Obama-Biden
Betsy's Page — ... I'm on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where I serve with a number of Senators who are widely regarded as leading experts on foreign policy -- and I can tell you that I know as much about foreign policy at this point as most of them.

Overlawyered — Clarence Thomas’s book, detailing Biden’s “smooth, insincere promises” (read: lies to his face) in the confirmation hearings is now more than ever a must-read. Carter Wood has a good record of Biden’s votes in recent years. And somebody should be making a YouTube compilation of these quotes, since we can’t count on the Daily Show to do it.

POLITICS: Biden in Plain Sight
Baseball Crank — ... 1. Gaffe-Tastic! The initial gut reaction of essentially every Republican I know was giddiness. Biden's the most gaffe-prone politician I have ever seen, and if you think about the competition that is a truly impressive accolade.
