Yep, he’s no Red Rider BB gun, but he may just fit the bill (compared to the rest of the field). Even when he inevitably says something stupid or offensive, at least it will take the heat off of Obama. Still can’t forgive him for that bankruptcy bill vote though.

Those who believed Obama’s rhetoric are in for another disappointment. At least he’ll be a good attack dog. Now if McCain would only pick Tim Pawlenty.

Looks like another long elections cycle….

We are such jerks.

perfect analogy

There’s still that plagiarism rap and we all know that Democratic plagiarism is Really Really Bad – unlike Republican plagiarism.

Biden’s not such a bad pick. He’s like the anti-McSame.

My logic goes something like this:
Lizard brain voter says to himself “I hate McCain but I can’t vote for that negro feller…” So, they hold their nose and vote McSame.

Now they might see Biden and say to themselves “hey there’s an old white guy I can vote for instead!”

Okay, so it’s not the best theory, but Biden does say halfway-smart things at times.

True, but at least it’s not a gift wrapped tube of Preperation H.

Personally, I’d be underwhelmed with this choice, yet I can think of plenty of other choices that would whelm me worse. I kind of thought he’d be a good SoS and I don’t see how he delivers any goose for Obama’s electoral party.

fafblog on Joe Biden and the VP-ship

JOE BIDEN:
Pros: one of the Senate’s oldest and most respected experts in the field of Joe Biden; vast bullshit reserve could be tapped for its methane, powering nation for decades; fondness for partition and ethnic cleansing could be a valuable asset during the Second American Civil War of 2013
Cons: as a wholly-owned subsidiary of DuPont, may be ineligible to hold office

I dunno…you ought to see my underwear. And it’s only August…

It’s like underwear with hairplugs. But at least it’s not Evan Bayh.

I’m still hoping for a surprise pick. The present contenders are as bland as a lettuce milkshake. My out of the ballpark pick is James Jones (former NATO Supreme Commander) I’ve heard him at congressional hearings and have had admiration for his gravitas and measured commentary. Instant respect.

Yeah, it is kinda tough to shoot someone’s eye out with underwear.

Wouldn’t it be great if McCain picked Lieberman?

I haven’t been good enough for that prayer to be answered.

See MoDo’s fantasy on that today.

This begs the question Tbogg. If Biden is “like getting underwear for Christmas”–who would be your 430-hp 6.2L LS3 V8 Corvette when it’s announced on Saturday morning?

You could have forgotten Clinton months ago. And Gore isn’t change–he’s been there and failed that. The two hundred million dollar Norma Rae and her racist supporters lending new meaning to the word “catharsis”–which is really “fuck all of you we won’t go and we love our racism.” The Clintons should have been picked up and rendered with a stop in Scotland a long time ago and kept the hell out of Denver.

Bill is a non-starter; and the Clintons refuse to reveal possible criminal exposure in their 2007 income taxes like Cindy McCain in this respect. They refuse to reveal the donors to their Foundation or more donors to their library like the Canadian Uranium Kazakhstan
deal that neted them $32 million for the library or whatever.

Sibelius? Kane? Bayh? I’ve seen more dynamic contributions to a campaign from a block of granite and neither of them have done jack of note as governor or in the Senate.

Biden knows foreign policy in a far better paradigm than anything the Republicans have and the cliche that he talks to much is from the media who were puppets on the stupidity of the Ivins investigation as well as DOJ’s plans to build biometric profiles to paint you and your neighbors as criminal suspects while your passive congress and the idiot Pelossi from Cal. drools.

It’d be greater if McCain picked Hillary. Modo was right on target. Catharsis does mean “fuck all of you we’re racists.”
