It was as though Vice President Biden time-warped back to last fall. Because on Sunday he was in full campaign attack mode. Oh, it was an idyllic setting. Nobody saw it coming. The vice president had just finished delivering the commencement address at Syracuse University and stopped by to chat with students at Bellevue Elementary School. During the intense question and answer period, one child asked the vice president if he had ever petted a dog. “Yeah, but guess what? I’ve got a dog that lives with me,” Biden replied. “The smartest, coolest dog in the world.”
Normally, you’d leave it at that. You’ve praised your dog. Why denigrate another? Because in campaigns you have to differentiate yourself from your opponent. And campaigns are in Biden’s blood. That’s when he let it be known that Bo Obama was a dolt. “The new dog I have is only five months old and his name is Champ,” Biden told the schoolkids. “My dog is smarter than Bo, his dog,” he jabbed. “I think so,” he taunted. Yeah, I do.” An astute politician, Biden apparently didn’t want to be seen as a mudslinger so he conceded that “Bo’s a beautiful dog too.” To watch the full shocking video, click here. To understand what Vice President Biden meant to say, watch Robert Gibbs’ press briefing tomorrow.

Kind of reminds me of Mr. Pitt giving the speech about the water company mergers looking and gesturing like Hitler. /seinfeld
Biden insults President Obama’s dog at Syracuse:
“Yeah, did you hear everyone, Barack’s got a new dog. Here’s a picture of it...oh geez, that’s Michelle - come on Joe - stand up for Bo!
I hear that Biden’s Secret Service code name is “Impeachment Insurance.”
Kennedy Endorses Water Dog For Obama Family
[from the unbelievable but true file!]
WBZTV.Com ^ | January 13, 2009
Senator Ted Kennedy made an important political endorsement Tuesday [January 2009]. Massachusetts' Senior Senator endorsed the Portuguese water dog as the perfect pet for the nation's new first family.
[snip]
"A Portuguese water dog is the perfect choice for first dog," Kennedy said in a written statement. "The Obama girls -- and their parents -- will love a Portuguese water dog. They're loyal, smart, loving and they became a real part of the family. And they definitely do not shed."
Senator Kennedy and wife Vicki have three Portuguese water dogs of their own. Sunny and Splash often accompany Kennedy to the Senate. "They love being around people and being part of the action," he said.
The Kennedy's just added a third Portuguese water dog to the family, a puppy named Captain Courageous – or 'Cappy' for short. ..."
Senator Ted Kennedy's
Portuguese Water Dog puppy,
"Captain Courageous".

Barack Obama's family pick first puppy, a Portuguese water dog named Bo
April 12, 2009
"file picture of a Portuguese water dog, the breed Barack Obama's family has picked as the first puppy"
THE family of US president Barack Obama have chosen a Portuguese water dog to be the first pet.
In what was one of the White House's most tightly kept secrets, the Washington Post revealed Mr Obama's daughters, 10-year-old Malia and seven-year-old Sasha, have settled on a pup named Bo.
The Post published photos of the presidential puppy meeting Mr Obama's family. See the photos here.
The black-and-white puppy is a gift from Senator Ted Kennedy. Bo is scheduled to make his big debut to the American public early next week.
Mr Obama's daughters chose the name Bo because first lady Michelle Obama's father was nicknamed Diddley, the newspaper reported.
White House aides told The Associated Press that the office of the first lady arranged an exclusive deal on the dog story with the Post.

Chappaquiddick:
"On Friday night July 18, 1969 around midnight a married man, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, was driving his oldsmobile on the island of Chappaquiddick with a single woman named Mary Jo Kopechne aboard when he, allegedly drunk, drove the car off a bridge and into a pond. He was leaving a party attended only by five married men and six unmarried women. Kennedy escaped the car and swam to shore. Mary Jo Kopechne was not quite so lucky. She died in the car, in the water.
Kennedy failed to even contact the police for a full nine hours, after he was told the car and body had been found.
The Kennedy family chartered a plane to immediately fly the victim's body to her hometown, Wilkes-Barre. No autopsy was conducted.
The person who asked me to publish this noted that there are at least two generations of Americans who are not all that familiar with this event. Even if they have heard something about it, they do not fully appreciate how blatantly incriminating this story is. It has faded into nothingness.
Historians will most likely recount these events for the benefit of the nation's youth but that will be 100 years from now. They'll likely have much to say about Kennedy's angry rants about how Bush and Republicans have lied, lied, lied. They'll likely point to guys like Kennedy in a discussion about how liberal ideology was largely discredited in this epoch. It will be interesting reading that none of us will have the opportunity to enjoy.
Teleprompter smack down!
Come on Joe... That's no way to talk about Michelle
Apparently, their admissions standards have slipped. Either that, or affirmative action has taken a weird turn.
Biden routinely proves that he’s an idiot everytime he opens his mouth.
No wonder Zero tries to keep him in hiding.
And, we’re supposed to believe that the pair (Zero and Biden) have the IQ of rocket scientists??
More like “Pinky and the Brain”.
(Take your pick as to which is whom).
LOL. this is funny!
That’s ok, Bo returns the compliment.
You would think that EMK would want to avoid any possible association with the words “water” or “splash”
How about “Captain Courageous”? That’s apparently the name of his newest water dog.
That’s a twofer.
LOL
BTW, who’s EMK? I assumed you were referring to Ted Kennedy.
