Sometimes, even hard-core Democrats can learn from their Republican

Ah...OK, so that's 'tripper counted as firm in the "Tom DeLay is one of

"Yes, I do believe that..."

All Joe Biden
And how can we forget:
"When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the
television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of
greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened,'"
We can forget it. It sounds like an honest mistake, and he isn't
commenting upon current context. Biden wasn't even born when the market
crashed, so it isn't "misremembering" and Roosevelt is the POTUS
commonly associated with the Depression. Granted, if Bush had said it,
all hell would have broken loose, but whoever said it, some 80 years
later, when used as an example, however imperfect/incorrect, and in
context, who the **** cares?
Right. Obama's not ready for the prez and Biden sure as hell ain't
ready for the veep.
Biden and McCain appear significantly more ready to be Prez than Obama.
Obama is a wildcard, and anyone who claims to know precisely how he'll
do is wrong. He might be a great one, he might suck, and about all that
can be done is to go on the evidence. The evidence says, right along
with Biden, he ain't ready to be POTUS. Same thing with Palin.
