Cheney Beats Biden:
The Washington Times ^ | February 18, 2010 | Editorial

Posted on 02/17/2010 6:50:38 PM PST by Abakumov

The White House deployed Mr. Biden to NBC's "Meet the Press" to counter Mr. Cheney, a task the current vice president approached with his usual mix of fact, fancy and befuddlement. He pointed out that the Obama administration is effectively using expanded drone attacks on terrorist leaders in Pakistan and elsewhere, but he failed to note that this was a George W. Bush-era policy that the Obama administration wisely has continued. He dodged the question of what might happen if terrorist mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed is acquitted at his trial, repeating the Obama team's line that "he will not be walking the streets of the United States of America." This sounds like another way of saying if the Obama administration fails to convict the sheik, he will be sent off to walk the streets of some other country.

With Biden it could say anything along those lines — fancy, fantasy, fiction, farce...

Cheney never gets riled up when he goes on TV. On the other hand, Biden gets so steamed up you think his hair plugs will spontaneously combust.

With apologies to SNL, Dick Cheney probably has chunks of guys like Joe Biden in his stool.

After the headline, the story was a disappointment.

I wanted blood, teeth, hair and eyeballs scattered around the room.

I think it’s why Biden chose to go on NBC rather than risk a face-to-face slapdown on ABC. Also Biden was in Canada for extra safety.

That's not really a fair fight, but I guess Biden can only blame is boss for sending him into a situation he's not armed to cope with....of course debating with a 4th grader would qualify as well.

Biden fancies himself a wit but he’s only half right.http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2452868/posts

True enough. I might even go so far as to include “fruitcake.” ;)

"The February Quadrennial Homeland Security Review Report does not mention Muslim extremism, though it does highlight "the threat of global climate change." "

May God help us all.
