Joe Biden, Senator from Citibank (oops, DELAWARE), to Run for President

yes, they're mythical, right?

(or just wholly unrepresentative of the Israeli political spectrum)

wholly unrepresentative of american jews, who have also shown no real animus toward obama beyond pre-existing partisan identification, so i don't know where cockburn is coming from

Robert Dreyfuss (and Reidar Visser) The Nation:

On Iraq, Biden is worse than McCain

Perversely, by selecting Biden, Obama might in fact hasten the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq, if only because Iraqis won't be able to stomach Vice President Biden pompously lecturing them on why Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds can't live together. ... Biden has quietly suppressed talk of his partition plan even on his own web site, in cleaning up his act in preparation for being named Obama's running mate.

Let Biden try. I'm voting for the best guy.. if McCain runs and wins the nomination for the Repubs and someone like Biden or Lieberman wins the Dem nomination, I'm considering McCain.

IF that happens, so much for what a Dem or Repub means.

lot of stupid shit on this thread

morbz that article lost me two sentences in with

"Obama, whose mushy Iraq plan excites no one, is marrying his own's flawed ideas -- which mostly revolve around beefing up US forces in Afghanistan and unilaterally attacking Pakistan --"

the guy I saw saying those things sure looked and sounded like Obama.

i for one am excited to attack Pakistan unilaterally

Joe is good buds with the ex-senator who is most deserving of living out his dotage in prison:

"When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed. He said, 'look, here's what happened.'"

QUALIFIED

oh shit he goofed up some "well, duh" historical facts that's just as bad as CONFLATING THE SPANISH PRIME MINISTER WITH CENTRAL AMERICAN DICTATORS or NOT KNOWING WHAT THE BUSH DOCTRINE IS thanks for fighting the good fight

didn't he insult one of Obama's ads yesterday?

thanks for reading my mind, Dave, but you're slipping.

I'm much more offended by his cowardice and whoredom, of course.

we are lucky the mccain campaign is imploding now anyway, no-one cares about biden's foot-in-mouth problems.

"no one"

doc, what about the large chunks of the patriot act he wrote...in 1994!

Dr Morbius is offended

no-one who matters

you should def get a job w/ the DNC.

that picture's pretty cool but would be so much better if we could see Lugar and not Norm

Norm Coleman's head is about to collapse in that photo.

does that costume have a Bank of America mannequin fellating Joe?

Yes, it does. Your attention to detail is amazing.

I just finished Jane Mayer's The Selling of Clarence Thomas. I'm trying to forget Biden was a milquetoast as Senate Judiciary Committee chair.

part of his efforts at Obamalike above-partisanship, 16 years early. He's a visionary!

“It’s good to be back in Athens. Now you say ‘Back in Athens, Biden, when were you here?’ Well I went to the University of Delaware and we came out here to play Ohio University. Now that was 228 years ago and we did just fine, but the thing I loved about the university was that it was such a beautiful town and we all hung around out afterwards.”

“Now I made a little mistake here that day, I made a little mistake.”

“I wandered in, I met this lovely group of Ohio University…students,” Biden said winkingly to laughs from the crowd.

“And uh, without knowing it, I shouldn’t admit this on national television because it’ll reveal that I’m over 60, but I thought that we were gonna go get something to eat. What’s that street you have down there, all you guys? See, I…and so I just said to young, two young women I had met, said well why don’t you…we’ll be right back, I said well I’ll come with you, and they said OK, and I walked into their dormitory and was immediately accosted by a cop who arrested me because back in those days men were not allowed in women’s dormitories.”

“But I promise you I never breached the first floor and it was only a temporary detention. But that’s what I most remember about Athens. So folks, look, it’s good to be back here.”

what does "never breached the first floor" mean? is it a diaphragm thing?

He greeted the server. "I'm an ice cream guy. Is ice cream down that way? Could I get a sugar cone and chocolate chip?" He turned to a friend, Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.). "What you gonna have? It's on me -- I'm the last of the big spenders from up north. . . . I'm getting plain old chocolate chip. That's plenty, God love ya." He greeted a woman named Bonita. "Hey, Bonita, I'm Joe. Not the plumber, Joe the Biden." He greeted a man who said his name is Jeff. "Hey, Jim, where you from?"

I fukkin cannot wait for this man to take office.

(given, that was from a dana milbank piece on how he's not allowed to run his mouth on the campaign trail, or whatever. feed the foodless, no more black against old, young against poor, vote once, vote twice for obama/biden, you middle class honkies)

lol joe the biden

"Hey, Bonita, I'm Joe. Not the plumber, Joe the Biden."
so so awesome

hasn't McNasty been calling him Joe the Biden for 2 weeks now?

Biden uses "God love ya" whether he's ordering ice cream or apologizing to paraplegic legislators.

also, he's the #1 or 2 reason I can't vote for Bam

for whom are you finally voting?

ya got me. even the 3rd-party candidates suck this year. (altho voting for an actual Socialist would be a nice tribute to McCain/Palin)
