CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) will introduce President Barack Obama during prime time this evening at the final night of the Democratic National Convention.
Vice President Joseph Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, will address delegates at the Time Warner Cable Arena during the 9 p.m. hour, convention organizers announced. And no one is more disappointed about Biden’s speaking slot than Republicans, who have taken to Twitter to campaign for the gaffe-prone vice president to speak during the nationally televised 10 p.m. hour instead.
CBS and ABC news will air the DNC’s program only during the 10 p.m. hour, according to MarketWatch. NBC will air a full two hours tonight because it showed the NFL season opening game last night.
Biden made for a frequent punching bag at last week’s GOP convention in Tampa. At the podium, several speakers joked about the former Senator’s propensity for verbal gaffes.
Romney’s running mate, House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), did get a prime time address last week at the Republican National Convention.
Why is he speaking on the final night? Isn’t Illinois a lock? I mean if they can’t get someone decent from a swing state, then what the friggle?
Egad. How many lies does it take to blab on for 45+ minutes! LOL!
Pleeeeeeze let them wake up and kick this guy out!...and the Wookie he rode in with! :)
Beautiful, a guy one bullet away isn’t competent enough to read a teleprompter... just call him life insurance.
I ..... know ......
I was talking about Biden, not even the little emperor! I bet he must’ve droned on for an hour. COULD.. NOT.. DO.. IT..
LOLOL.
Nicely said: “... our first openly retarded vice-president.”
Reminded me of: “It’s better to be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.”
