The DUmmies are freakin. The koskids are crappin. This is going to be fun.
Biden brings baggage to The Inexperienced One’s camp. What a brilliant stroke. I suppose Rove was in on this.
Biden brings lots of experience to the green Obamamessiah,
He brings experience in gaffes, plagarizing and general boneheaded statements.
Its either one or the other.
Please tell us more about Kos and DU.
I’ve already taken a shower.
I couldn’t believe it when he was announced for VP slot...I thought it must have been a mistake.
I thought, “...they must have meant White House Jester...”
Now it’s Biden’s turn to look at Obama and say, “Hey Boss”! What a stupid choice. It must mean that everyone else turned Obama down!
Ok, I am grasping at straws here. I have been trying to make sense of “why Joe Biden?” and I am failing to see any angle that suggests he helps nObama win a state or group that he doesn’t already have, nor does he add any real weight of gravitas in the way Cheney did for Bush.
This is a stretch, but given this guys past record of controversy, I am tinkering with the idea that perhaps they think they need a lightning rod to draw away attention from some of the “bubbling” issues about nObama himself (constitutional eligibility, cocaine use and homosexual conduct, lack of achievement, “whitey”, etc).
By providing conservatives with a guy who has so much in his record to feast on, they might be hoping to do an end-around to avoid having to deal with nObama’s skeletons, thinking that we are like sharks...put a little blood in the water and we’ll go into a frenzy while nObama makes his escape.
Of course...if that is what they were thinking I believe it’s a doomed strategy.
A ‘statesman’
Oh really!!!
I am indebted to the wise seasoned Freepers at Free Republic “baggage” check who open the “suitcases” and keep me informed! Glad we don’t have an item prohibited or size limit policy at “baggage” check on this 74 day journey to DC! Thank you posters!
Who could ever describe Biden as a Statesman?
The boys at Politico and of course that will be picked up by the other drivebys.
As for no Statesmen in last 50 years. George H W Bush is very close in my view. He was such a Statesman he was not a good politician.
Maybe Obama realizes he is going to lose BIG, and wants someone to blame it on when it happens!
Biden has wanted to be POTUS for along time.
Maybe Obama’s just his puppet to get into the White House.
I don't know who I dislike more Obama or Biden. At least Obama’s just stupid. But Biden is power hungry with an ego and sharp tongue that makes this ticket really scary.
Time to buy a three pound container of Costco Orville Redenbacher popcorn for this one.
I seem to recall that on Sept 10, 2001, Biden published an article belittling Bush on W’s “obsession” with rouge states and terrorism. Bad timing to say the least. Can someone find this article?
There have been very few lately and many like Bush 41 were close but not the same in stature as I’ve always seen the word. I think the word came into being early in the last century and always, regardless of country, centered around war (hot or cold). They were a different breed than the politician today. Don’t get me wrong we had politicians back then and they have changed little. But we also had Statesmen and the current crop of politicians aren’t statesmen.
Scary? Are you kidding? Its going to be a laughathon all the way to election day. Obama bin Biden is a an unbelievable gift for the pubbies.
Make sure you listen to Rush next week. He’s going to have a field day with it.
