Rush Launches New Operation: “S.O.B.”
Nice Deb — ... all weekend about how to proceed with this info. Generally, the feeling is that we should all go ahead and get it out there to as many blog sites and personal email lists as is possible.  I have already seen a few short blurbs about this - the ‘health problem’ cited in those articles was aneurysm.  Probably many of you have heard the same rumblings.” The Maharushie is clearly concerned, hence the need for a new operation to prevent “The Gaffemaster” from being thrown under the bus. Stay tuned…I will ...

Does Joe Biden want off the ticket?
Pundit Review — ... .:)? A nice overview from Newsweek , Biden Turns on the Gaffe Machine In the past few days–just as Palinsanity has begun to die down–Biden has made a series of strange public statements that suggest he’s either at odds with Obama on key policy issues or that he isn’t aware of what Obama believes. Individually, they’ve served to cloud Obama’s message on matters of substance; taking together, they suggest that someone in Chicago should give the guy a good talking to. If he or she can get a word in edgewise, that is. He don’t know much about history He (Biden) was speaking about ...

Biden a distraction?
USS NeverdockNewsweek says Biden is a distraction the country can't afford. "But what happens if Obama and Biden are elected? Having a vice president who's eager to hold forth on any subject--even when what he's saying bears no relation to administration policy--could get pretty complicated. Distracting a campaign is one thing. Distracting a president, a political party and, by extension, the country? Awkward doesn't quite cover it ." So what does this say about Obama's judgement? Labels: ...

VP Debate Preview: Will Biden Gaffe? Will Palin Be Set Free?
Pajamas Media — ... she needs to use the platform of the debate to tie the Obama-Biden ticket to their Congressional colleagues and, in turn, to the debacle of Congressional mismanagement and malfeasance. Fourth, she can talk with authority on energy policy. Why do the Democrats oppose domestic drilling and why aren’t we developing resources at home rather than importing oil, which for the foreseeable future will be a vital part of our energy supply? And yes, it is probably a good idea to bring up that clean coal gaffe. And, finally, on a stylistic level Palin needs to get into the weeds and show ...

One More Reason To Fear the Stimulus Package: Joe Biden, Computer Illiterate and Gaffemeister Extraordinaire, Is In Charge of It All
Hit & Run — ... The idea of Joe Biden—the feller who created the position of the drug czar; plagiarized from Robert Kennedy and British pol Neil Kinnock; called Barack Obama "clean" and "articulate" the day he announced he (Biden) was running for president; voted in favor of both Gulf Wars; and more and more—being in charge of anything other than a card game on the Acela club car is pretty disturbing. To have overseeing the implementation of nearly $800 billion in government loot boggles the mind. It's like Jimmy Stewart turning over his bank's money to Uncle ...
