International Herald Tribune ^ | 1/6/09 | Peter Baker

WASHINGTON: Vice President-elect Joe Biden will not wait to be inaugurated before embarking on the new administration's first overseas fact-finding trip. Biden will fly to undisclosed destinations in Southwest Asia this week.

Although Biden will travel in his capacity as a senator, a job he will vacate within days of returning, the trip effectively represents the incoming administration's first foray into foreign policy since the Nov. 4 election. While outspoken on economic matters, President-elect Barack Obama and Biden have avoided discussing most international issues publicly during the last two months, deferring to President George W. Bush.

This will keep him as far away from the Messiah and his agenda as possible. BO does not want him opening his mouth and taking any attention away from the One.

Let’s see how many faux pas he commits and then take odds on the number reported by the MSM.

I've never understood why they call him VP-elect. Shouldn't he be called VP-appointed? Granted the voters had no choice but to “vote” for him because he was on the ticket with the “One”. But, he was “appointed” by the “One” just like cabinet members are. So, he was really never “elected”. Hussein O was never elected either. He was “appointed by ACORN and the “dead voters, illegals and Micky Mouse”. Just my opinion.

This ought to be good. We’ll probably be at war with Bhutan or Baluchistan by the weekend. I’m sure he’ll have “Stand up, Chuck” moment or two on his junket.

They’re hoping that when he says something stupid over there, no one will think to put it on the Internet.

“Stay there!!!!”

no, no! We need the old gaffer right here in the USA as he is an invaluable asset to we conservatives. He reminds those who voted for him of the error of their ways and thereby gives them a good dose of buyers remorse. Afterall, “stupid is as stupid does”...
