Courtesy of the Daily Caller:
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Vice President Joe Biden will be President Barack Obama’s running mate in the upcoming election, putting to rest any speculation about Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stepping into the number two spot.
Carney was asked by Ed Henry of Fox News to “settle” the issue “once and for all” and say whether or not Biden will remain on the ticket.
“Yes and that was settled a long long time ago,” Carney said. “And while I appreciate, I have great admiration for and respect for and a long relationship with John McCain but one place I would not go for advice on vice presidential running mates is to Senator McCain.”
Oh, oh, oh, you just KNOW there will be some flying canned goods in old Wasilla tonight!
That'll teach her to open her ignorant mouth.
What am I saying? This idiot does not have a learning curve, she has a bottomless pit of ignorance. I doubt she could learn that fire's hot if somebody poured gasoline all over her and set her ablaze.
You'd think that McCain would figure out that a VP pick is NOT something he should speak about. It really makes me wonder just how far his dementia has progressed.
ReplyDeleteMeghan, I'm not a big fan, but I respect that you have a strong voice. Can't you give your dad a clue?
Seriously I agree, although I don't believe he has a dementia problem, unless this was a slip on his part, someone must keep reminding him to avoid at all costs from making any comments about VP picks. I'm sure he knows this, but it might have been just too tempting politically for him not to say something. His career and reputation has already has been seriously damaged by picking someone so incompetent for VP as Palin, he can't afford to damage his reputation any further. If he was represented any state that was any less conservative than Arizona, he would probably be fighting to keep his Senate seat.
DeleteBaldy MADE McShame back her up on this Biden VP shit!
DeleteShe's got that video tape of her and the old man doing the nasty tucked in a REALLY SAFE place...and every time she needs McShame to defend her...she calls him up and says...
"I got your balls John and I ain't afraid to show em...now get out there and back up whatever I said"
*click*
Then you see McShame on FAKE News saying whatever Baldy tells him too...that's why Meghan hates Big Baldy and Little Baldy too!
Right...RAM! LMAO!!!
Sarah was being snarky about how her handlers from the McCain campaign talked about their discussions about replacing HER.McCain has been trying to pretend he made no mistake for years,so he had to play along.Unfortunately,dimwit reporters and Palin supporters did not get that she was being a smart ass.
DeleteGee thanks Gina, I have to go scrub my brain out with bleach now.
DeleteSarah is shooting barbs at RMoney and the GOP Establishment. They didn't bite her trolling for attention. I think she has outworn her welcome.
Deletemeghan recently tagged vp Biden as an idiot. I don't put much stock in what she says anymore. Anyone who can call the vp an idiot when their idiot father chose the biggest idiot to ever walk the earth as their running made has no credibility in my book. she likes the lime light as much as the palins and occasionally riles up the r's by standing up for some sort of tolerance but that's about it...until she comes forward and openly admits sarah palin is an effin' idiot and the biggest mistake her father ever made I'll choose to ignore meghan.
Deleteooohhh, that's gonna leave a mark!
ReplyDeletemcain needs to once and for all come out and say "i phucked up, she is an idiot and i phucked it up for all of us,,, i'm sorry."

When Gina makes such comments of course people speak to rumours posted here. Palin is not bald as Gina frequently posts either.
Deletejust partially or greatly thinning hair...
DeleteThis is a biggest slam from Obama administration ever against Sarah Palin.
ReplyDeleteand long over due.
I love the fact they never even said her name, but still slammed her.
DeleteAnd is to the point, defensive and not offensive, and swiftly and wittily says all the White House ever needs to say or think about Sarah Palin ever gain.
DeleteTranslation: she was a huge mistake, John McCain, we all know it, and no more needs ever to be said about the woman. We are above and beyond that nasty dog biting at our heels of '08. Isn't she on tv or something? WE've been too busy running the country to pay much attention to her for the past four years.
Ahhh, the Power of Understatement.
DeleteIt is like: "How do you torture a masochist?" "Do nothing to them."
DeleteBeing totally ignored must be driving Sara and company crazy.......
Thank you for this smile as I wait for my morning coffee to drip through....
"This is a biggest slam from Obama administration ever against Sarah Palin."
DeleteAnd don't forget "Pitbull is delicious." :-)
He must read IM because that's what we were saying when the old man and the sea hag made the ridiculous comments.
ReplyDeleteSo, basically, Sarah Palin is a punch line and John McCain is the joke.
Well, actually much the same comment was made all over the blogosphere, including hundreds at Huffpo.
Deletehahahahahahahaahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahaha.
ReplyDeleteIts funny 'cause Sarah always sets herself up to look doubly dumb.
Heheheheheheheh....hahahahahahahahaha...muahahahhahah...oh Baldy...you've done it again! Provided some much needed laughs for the White House!
ReplyDeleteThanks Man!

DeleteIt just keeps getting better and better. I am enjoying every moment of watching Palin go down!!!
ReplyDeleteI like how she spits and hisses as she melts. The clueless hateful harpy is being taken down and I love it.
DeleteYep. I almost start to feel sorry for her... then I remember what a nasty divisive bitch she is, the dead child from Tucson...how far she's brought down the level of political discourse in this country - and I realize that a life sentence in isolation in a max security prison for $carah still wouldn't be enough punishment for her sins.

Well, Obama would know. He is after all the political equivalent to Sarah Palin. His party used his race to win the election and make any anti-Obama folk (aka smart people) seem like racists. GOP used her gender. Other than those two things, both candidates were fully unqualified for their national offices.
ReplyDeleteNo way you were able to type that with a straight face.
DeleteNo way!
Yeah! Democratics are morans!!!. Take back Amercia!!!
Delete(eye roll)
This may be your most idiotic statement to date (and that's saying a whole helluva lot).
DeleteTo paraphrase your other immature rantings:
"false equivalence much?"
(we know you adore Sarah Palin no matter how often you pretend not to in order to take a shot at President Obama).
Well no wonder she is so pissed off at the President. She just wasn't woman enough. Oh,BTW, she never was and never will be.
Deleteah, 2:04pm, you certainly are a gem among gems! I'd have to reword your statement as thus: Obama's party was blind to his race, we looked towards his ideas and education and previous accomplishments when voting for him. We didn't really notice his race; polite people of higher intelligence have generally evolved beyond such trite observances. GOP, on the other hand did recognize Sarah's gender, but after realizing that she was an empty suit with no real accomplishments they recognized in her the "Pitbull" mentality and have been using her as an attack dog ever since, especially regarding Obama's race. She's been unchained a thousand times to give speeches full of hate and racism and released from her kennel to "excite the base", ie, stir up feelings of racism and its' associated hatred within the uneducated class of lower Republican base individuals. She's proven her worth a million times over as a hater, a divider and a shit-stirrer. She, however has never proven herself to be an educated, calculating politician that has America's best interest at heart. If anything, she is set loose to foment the next Civil War in America. She's a low IQ junkyard dog. To compare her to Obama is at best a fool's errand.
DeleteWell, let's see...
DeleteSarah Palin QUIT her one state-wide office half-way through her term, just as it was becoming apparent to all of us here in Alaska just how incompetent she was.
Barrack Obama has led our country well for four very tough years, and I never hear him using words like "haters" or "lame-stream media".
Dipstick--there IS no comparison between Barrack Obama and Sarah Palin. No similarities at all. That you apparently think so makes me very worried for you.

Delete(((applause)))
Please 2:04, this is getting tiresome. Now try to follow along, I'll keep it simple for you and the other "smart people". Sarah Palin did not run against Barak Obama. John McCain ran against Barak Obama. She was not the top of the ticket, she was picked by McCain to run at his side. Her only job, and she couldn't even manage that for what, 8 weeks?, was to support McCain's platform and back him up. Her job was not to "go rogue" and contradict him in public. I'm sure, if Joe Biden (or any other VP candidate in history) had a disagreement with his running mate, he would solve it behind closed doors, face to face, and not go off in front of reporters and cameras. (like Michigan)
DeleteThe proper person to even try to compare her with is Mr Biden (or other VP candidates) so please keep the comparisons a little more realistic, shall we? Dan Quayle perhaps?
Beldar? that you? Good satire, but briefer than ususal.
Delete2:37 I agree with you. The thing that I've just never gotten over is the fact that so many 'racist' things are indicated about President Obama (and when he was running for the office).
DeleteHe is half white and half black!! He's not all black!! Most 'white' Americans have black blood running through their veins if they were to go back through their ancestry.
Can you imagine if Limbaugh, Palin and Trump were to find out they are actually part negro? It makes me laugh just thinking about it!!!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
One thing they do not have in common is I'm pretty sure PRESIDENT Obama does not have a spouse who is a pimp,was a pimp,or used and recruited prostitutes.

DeleteYou remind me of a child who will do or say anything to get attention. I guess by saying something completely ignorant you get a bunch of responses about your willful ignorance but how satisfying is that?
I guess I should feel sorry for you that you must not get enough attention in your personal life and need to come here and get your share. But if you continue to repeat bullshit your hear from Fox and Wigatha, then you deserve to be laughed at and ridiculed here.
Wouldn't it be a better life if you opened your eyes and made your own decisions rather that get them from wingers who use you as a means to an end. Unless you are really, really rich, the right is not looking out for you and Wiggy only wants your money.
oH HI SARAH. Have you taken up your only hobby again now that you have so much time on your hands? Trolling blogs for enemies? Sarah have you and todd signed the release for information yet? Americans are waiting.
DeleteIf those guys want the president to get rid of Biden, it seems to me that's a sure reason why Biden stays.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely.
DeleteNPR replayed the rest of Biden's speech today - wow! what a takedown of Ryn and tying Rmoney into Ryan's already rejected (by the American public) budget policies.
DeleteI love the smell of irrelevance in the morning.... smells like Lake Lucille!
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteSarah you are the biggest political JOKE in the history of the USA. I think Mr Dan Quayle should send her a fruit bouquet to Mrs Palin and her squeaky pimp hubby.
What a great come back. And since Palin already filled every opportunity she has had to make as many negative comments about President Obama as she could, there is nothing more she can say to get revenge since it will just sound like her normal self. This has got to be very frustrating for her and making her feel as if she has no way of getting back anymore than she already has. At a time when she must know she is rapidly losing supporters and that her FOX contract may be in jeopardy, she must be feeling awfully low right now. I believe there are probably a lot of family members and advisors who are trying to avoid her right now.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone heard the Lunatic speak without mentioning Obama? I can't think of any. She keeps saying the same crap over and over and it just makes her look pathetic and jealous. I can't imagine Fox wasting anymore money on Wigatha. She's pretty much poison now.
DeletePalin is like those people who are forever stuck at a time when something horrible happened. They never mature beyond it. She has the mind of a backwards child to begin with, but she is reliving 2008, year after year after year. It is like she had a stroke while drunk...
DeleteI can't help it. I'm giggling.
ReplyDeleteThis idiot does not have a learning curve, she has a bottomless pit of ignorance. I doubt she could learn that fire's hot if somebody poured gasoline all over her and set her ablaze.
ReplyDeleteThat is about the funniest thing I've read in weeks!
Took one for the team today and listened to some idiot sitting in for the Drug Rush and that was the theme of the show. They want Obama to dump Biden and bring in Hillary just like the Loon form Lake Lucille suggested.(Apologies to real loons.)
ReplyDeleteI lasted an hour through the lies and idiocy. Soledad O'Brien and CNN are in the tank for Obama and John Sununu p'owned O'Brien the other morning.
Alrighty then.
They don't want Obama to replace Biden with Clinton- they just think that they are stopping that move by suggesting it. They think Obama can't crater to what would look like their idea and so will keep Biden.
DeleteI love Joe, so I'm happy with him staying put, where he belongs.
I love Joe too. It was a BFD to pass health care.
DeleteI just read that Meghan McCain has joined the chorus from the right calling for the removal of Biden from the Democratic ticket.
It's all a smokescreen to cover up their epic failure of a presidential and VP "presumptive" ticket.
A little something on Ed Henry, Fox SENIOR White House Correspondent who was the President of the White House Correspondents Committee, whereupon he sat at the Head Table on Stage at the Correspondents' Dinner with President and Mrs. Obama I believe last year:
ReplyDeletePond scum Ed Henry was very proud of himself yesterday while he was included in the media following President Obama on his campaign bus tour in Iowa.
This message and picture from Ed Henry's Twitter account:
Ed Henry @edhenryTV
Ruh-roh the caterer at the President's last event in Iowa -- The Village Corner Deli --clearly snuck thru the vetters
http://pic.twitter.com/VnRobDBF
Well isn't that strange. 21 hours ago I could view the pic. Not now. Ed Henry's account is private! Poor little baby got all upset and set his account to private on me. Little weak boy can toss it out but can't take it. Typical Bagger. He blocked me!!! So I can see it from my other twitter account!!
Here is a link to a different pic of the same guy and story at the Washington Post:

I can't even imagine what a caterer in Iowa might serve! Iowa, it brings to mind corn, corn on the cob, corn dogs, and well, all things corn! It must be difficult to get a good meal there in flyover country! I've been stuck in Iowa while traveling and I must say, there was not a thing to do, no theatre, no great restaurants, really nothing, except watching the corn grow....
Deletei grew up in iowa and lived there until age 40. it is under-rated by people from other places. the entire state is not rural. admittedly this time of year there is a lot of corn on the cob served and eaten. i'm not big on red meat but i WILL eat iowa grown pork in many forms. it's great. believe it or not, "normal" food is also served and eaten there. expand you horizons! LOL!
DeleteIOWA: Idiots Out Walking Around. (don't get all bent if you're from there...some of my family is, that's who told me that one)
Deleteold joke....
I lived in Iowa for almost 20 years and never heard that one. I love it. Yes the corn is great, but the pork is better. There are nice theatres in Iowa City and DesMoines and good restaurants in both, plus the Quad Cities. You just need to look farther around.
DeleteSorry, the word just starts my head a singing (was it Captain Kangaroo?)..."this I know all I owe I owe Ioway..."
DeleteThe best thing about this slam?? Jay Carney doesn't even mention her name. Rarely does the name Sarah Palin get mentioned by the White House yet everyone knows the slam was directed at her as well as McCain. Both SP and McCain made the same comment but they only address him, while still slamming her. Perfect!

DeleteAnon 4:03
DeleteReading the Huff article, it appears he's one and the same. He also has some same characteristics as Palin -- hiring "friends'.
"Mandel's new accent drew an attack from the state Democratic Party, which tied the affect to previous reports of Mandel hiring friends and political allies for jobs in the treasurer's office, along with reports that he missed 14 months of state Board of Deposit meetings, which he chairs."
"...one place I would not go for advice on vice presidential running mates is to Senator McCain..."
ReplyDeleteMay we pause here for just a moment to admire the skill of the snark in this simple phrase. It takes down Sarah Palin, the McCain campaign and every sucker in the GOP that praised Sarah Palin. All without giving the bleating little sociopath even the pleasure of hearing her name.
Ah, yes, that felt good.
Romney's idiot burble about 13% in tax forms he won't reveal needs more than snark though. Romney upped the ante from "I won't reveal" to "I can say anything I want about what's in what I won't reveal". It's gone from annoying to an insult to our intelligence.
Faith=13% ; Facts=0

DeleteThat was the 'greatest' take down of John McCain and Sarah Palin by Jay Carney and he didn't even mention Palin's name!!! His statement made me hoot and holler!!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the fact that nationally negative things are FINALLY openly being stated about the idiot Sarah Palin from Wasilla, AK. And, best of all is the fact she'll not even be included 'in the building' at the Republican convention. That was the biggest putdown!!
I know I would no way in hell want her place in the history books. She has been an embarrassment to America, women, her family and the State of Alaska!

And then little miss Sarah Palin brings it up like it's her brilliant idea for how Obama can win and John McCain, the ultimate expert on disastrous VP picks, plays back up to annoyingly distract the media from Romney/Ryan.
Well, there's no question that Sarah will love finally getting some attention from the White House and will wallow in Carney's pitch perfect putdown. To her sick mind this is some kind of a success.

DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteAnytime I try to wrap my mind around the fact McCain chose her for his VP my mind simply shuts down. No way is this person capable of critical thought. She is unable to think even one move ahead even if it bit her ass. She is profoundly challenged. Nobody in her shoes would ever reference the VP race. She is absolutely without self reflection, gravitas or intelligence. She is just raw bar chew and a mall walker. I am convinced Fox keeps her up there for the entertainment factor. And, that is quickly fading.

ReplyDeleteSarah is very knowledgeable. She had the Wasilla hockey built on time and under budget. She hired qualified state workers as governor. She completed her term as governor. Very fair and honorable to everybody. A servant to the people.
So I don't get it. Why do you people mistreat her?

Nothing says "competence" like building a municipal complex on land the city doesn't own! (So maverick!) And leaving your tiny town with $20 million in new debt.
Ah, how I love the fetid stench of Conservative "fiscal responsibility."
Totally! She didn't QUIT, she did such a good job she just finished up early!
DeletePfft!
DeleteShe's a Hoohah!
4:42 You obviously have no direct knowledge of Palin in Alaska.
DeleteShe did NOT complete her term as governor - she QUIT mid-way through. She left Wasilla very much in debt when she played Mayor. She stole from the hockey construction and had her first house built with some of those items. She is not honorable - the Alaska Legislature found her unethical even though she denied it while on the campaign trail w/McCain.
She's mistreated so many folks and her family members throughout her life and continued doing so since being brought on the national stage.
She is really getting her due now and it's coming at her from every direction (on the national level and from Alaska!). She deserves it!! She has been a horrible embarrassment to Alaskans, women and now the Republican party doesn't even want her.
She's a liar and fraud from the top of her wigged head down to her dirty feet!

That is a subtle yet caustic, intellectual response. More powerful and hurtful than simple name-calling.
Aaron Sorkin could have written that.
McCain better be careful or he'll find himself politically irrelevant like his VP pick. Someone will need to clue him in as I doubt he watches The Daily Show.
Did they mention where the speech was being done? Would be interesting to see how far down she has dropped in 'speechafying'!!
DeleteThat was an absolutely good smackdown. And, they in the White House know the best way to wee-wee up Sarah is to never mention her name. She demands they give her the attention she feels she deserves - and they will not. Good for them.

ReplyDeleteThe White House Silences McCain’s Dump Biden Babble With Two Words: Sarah Palin
ReplyDeleteTo paraphrase Jay Carney, if we ever want advice on how to nominate the worst running mate in history, we’ll give you a call. It takes some serious nerve to unleash the Sarah Palin on the world, and then call for the dismissal of the guy who beat her.
In all fairness the Romney vetting process of Paul Ryan is showing signs of being able to give McCain a run for his money in terms of ineptitude, but until Ryan hits the lowest valley of failure, then drops another level, we can’t take Sarah Palin’s one remaining crown away from her.
What McCain was trying to do was push Romney’s already dead “in chains” controversy. The Romney/Ryan campaign itself killed any chance of that taking off with an awesome one-two punch of incompetence highlighted by Romney reviving the issue of his tax returns, and Ryan claiming he didn’t, but then later having to admit that he did request millions of dollars in stimulus money.
John McCain woke up this morning and was under the impression that he was going to be part of big GOP team effort to create controversy around Biden. Instead, he found himself alone on an island getting smacked around by the White House, while Romney sabotaged his own efforts to get elected.
When America needs bad advice, whether it be on the economy, foreign policy or running mates, we can always count on John McCain show us exactly what not to do.

Beer Battered Mitt: How Obama is Using Beer to Defeat Romney
ReplyDeleteHave noticed how often President Obama is mentioning beer on the campaign trail? This is no accident. In fact, it is a calculated political strategy.
Even in the White House, Barack Obama has still been a bit of regular guy. Well, as regular as a guy can be while being President of the United States. Obama loves his family, likes sports, shoots hoops and has an image in many ways of being the prototypical guy, who just happens to also be the most powerful man in the world.
This personal likability has kept the president afloat even during his toughest professional times. No matter what has been going on in the country, majorities of Americans have always personally liked Obama. Mitt Romney, who Americans have never warmed up to, has been trying to chip away at the president’s likability with constant claims that Obama is a liar who is diminishing the office of the presidency with his reelection campaign.
The Obama folks have found an interesting way to negate Romney’s attacks before they ever get started. On the campaign trail, President Obama has not been shy about displaying his taste for an ice cold brew.
The thing about Obama and beer is that it is genuine. Remember the Henry Louis Gates incident, and the Beer Summit at the White House in 2009? This is not new, but the president is using a sudsy strategy to define and defeat Mitt Romney.
If there is one thing Mitt Romney is not, it is a regular guy. Romney appears to be campaigning on the fact that he is not a normal guy. The Republican nominee has embraced his status as the defender of the super rich and claims that anyone who doesn’t like him is jealous of his money.
It is also safe to say that because of his Mormon faith you’ll never see Romney hanging out and drinking a beer. The Obama campaign has taken Romney’s faith off of the table, but the sight of Obama drinking a beer is a visual reminder that Mitt Romney isn’t like most Americans. No matter what the reason, Mitt Romney doesn’t come off like an everyday guy who understands your problems.
The age old question of presidential candidates that voters have been asked for decades is would you like to have a beer with this candidate? In 2012, it isn’t even close. When voters were asked last month which candidate they found more likable, Obama led Romney, 63%-27%. Voters like Obama, and they don’t like Romney.

That is the four-point plan on "the economy" on which Willard Romney apparently intends to run for president for a while. For the past week or so, beginning shortly after committing himself fully to zombie-eyed granny-starving while a baffled nation went, "whaaaaa?" in 300-million-part harmony, Romney has become more and more convinced that he is being treated shabbily by the political process and that, at the heart of this untoward disrespect from The Help, is that... person who currently has the job for which Willard has applied. He is simply not going to stand for this sort of thing anymore, and he is going to informthat... person that there are things that simply... are... not... done. And he is sure that the genuine folks among The Help — the ones that know their place, and that know what people like Willard Romney have done for them, and who are properly grateful for it — will rise to support him.
"If you look at the ads that have been described and the divisiveness based on income, age, ethnicity and so-forth, it's designed to bring a sense of enmity and jealousy and anger and this is not in my view what the American people want to see," Romney said.
Ethnicity?
And so forth.
Ethnicity?
And so forth.
If he blows that dog-whistle any louder, Seamus may return from that great roof-rack in the sky.
This should surprise absolutely nobody, because, if there's one thing candidate Romney has demonstrated, it is that he really is quite a remarkable liar. Romney's ran the basic bread-and-butter Republican playbook all throughout the primaries and he's still running it this summer. The meretricious use of the president's "You didn't build it" line. The truthless welfare baiting on the commercials. Sooner or later, he was going to get around to this particular line of bullshit because it's the obvious next step. Asking a Republican presidential candidate to abandon race-baiting entirely is to ask for an awful lot of 13-second Republican stump speeches. Asking Willard Romney to do it is to assume that there is muck so foul that he will not immerse himself in it to be president. Unless Curiosity finds mud on Mars, you're pretty much out of luck there.
(And not for nothing, but this is pretty much the way things worked when he was governor, too. He spent a lot of time wondering why he couldn't just fire the state legislature and outsource the courts to Indonesia.)
There was nothing Romney wouldn't do in business to make a buck. Why should we be surprised that he campaigns the same way? The real difference, of course, is that the president and his campaign are not luckless steelworkers or paper-company employees, anonymous to the people who keep the Bain ledgers and powerless to the people in the lovely house by the Pacific shores. They can hit back. Hard. And they don't feel obligated to ask his permission to do so.
"The president's campaign has put out a campaign that's talking about me and attacking me. I think it's just demeaning to the nature of the process, particularly when we face the kinds of challenges we face."
And it's his process, dammit. He can show you the receipt.
Since you can count on Rafalca's hooves the number of times in his life that Willard Romney has been in a fair fight, it's no great shock to discover that, since he can't fight hard, he'll fight dirty, because winning is not something you earn. Winning is something you inherit.

I wonder if Queen Esther has to be put to bed like Michael Jackson did or Elvis did. We saw how well THAT turned out.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, she thinks she equated with that super stardom when, in reality, she's Anna Nicole.
I was thinking of changing my blog name to "Anna Nicole Palin", but felt it was disrespectful of the dead. At least Anna Nicole didn't pretend to be anything other than she truly was.
DeleteAsking McCain for VP advice is like asking Sarah Palin for parenting advice.
ReplyDeleteSo true. In Bristols' recent and not lamented reality show, it was clear that most of the content could be used as the "how not to parent" examples in a parenting class.
DeleteWhenever a Republican mentions anything about a Democratic vice-president, either current or from the past, all any progressive has to do is point to the crazy-clown loser from Wasilla and the conservative has no leg to stand on.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that McCain says his 2 cents worth as an attack puppy regarding Biden, but remains ever so silent to substantiate the hot potato of RMoney's tax returns.
ReplyDeleteO/T Remember when $arah was wearing the wraparound sunglasses all the time.The kind you couldn't even see in from the side.I think she had her wonky eye fixed.I noticed when she was doing her banshee imitation on Faux news it wasn't wobbling all over. Usually the more she got riled up the more the eye bobbled around. It's not doing it now.Almost kinda sad that she had all the work done and isn't invited to speak.
ReplyDeleteIt is so obvious that the Republicans cannot stomach how Joe Biden speaks the truth about what the GOP has been about in Congress since January 2009. I love both President Obama and Vice President Biden. They have been a perfect team and it is clear that they get along so well. Isn't it great to have a vice president who does not remind us all of Darth Vader?
