Seriously, Obama made an excellent choice. A total boob but he really lightens up the room doesn't he?

*face palm*

I thought they locked biden in his room and threw away the key. I figured since i havent heard of him since the inaugeration?
He must has eaten his way out.

It was a poorly placed comment, entirely accurate but poorly placed. Hardly equates to the total deepfreeze we witnessed with the last lot though, now was it...

To be fair, both Obama and McCain decided that saying 'Bringing China to heel' was a clever thing when said country had it's Cheque book out to lend the US (and indeed the West in general) a crapload of money after the Banks turned us into Pillowbiters.

Garret you've got to know you can't keep a good man down.

Oh Biden, you card you.

He is seriously that Uncle everybody has, that drinks too much at a Holiday party and says that uncomfortable thing about your sister, or your mom. You give that akward laugh then get away as soon as you can.

He and I have so much in common.

Especially when he seems to be a Duracell powered, smiling, snow-haired talk-bot that is afflicted with political-turrets.

Fixed it for you. I had a mental image of little TL turrets that pop out of his shoulders and shoot down reporters who ask too many questions.

In Biden's case both are applicable Barlio.

*pew pew pew*

lol take that Fox News reporter.

I'm serial you guys, *glug, glug*

Chuck, stand up, let the people see you," Biden shouted.

So, how is Biden different than Cheney?

Cranky - check
Likely to say inappropriate things - check
Old, guiding hand to inexperienced pres - check

Well, okay, Biden hasn't shot anyone in the face - that we know of - but that happened after Cheney was VP, so Biden's got at least 3 more years to do that.

Biden doesn't eat children or suck the warmth from the sunlight or cause milk to sour and trees to wither and die.

Biden also doesn't go to Afghanistan to track down Bin Laden or know 10 ways to kill you (I've heard that Biden only knows 5 ways, but that might just be Republican propaganda, he probably knows at least 7).

Cheney: Dark Lord of the Abyss

Biden: TFG

Also you can see biden house on google earth.
also on of them is not an eternal vampire bent on ruining the world.

By that logic I'll still go have a beer with Cheney.

Biden's slogan ought to be "Cheney-Light: More Acohol, Less Taste"

Nor did he kill Samuel L. Jackson by hitting him with lightning and tossing him out a window. MANY differences from Cheney.

I'm thinking Cheney don't do beer (whiskey and water I'm betting). Biden? I think one of us would end up calling the other an hole.

Or 'Zero Cheney...Because I'm not a C**t'

I saw a speech by Biden on the war in Iraq and I was very impressed with him, he seemed a level headed statesman and a rare man of principals. Cheney and that other Nixon spawned nightmare, Rumsfeld, on the other hand, are a source of evil in the world and should be purged, i want them both chased across the cosmos by a giant Hello Kitty battletitan.

Of course Cheney didn't insult all of Russia the other day, but I respect our new Hello Kitty battletitan overlords and promise to carry the pink banner of Hello Kitty Awesomeness across the galaxy.

Do you really think biden wrote that?
presidents never write there own speeches.
and when they do they end up telling a guy in a whellchair to stand up.

He still said it.

garret wrote:presidents never write there own speeches.

Of course, but they do make their own comments. Sometimes they go off script as well. Every President has done this. Obama's "cops acted stupidly" wasn't a scripted moment. Not picking on Obama, just grabbing a recent instance.

and Bush's peace treaty negotiation with the fish... that was written for him, by the rabid imp dwelling where other people have a brain.
