No, he wasn’t, as the New York Times eventually made clear. But the point of a political fundraiser is to tell the audience what it wants to hear in exchange for cash, so here’s Biden earning some money for Ed Markey in Boston last night:

“This man was elected president of the United States of America,” Biden said according to the pool report. “No, no, no. He was elected president of the United States of America. But for the good of the nation, when the bad decision in my view was made, he did the right thing for the nation.”

Biden, a potential 2016 candidate for president, praised Gore’s decision to accept the Supreme Court’s decision and walk away from the presidency…

“Al, you set an example for this country that is going to live as long as recorded history, about the man who won by a decision that I think constitutional scholars now and in the future will conclude was an ill fated decision,” Biden said. “The way you stepped up, it was amazing.”

Biden has no understanding of how the system works.

The FL electoral vote count was sent to DC, as per law, while the silly court shenanigans were going on. There wasn't a thing any court could have done about it, even Scotus.

Hey, stop insulting fools.

Obama is competent enough to get his socialist programs through. Biden isn’t, even with a Democrat Senate. (But then, The Dim Bulb From Searchlight isn’t a lot brighter than Lunchbucket Joe.) So if you impeach Obama, you esentially take away the Democrats’ ability to make it worse.

Assuming, of course, that Emperor Hussein I even permits an election.

All the Buchanan votes were really for Gore. Don’t you know that?

Last I heard, he was being kept trussed up in a secret underground bunker at Camp David with a ball-gag in his mouth.

He must have escaped.

I wonder if those “free” (taxpayer funded) Obamaphones are on the Verizon network...

Let’s face it, you won’t be in 2016.

Let it not be forgotten that the liberal media declared Florida for Gore an hour before the polls closed in the heavily-conservative panhandle, which probably depressed Bush’s turnout by thousands of voters (”Why go vote after work since Gore has already won?”.
