And your opinion is that this one piece posted about Biden being a DA is ridiculous yet the multiple threads posted daily about Palin are fine?

And that has what to do with the oh so many threads about Palin from other "news" sources? Surely you're not saying you havent seen those slam pieces posted here.

Lets just call it what it is...hypocrisy.

Wow very impressive...what Cnn has to broadcast as news....
I don't always defend CNN either. Both run frivolous stories. But what FOX did with this "story" is simply to list every gaffe a man has ever made. And that is news, how?

What do the threads on CD blasting Palin have to do with national news?? Because you read some outrageous and completely partisan comments from some people on an internet forum, you somehow think it excuses that level of journalism on the national news????

Considering that Biden portrays himself as honest and forthright, ready to run the country, this story actually does have a news factor. If a republican made this many mistakes, you would be screaming for impeachment.

So Joe made a few gaffes....like a friend said to me,

" Biden is so passionate and talks so much he's bound to say something stupid sometime....but George Bush hardly said anything and it was all stupid."





Biden still didn't do too bad:



When Biden did take office on January 3, 1973, at age 30 (the minimum age to become a U.S. Senator), he became the sixth-youngest senator in U.S. history.[41] In 1974, freshman Senator Biden was named one of the 200 Faces for the Future by Time magazine.[42]
Biden was subsequently elected to six additional terms, in the elections of 1978, 1984, 1990, 1996, 2002, and 2008, usually getting about 60 percent of the vote.[43] He did not face strong opposition; Governor Pierre S. du Pont, IV chose not to run against him in 1984.[44] Biden spent 28 years as a junior senator due to the two-year seniority of his Republican colleague William V. Roth. After Roth was defeated for re-election by Thomas R. Carper in 2000, Biden became Delaware's senior senator. He then became the longest-serving senator in Delaware history.[45] In May 1999, Biden set the mark for youngest senator to cast 10,000 votes.[46]
In February 1988, after suffering from several episodes of increasingly severe neck pain, Biden was taken by long-distance ambulance to Walter Reed Army Medical Center and given lifesaving surgery to correct an intracranial berry aneurysm that had begun leaking;[47][48] the situation was serious enough that a priest had administered last rites at the hospital.[49] While recuperating, he suffered a pulmonary embolism, which represented a major complication.[48] Another operation to repair a second aneurysm, which had caused no symptoms but was also at risk from bursting, was performed in May 1988.[50][48] The hospitalization and recovery kept Biden from his duties in the U.S. Senate for seven months.[34] Biden has had no recurrences or effects from the aneurysms since then.[48]
Biden served on the following committees in the 110th U.S. Congress:[51]Biden was co-chair of the NATO Observer Group in the Senate.[52]

As a bumbling barroom drunk, Bidne is a lovable old fool. As VP, he is dangerous and scary.
I'm sure Dumbo is embarrassed on a daily basis, but he needed ol' Joe to sell his years of experience.
The good news for Dumbo is, he is failing so badly it's not easy to notice Biden...
We have a real collectiuon of losers destroying our country.
