VIDEOWatch Joe Biden as he performs the Thorazine Shuffle in a command performance. Although his feet never seem to leave the ground, it is not to be confused with a Moonwalk since instead of smoothly gliding backwards, he lurches forward via jerky motions with arms limply hanging by his sides. The Thorazine Shuffle has become very popular with audiences everywhere. Also popular among awed spectators is his demonstration of an amazing feat of strength with his half pound beach chair lift.

This nullifies the recall and secures his female Lt Gov as California new leader. Dems guarantee continued power in Kalifornia The new regime gets the usual grace period of celebration, love and kisses.

Bill Clinton sought to persuade Rep. Kendrick Meek to drop out of the race for Senate during a trip to Florida last week — and nearly succeeded. Meek agreed — twice — to drop out and endorse Gov. Charlie Crist’s independent bid in a last-ditch effort to stop Marco Rubio, the Republican nominee who stands on the cusp of national stardom. Meek, a staunch Clinton ally from Miami, has failed to broaden his appeal around the state and is mired in third place in most public polls, with a survey today showing him with just 15 percent of the vote....
