut people down. Legitimate. And she can’t break out of 30 percent for a choice for Democrats? Where do you want to be? Do you want to be in a place where 100 percent of the Democrats know you? They’ve looked at you for the last three years. And four out of 10 is the max you can get?”

LOL..
From your link:


"In June 2006, Massachusetts State Senator Jarrett Barrios gained national attention when he proposed legislation restricting the serving of Fluffernutter sandwiches in public schools. The proposal was widely mocked as an example of trivial and overly intrusive legislation, while Barrios supporters pointed to concerns over the problem of childhood obesity.[1]"

So any guesses what Biden means by 'fluffernutter'....LO?

He is right about it being a Edwards' plan being fluffernutter, it's trivial legislation.

Biden's come up with a pretty good triangulation, actually.

I don't trust the guy as far as he can grow his own hair, but he's let the others go out on a limb, and then positioned himself right next to the trunk of the tree.

Smart move.

No, stick with wackadoodles! Fluffernutter's too good for these people & it puts a bad spin on a much loved childhood delicacy.

He'll be the Carol Mosley-Braun of the 2008 Democrat primary.

I know he's not black, but Mosley-Braun bailed first in 2004. (...and then there were 8)
