Sorry if this has already been posted. I used the search function, but couldn't find another thread on the same topic...

My husband and I were watching McCain on "Meet the Press" Sunday afternoon, when we both heard McCain accidentally refer to Joe Biden as "Joe the Biden." We both looked at each other and laughed, "Did he really just say that?!"

I know that since then, McCain has jokingly said the same phrase at a rally or two, but I don't believe that he meant to say it on "Meet the Press." I think he's just gotten so used to repeating, "Joe the Plumber...Joe the Plumber...Joe the Plumber...Joe the Plumber...Joe the Plumber...Joe the Plumber...Joe the Plumber," ad nauseum, that he's subconsciously begun integrating it into his normal everyday speech. Ha.

"Joe the Biden" slip happens at 12:09 time stamp in the video:

I think he meant to say Joe The Bonehead in regards to Joe Biden, it just came out wrong.

I don't think it was accidental. I've heard both of them use the play on words in different ways often. Palin calls Obama, Barack the Wealth-Spreader.

Obama should call her "Sarah the dumbass".It would be MUCH closer to the truth.

It was the Obomination's own words that he wants to "spread the wealth" and he didn't have much good to say about our Constitution either. Makes one wonder how he could seriously take the oath of office to uphold and defend it...

Are you talking about the same Constitution that Alaska would be condemning had the AIP (Palin's hubbie was a member and it was supported by Palin) had they seceded? Are you talking about the same Constitution that while it is the basis of our founding government is antiquated in ways that could be hurting our country? Are you talking about the same Constitution that has the ability to be amended to the greater good?

Hold on tightly to your neoCON (also see:) rhetoric as a valued piece of history, because in a few short days that's all it's gonna be.History.

Except Obama has too much class to lower himself to name calling.

Multiple red herrings but I'll nibble a bit...the AIP is quite correct that the federal government acted illegally in the 1950's and to the present in Alaska. They don't like the federal government as it's become, which doesn't follow the Constitution anyways. Give up on the worn out "Palin supported AIP" nonsense, it's been debunked. The Constitution is not antiquated, in what ways do you consider it as such?

He just does as other fascists have always done, hire minions to do his dirty work, so if it becomes a public relations nightmare he can cut himself off from them. Just as Machiavelli suggested.
