ATTENTION ALL REPORTERS!!! Start checking your Blackberries! William Rivers Pitt has another news scoop! You should find out about it in 24 business hours. And the amazing scoop can be described in just one word according to Pitt: "Eagleton." Ironically, Pitt might finally get a scoop right but in the wrong way. The Pied Piper thinks this will apply to Sarah Palin being removed from the ticket but I happen to know that it will be Joe Biden who will be facing the same situation due to a certain piece of material out there that will surface soon...maybe in 24 business hours. This material would be like watching Tom Eagleton actually undergoing electro-shock therapy. However, I really don't want Biden to be removed from the Obama ticket. It is much better for him to remain where he is and pull Obama and all the other Democrats down, unable to recover from the loss for at least another generation. So it turns out that Pitt is right but in 180 degrees the wrong way as you can see in his DUmmie THREAD titled, "So...the top post on Talking Points Memo is 1 word long...one name, really...and a question mark..." Therefore let us join Pitt in mid "scoop" in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, noting that the "Eagleton" word will soon be resurrected but not in the direction that Pitt hopes, is in the [brackets]:
So...the top post on Talking Points Memo is 1 word long...one name, really...and a question mark...
[The Pied Piper Pitt memo is 1 word long: "Drunk."]
"Eagleton?"
["Biden?"]
For the edification of any who don't yet know about one of the more remarkably grotesque political debacles in modern American history.
[As big a debacle as the scoop about Karl Rove being indicted on May 12, 2006? While we wait 24 business hours for Pitt's scoop to materialize, let us join the DUmmies in progress...]
I don't get it...is it the replacement thing or the mental health thing? Or is there some other significance to the name.
[There was a lot of significance to the name of Jason Leopold, half of the famous investigative team of Leopold & Lib who broke the Karl Rove indictment scoop.]
The replacement thing. They are implying she will have to be replaced. They might have used "Miers?"
[Or "Biden?"]
Well, McGovern lost the election after Eagleton thing. I think they are implying this could cost McCain the election if he has to replace her.
[Note to Obama: Please don't replace Joe Biden after a certain piece of material is revealed. BTW, one other person other than Charles Henrickson is privy to the material. FReeper faq put on his Sherlock Holmes hat and figured it all out to the extent that he even knows the date and location of the material. Oh, I am also going to have to swear faq to an oath of omerta.]
Who would he choose for his encore?
[Hillary? But I don't want Obama to make a switch. I hope he stands 1000% behind Joe Biden.]
Eagleton, for those who don't remember, was tapped to be a VP running mate and then had to be un-tapped. It was very bad all the way around.
[Watching a video of Joe Biden in Beaver, PA, I am wondering if he tapped a keg there.]
Oh, and don't forget, faq, MUM's the word!
first
PING!
top 5
The bottomless Pitt of booze!
Hint? I won't tell anyone. :)
I heard that they are trying to say that Palin’s son is actually her grandson.
faq figured it out by following the clues.
Cool I got into the top ten!
Dump Biden and pick up Hillary???
Is it related to the Biden brother and son and hedge fund business? I don’t see a lot of PMSNBC hosts following that track!
I guess I’m not awake yet but I don’t understand a thing I just read... Sorry.
DUmmies are claiming that something from Palin’s past is going to come out making her a drag on the ticket. Sounds like much dog doo about nothing. Turns out Biden and Obama are the ones who have to worry about that.
Here’s info on Eagleton. Some of us had to refresh our memory on that story.

If you’ve got something to say, say it. If you don’t, keep your thoughts to yourself and quit wasting bandwidth.
Nope. Much more entertaining.

Is Biden another Eagleton?
I thought about that the day after Biden was chosen, that something would make Democrats suddenly understand they’d picked the wrong guy and they’d find some way to replace him. Now, someone else is wondering/predicting the same thing, but for another reason: One month from now, the Palin pick has proven a bonanza for the McCain campaign. A large chunk of Hillary’s 18 million voters have been won over. Conservatives are unified and energized, and the previously-undiscovered “Maxim magazine vote” is suddenly giving McCain large margins among young males. Joe Biden will disappear from the campaign trail, and we will later learn it was to see a doctor. A previously-undiscovered, vaguely ominous health issue will be discovered, and Biden will sadly announce that he cannot continue as Obama’s running mate. With a sudden need for a new one, Obama will turn… to Hillary Clinton.

I don’t mean to sound ‘slow’, but are y’all sayin’ that Obama is getting ready to throw Biden under the Bus (w/Wright, his white grandmother, et al)???
Does it involve the Hare Club for Men?
JAWOHL MEIN UBERGRUPPENTHREADFUHRER!!!
