Any poll that says Bin Laden has a higher approval Rating than President Bush is full of .....bleep!

[cbkaty]

What's wrong w/Biden...sounds out of breath?

[WestVirginiaRebel]

We are not "Walking alone" you moron.

[NautiNurse]

What a cretin! "bin Laden has a higher approval rating than President Bush and America as a whole."

[Bahbah]

an optional war in Iraq"

I thought he said that. Thanks. Says we need to act with humility and our motives are suspect in the Muslim world. Clearly, he does not understand the Muslim world if he thinks diplomacy wiill change that.

[ChadGore]

Biden says, with a hint of regret in his voice, "We pay a price for snoozing the alarm clock in the morning."

[nutmeg]

ping! :-)

[cyncooper]

Basically Biden talking about the challenges facing a Secretary of State in the world and the perception other countries have of us.

[AmericanMade1776]

Biden said Kerry was absent from the process.

[kevkrom]

Biden missed the train!---TOO FUNNY!

There have been some train problems here today because of the cold weather...

[OXENinFLA]

What a cretin! "bin Laden has a higher approval rating than President Bush and America as a whole."

WTF?!?!

[Carolinamom]

Biden says Osama bin Ladin has a higher approval rating than President Bush........IN IRAQ. Not only do I not believe that, I don't remember any polls there to come to this conclusion. Does anyone....other than dems...believe this?

[Peach]

The left never met a dictator they didn't like.

[SoFloFreeper]

Biden now wants to assign a "mission" to Condi. I thought his job was to vote on her getting the post, not to assign duties. Where in the Constitution does a Senator get to assign duties to a cabinet member?

[PilloryHillary]

I shudder to think that if Kerry were elected, Biden could quite possibly have been Secretary of State. Ungh!

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Condi's got that really annoyed look on her face...she's not the only one!

[Dane]

What's wrong w/Biden...sounds out of breath?

Missed his train and almost missed his chance to bloviate.

He could win the gold medal, just make sure there is a TV camera at the finish line.

[plain talk]

"bin Laden has a higher approval rating than President Bush and America as a whole."

Great statement. This proves that the world is wrong and the problem is with them not us. There is no reasoning with a world that likes bin laden more than Bush.

[TomGuy]

Contest: Who will be the first to utter the phrase, "slippery slope", today?

[MEG33]

Biden ,after a good start, is pouring on the criticism now ...Glad Fox cut away.
