On the day Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) formally becomes a presidential candidate, he previewed for the New York Observer why the Democratic candidate debates may be so exciting.
On Sen. Hillary Clinton:
“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?”
On Sen. Barack Obama: "II mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man." But... “I don’t recall hearing a word from Barack about a plan or a tactic.”
On Sen. John Edwards: "I don’t think John Edwards knows what the heck he is talking about."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Biden's first presidential run derailed because he was caught using parts of JF Kennedy's speeches?
Not exactly:
Biden proves he's a man of his word
Yes, Mr. Biden is proud that, _in his opinion_, it took only until 2007 for an articulate, bright, clean
African-American male to show up. (His spin on the remark might be, "I mean he's the first black male like that to be running for President..." Oh wait--how about Al Sharpton? Jesse? etc. but I don't think
he actually said "...to be running for President").
ROFLMAO!! Sounds like it to me! LOL! Oh boy is he in for it! LOL!
Thanks for the link.
Is Biden the one that made that comment about Indians awhile back and got a free pass?
Biden wants to be the last man standing. And we're still 21 months out from the election. This is going to be fun!
Biden finished.
On Sen. Barack Obama: "II mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man." But... “I don’t recall hearing a word from Barack about a plan or a tactic.”
Hilarious link! Everybody needs to read Biden's stream of consciousness response to a question about where he was in Vietnam.
...a nut who believes he is God's special gift to America. This will be at least 3 1/2 stars. File under "New Comedy."
Hey he's just telling it the way he feels.
This is great. It's going to make Edwards feel "special" too! LOL!
I'm sure he can get by nicely slamming Edwards and obama. Hillary would approve.
But slamming Hillary ... hey, that could be dangerous.
Which brings to mind a question: is Hillary as dangerous as we think? Mia T would say she is.
If you're lucky, she just ruins you. Otherwise, well, don't make any long-term plans.
Howard Dean...paging Howard Dean...
The other kookoobirds aren't 'mainstream.'
"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy."
Is he saying Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton aren't mainstream, clean, articulate or nice looking? All of the above?
The very same. He is also notable for plagiarizing a speech from Neil Kinnock while he was running for President in 1987 and leading the Borking Brigade on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Biden is a stupid man who should consider himself lucky that he somehow entered the Senate at a very young age. It is pathetic that he actually believes he is fit for the Oval Office. This may end up as the shortest Presidential Campaign in history after this stupid remark.
Remember that Biden was a candidate for President at the same time as Jesse Jackson. This comment tells us pretty clearly what he thinks of the Reverend with a love child.
