Here comes Joey Boo Boo
Keep your shirt on, Democrats. They've called in their clean-up hitter:
SO WHICH Vice President Joe Biden will show up in Kentucky for Thursday night's critical debate?
Will it be . . . a) the shirtless "Joe Biden" who washes his Trans Am in the White House driveway, who offers guitar lessons on fliers outside the Oval Office, who wore a ponytail to the 2008 inauguration and once headed off to Mexico to cool his heels for a while?
Or will it be . . . b) the vice president who dropped an F-bomb on his boss the day that health-care reform passed, who said the middle class has been "buried" during President Obama's years in office, who once claimed that Franklin Roosevelt addressed the nation on television after the 1929 Wall Street crash (four years before FDR's presidency and a decade before TV) and who posed with that biker lady on his lap?
Or . . . c) the Joe Biden that can fire up a union hall with talk of his Irish-American roots in blue-collar Scranton, a happy warrior who blasts the Republican ticket for wanting to replace Medicare with "Vouchercare" and defends the Obama administration with the line that "Bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive"?
Look, I'm sure if FDR was able to go on TV and calm a jittery nation in 1929 that Biden can have the same impact on President Obama's re-election.
I'll be talking the debate on the Twitter machine tonight and then writing about it on the bark of trees that are right now being crushed into pulp in order to bring the news to people without electricity. See you then!
- Its an alternate reality to just assume a Republican would be worse, instead of dealing with what Biden actually did.
— RG - Remember the gushing stories by our watchdog media about how Barry chose Caroline Kennedy to pick his runnimg mate? You know, because she was the daughter of a dead President or something. Makes complete sense of course.— teardownthisfishwrap
- Almost as clever as picking a Governor that nobody ever heard of because he needed a "gamechanger". How did that work out for ya?
— wokmaster - "and the additional security that could have been provided wouldn't have prevented the attack"
This is not a fact, it is the opinion of the State Dept which is defending itself against the accusations. kind of a big difference.
And you are still dodging why the State Dept and admin insisted it was a protest gone wrong for weeks despite overwhelming evidence.— RG - Did you watch the hearing? — wokmaster
- "you're supposed to remember box office flops like Atlas Shrugged I."
Or be able to read and understand what II means in a movie title. Baby steps.
— RG - MSLs strategy: ignore what has actually happened and focus on an alternate reality to convince yourself its ok to vote for people whose actions clearly violate your so called principles.— RG
- "Ambassador Patrick Kennedy defended UN Ambassador Susan Rice’s claim on September 16 that the attack was part of a spontaneous protest that erupted over an anti-Islam video, saying that anyone at the State Department would have said the same thing as Rice based on the intelligence available at the time. “If any administration official, including any career official, were on television on Sunday, September 16, they would have said what Ambassador Rice said. The information she had at that point from the intelligence community is the same that I had at that point,” said Kennedy.
But, as Republicans on the Oversight Committee pointed out, that appears to contradict Kennedy’s comments from a September 12 unclassified briefing, when he reportedly called it a terrorist attack."
— RG - "Another State Department official, Charlene Lamb, wrote in her prepared testimony (but did not read aloud) that she was able to monitor the attack “in almost real-time” once a Diplomatic Security agent activated the imminent danger notification system. Yet she didn’t explain why the State Department and other administration officials initially said spontaneous protests were responsible for the attack, if there had been officials monitoring it in real-time."— RG
- So what RG is trying to say is that he didn't see the hearing. Got it. You have to understand that RG has an agenda. I still clearly remember when he and willy atkins were developing this narrative a month ago tonight - before Ambassador Steven's body was cold.— wokmaster
- wokmaster, a month ago you were calling for "consequences" against the filmmaker. You gonna walk that one back anytime soon, or are you fine with being a fascist?
I'm all for supporting the freedoms which I mentioned above, but shouldn't there be some consequences when the aforementioned freedoms being exercised are done so with the sole intention of creating a catastrophe and putting Americans abroad in harm's way?
— wokmaster— RG - wok also had a comment deleted because he was advocating that commenters be strung up for treason.— RG
- And I'm fine with both of those comments, RG. So, let me ask you again, did you watch the hearing?— wokmaster
- So, RG, oh principled one, do you believe that there should be any limits to free speech? If so, please elaborate.— wokmaster
- That FDR had a good TV show. It came on right after Green Acres, if I remember right. Sponsored by Prell Shampoo and Gleem Toothpaste.— carl and sons
