Can you define what you mean by "us"? Are you and your kind different?

I always thought Ed McMahon was stupid.

But then, his job was to emphasize Johnny Carson's wit, which was tough to do since there was seldom any material upon which there was wit.

So, for the banality crowd, well-timed guffaws worked out pretty well.

Maybe Biden serves the same purpose . . Heeeeeeeeeeer's Bama!

I see a striking resemblance.

us... as in you and me and the American public. He doesn't talk down to us. He doesn't sugar coat. He doesn't try to tell us everything's great as we watch pictures of people drowning and dying.

You will disagree, but he doesn't.

My grand daughter did at 5..She could even type them in until I showed her how to save them..Maybe you just need to work with your little ones more...

Nothing personal - but he was a man of his times.

I was always waiting for some substance, and was always disappointed.

His controllers were very strict.

Orders were: DON'T OFFEND ANYONE.

You should try to match ol' Ed's bank account and all he had to do was say "You are correct suh" and the other line you mentioned....I hate kissass folks,but for the money Ed made you could buy cases upon cases of Carmex and mouth wash and lay on the beach in Cancun staring at the rearends of the "meskin" girls and laughing ....Biden's the same way,he ain't under any stress.

Exactly!!! And that is precisely the point here! Obama ceremoniously put Biden in charge of overseeing the stimulus money, saying "no one messes with Joe," and then Biden goes on TV unprepared for that interview and, seemingly for his new job as Stimulus Nazi. I mean, if he can't even remember a simple website address, how can we be confident that he's going to do a good job of oversight?
