Senator Biden is not intelligent. And Mormonism.

[_TAK]

In one regard, while Biden did not get far in the primaries and deservedly so... I doubt Palin would have either and would not have lasted past New Hampshire.

- And yet these are the No.Two spots for both major parties..
F*k’d up..

Classy VP alert:

Biden Said That The University Of Delaware Football Team Would "Kick Ohio State's Ass."

"'I was out in Ohio,' he said, clutching a football. 'I told the folks in Ohio that we'd kick Ohio State's ass!'" (Jake Tapper and Matt Jaffe, "Oh, That Joe! (No. 13 In A Series) - Kicking Ohio State's A**,"ABC's "Political Punch" Blog, 9/19/08)

LIAR ALERT!

In His Speech To The National Guard Association Today, Biden Implied That While Traveling In Afghanistan The Helicopter He Was In Was "Forced Down" By Enemy Fire.

"The prepared remarks go on to list McCain's other failures in the region, from Iran to Afghanistan - each concluding with the phrase 'Barack was right' -- a phrase Biden never once said in the speech. 'You want to know where bin Laden is, come back to Afghanistan with me. Come back to the area where my helicopter was forced down with a three star general and three senators at 10,500 feet in the middle of those mountains. I can tell you where they are,' he says." (Aaron Burns, "Biden Won't Stick To The Script," Fox News, 9/22/08)

Previously At A September 2008 Fundraiser, Biden Described A "Superhighway Of Terror Between Pakistan And Afghanistan Where My Helicopter Was Forced Down."

"Democratic vice-presidential nominee Joe Biden assured a crowd of donors in Lincoln Park Tuesday night that he would handle himself just fine in his debate with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. ... He'll ask her about 'The superhighway of terror between Pakistan and Afghanistan where my helicopter was forced down...'" (Abdon M. Pallasch, "Biden Isn't Afraid Of Palin," Chicago Sun-Times, 9/10/08)

What an asshole.

Another whammy of whammys is the fact that Biden said Obama was not ready to be President. This was during the debates last year. This isn't really a gaffe because he didn't know he was going to be VP, but it does go to show how dishonest he can be. Last year Obama wasn't ready, but now that he's the VP pick, suddenly Obama becomes qualified over night.

[_Scottie]

Yeah, no stretch there, huh?? Pretty much only Mormons and Democrats lie or exaggerate/make up stories.

Well, you have to admit that bit about running around with the golden plates, jumping over logs, and fending off attackers sounds... Biden-esque. ;)

Okay, yeah, I'll admit that! :)

I think that's a relevant point. Neither one could win their party's nomination. No way.

Ha! See? Common ground is possible. :D

[_Some Schmo]

Yeah, there's no doubt Biden's said some dumb stuff, but here's the thing... you've got years and years of material to draw from when compiling a list of his mistakes. With Palin, we've got about a month's worth, which actually translates to perhaps a week's worth, given how few interviews she's granted. And there's already a ton of material.

If it's a choice between dumb and dumber, dumb has to win.

Good point. What if Governor Palin had said that? I'm sure it would be in some people's sig lines. For sure.

Schmo doesn't seem to realize that most of the damning evidence against Biden is just as recent as the Palin commentary. So the silly "He's been in office longer" argument doesn't work.

Also, Palin has never said anything as historically inaccurate as Biden has about the depression, nor has she blatantly lied about something as Biden has, nor has she committed the crime of plagiarism, as has Biden. Nor has Palin gone against McCain's policy and said "We're not going to support X" when in fact that is what McCain supports. She's never screwed the pooch the way Biden has. All the libs can come up with is nonsense and sentence diagrams.

All of the accusations againt Palin for lying, are based largely on biased psychoanalyses, but with Biden, these are not moot points. The conclusion that he is a typical politician who will lie when it serves his ambitions, is indisputable.

Again, "Obama is not ready to be President" he said. Now he says he is. Why? Because he's on the ticket. Case closed.

Well, it should be, but as Maher said, America is full of dumb people who don't care about the facts.

- He's confused Army brigades with battalions.

Oh no! That's just terrible. No patriotic American could possibly be qualified to lead who does not, on the spot, know the difference between a brigade and a battalion.

Wait, does he know the difference between a company and a troop? Or a battery? Can he name the last General of the Army? Can he describe the rank insignia of a Command Sergeant Major? Let's see, can he explain the difference between a Major General in the US Army and a Major General in the German Army?

I know he's made his gaffes, but the one about brigades and battalions is pretty funny. I doubt 95% of Americans could explain that difference.

I agree with the Dudester on this issue of gaffes. They're good for a partisan chuckle, but not much else. If gaffes really meant something Bush should have been impeached for his gaffes years ago.

ps: for those who don't know, brigades are typically composed of several battalions, and brigades themselves are grouped to form divisions, though depending on the branch of service, and what country we're talking about, military organization can vary substantially.
