BIDEN: "You've all been a great audience, now EVERYBODY STAND UP, C'mon now, I said everyone STAND UP and welcome the next president of the United States..BARACK OBAMA"

Stand up, Joe! Stand Up!
“The King of Comedy” is one of my all-time favorite movies. Black comedy starring DeNiro, directed by Scorsese. Jerry Lewis plays a Johnny Carson type figure and is AMAZING, you won’t believe it.
Highly, highly, highly, recommended.
BIDEN: "You've all been a great audience, now EVERYBODY STAND UP, C'mon now, I said everyone STAND UP and welcome the next president of the United States..BARACK OBAMA"I didn’t pray for him. I didn’t even figure him to be on the long list, much less on the short list, much less the final nominee. I figured Edwards, maybe, or that he might have made a I-hate-ya-but-I-need-ya deal with Hillary. Biden? All I can I can say is “God, You’ve once again proven that You exist, that You intervene in Your creation and that You have a sense of humor. I can’t thank You enough.”
It’s a bright early October morning on Capitol Hill. Joe Biden is bounding up the steps of the Russell Senate Office Building, wearing his trademark grin. As he makes for the door, he is met by a group of airline pilots and flight attendants looking vaguely heroic in their navy-blue uniforms and wing-shaped pins. A blandly handsome man in a pilot’s cap steps forward and asks Biden to help pass emergency benefits for laid-off airline workers. Biden nods as the men and women cluster around him with fawning smiles. Then he speaks. “I hope you will support my work on Amtrak as much as I have supported you,” he begins. (Biden rides Amtrak to work every day and is obsessed with the railroad.) “If not, I will screw you badly.”
A dozen faces fall in unison as Biden lectures on. “You’ve not been good to me. You’re also damn selfish. You better listen to me...” It goes on like this for a couple of minutes. Strangely, Biden keeps grinning—even fraternally slapping the stunned man’s shoulder a couple of times. When we finally head into the building, Biden’s communications director, Norm Kurz, turns to me. “What you just witnessed is classic Senator Biden.”

The Right....right again.
That piece got funnier and funnier every time Rush played it the other day.
Hey, I’d rather have Joe Biden than B. Hussein for president.

Speaking of Rush predicting Biden, I also heard he predicted Palin. Is that true, and does anyone have it somewhere on an early thread?
