"The Joy of Joe Biden
Hugh Hewitt

Listening to Slow Joe Biden ramble through his first 2:45 will almost certainly be a highlight of Day 1 of the Alito hearings, full as it was of his grandfather Finnegan, Joe's hatred of Princeton, the almost disclosure of what sounded like his son getting turned down by Princeton --how his son must have loved that, especially if he got in and turned Princeton down!-- and his summary of Justice O'Connor's jurisprudence.
A bit into the monolouge I figured out that Slow Joe's meme for the week would be "puzzled" and "puzzling," and began to count his use of those terms, which is obviously intended to deflect criticism that Joe's a mean-spirited, blinkered ideologue like Schumer, Leahy or Kennedy.
I just sent Joe flowers. Really. How could I not do so? He makes my job so easy, so full of smiles.
I just left Duane, my producer the message, that he needs to grab the entire Joe audio, and to prepare one outakes of all of Joe's many ahs, aaaahs, uhmms etc, but also a montage of his "puzzles," "puzzleds," and "puzzlings."
The message read "Thank you, thank you, thank you for being you."
Slow Joe Biden: A testament to the proposition that, truly, anyone can be a United States Senator."""
She's been treated for breast and cervical cancers. I believe she's in remission now. She's in her 70s--I believe she may be 73, but not sure.
If you have time during the break, may I suggest that you all take a moment and call Sen. Coburn's office and thank them for his magnificent comments yesterday. I called this morning...his staff was most appreciative....I have to run and do some work..maybe someone can post the phone numbers..and a link to his comments on the transcript from yesterday..
ROFL!
That's an ad hoc sample. I also don't know if AOL lets the person vote more than once if they clear their cache.
I guess the betting money now moves to the dates of the votes and the vote counts.
Oh..that's right!!
I had forgotten that he was planning on running for POTUS...oh, my.
Maybe that is why he "tried" to maybe, sorta not just smack Alito...he didn't want to be remembered for "beating up" the new Supreme Court justice...
LOL...(not gonna work, Joey)
She's positioning for it..but if the Dems implode this election..lose seats in both Huse and Senate, ( as I think will happen) the left wing will go nuts, and say that they lost because the Dems in Congress were to ewasy on Bush..didn't filabuster, etc...she will have a real challenge in the primaries, and the nomination may not be worth winning...As much as she wants to win the WH..she is more afraid of losing..if she doesn't think she has a real chance..she'll punt..

"what exactly is wrong with Ginsburg and how old is she exactly? Thanks anyone?"
To my knowledge...she was chief counsel for the ACLU. So, if Ginsburg were actually for America, all would be okay with her being there. But I'm thinking, she's not.
At least this way he can disagree with her without worrying about a car crash
I have NO idea..and that shows the Dems' problem..
I think she's been running since she and Bubba walked INTO the WH in 1992.
Oh... I thought you knew and were just playing a quiz game with us...
It'll be Pelosi, count on it.
Most of these Dems are laughable.
>>I think she's been running since she and Bubba walked INTO the WH in 1992<<
According to Dick Morris she's been running since College.
I had lunch at school with my granddaughter...so I haven't gotten to hear all of it...but, he seems (when he gets a chance to talk)...very prepared...and patient.
