Look, we think Joe Biden is kind of funny, too. But, uh, come the fuck on, AP and CNN and everybody, do you really want this? Biden, he is smart, he knows some things, he would be great on a New Yorker podcast or whatever, but …. Eh, time for bed, finally. When Obama rings in the morning, at 4 a.m., with bad news, we are just going to treat it like any other TXT from some money-wanting no-can-having drunk. Meanwhile, we think of Bill Richardson, we even think of Old Jack Reed the father we never found, we think of Neal Cassady. [CNN/Valleywag/NYT]

Every time I look at Biden, I swear that remember him from an episode of “Law and Order.” Hopefully, this makes bitters like Barry a little bit better.
Why all the Richardson fervor? Did he touch you in your special place too?
I’m ready for Biden/Mittens. Make him soil dem magic underpants, Joe!
[re=67431]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: …that being said SerolfDivad get to work on the photoshop of him chopping of Hillz/Bayh and or Kaines heads!
Well that was anticlimactic. I’d already gotten emails from volunteers working with the campaign a few days ago asking people to buy up merch from the Obama store before they start producing Obama/Biden stuff this past Thursday (08-21.) I guess they weren’t kidding.
HEEEEERE WE GO AGAIN!
*studio audience laughter*
*freezeframe, fade to closing credits*
Quite the drama, Obama.
Veep and the world veeps with you. Text, and you text alone.
[re=67432]RaptorAvatar[/re]: …hopefully you aren’t referring to Law & Order SVU?!
I’ll always think of Biden’s hair plugs when I see him, as they were the talk/laugh of everyone on the Hill back in the early 90s when he had them ‘installed’.
Delaware patrician (as if that’s not a hard enough idea for people to wrap their heads around) — plagiarist — condescender — effete intellectual — uh — what exactly does he have going for him?
[re=67443]SayItWithWookies[/re]: All that, and possibly a sense of humor.

[re=67443]SayItWithWookies[/re]: …well he isn’t afraid to drop an F-bomb and will call you out if you if you aren’t clean or articulate!
It’s a great day to be in teeth-whitening…
[re=67443]SayItWithWookies[/re]: He doesn’t shoot lawyers and knows how to plagiarize “potato.”
[re=67443]SayItWithWookies[/re]: He’s not an effete intellectual. He went to Syracuse Law School and graduated at the back of his class, for Chrissakes. AT SYRACUSE.
He has working class appeal in the way that Barack Obama doesn’t and John Kerry didn’t and everyone thought John Edwards did but didn’t even before he got $400 haircuts. He’s just a relatable guy. He’s certainly going to be much easier for Americans to identify with than Mitt Romney and John McCain. He’s a hack, but he’s a lovable hack. And he knows his shit.
[re=67451]Darehead[/re]: [re=67447]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Biden for State — that’s fine. As a campaigner though, he sucks. He’s run every four years since about Truman and has always come in right behind Mickey Mouse. Yeah, he can rock Delaware. But that’s a state you can walk across in a day.
[re=67443]SayItWithWookies[/re]: It’s all about the Bitters. They fell in love with him when he was a young and sexy 30 year old senator and they all still fall for his wide angle smile. He’s like the David Cassidy of senators.
I, for one, want to welcome our new Delaware Overlord.
Given the shit Obama has gotten for Ayers, can you imagine what he would give if he nominated the corpse of Neal Cassady. How ’bout Saun Cassidy as a compromise?
I like Biden, although I was hoping for Chet Edwards.
Oh, and the plagiarism thing was really pretty pathetically minor. It’s exactly like the Deval Patrick thing, only it was amplified like crazy. I notice Joe Biden’s wikipedia page has mysteriously updated with all of the details of this, so you can check it out yourself.
And his son is serving in Iraq.
[re=67451]Darehead[/re]: …AND!! To plagiarize my own observation from the previous thread, David “I coulda SWORN I took my meds” Brooks LOVES him! (Though of course not so much as to diminish his Walnuts-inspired erection):
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/22/opinion/22brooks.html?em
If he wants a loudmouthed kinda-racist gaffe machine with Pennsylvanian roots why doesn’t he just pick Chris Matthews, huh?????
[re=67453]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Wait, didn’t he only run in 1988 and 2008?
Wow, I just got the text message. So it’s legit.
It’s official, and I for one, am pissed about my lack of text message.
Ooh ooh ooh what’s the text say?
biden? really? yawn. what a waste of a text message.
WTF? Did Barry seriously just send the text at 3am EST??
[re=67467]itgetter[/re]: And also, if he was gonna do it at 3am, why not do it at midnight when all the major news organizations were already calling it? Also, bitch, bitch, grumble, etc…
The text just says “Barack has chosen Senator Joe Biden to be our VP nominee. Watch the first Obama-Biden rally live at 3pm ET on http://www.BarackObama.com. Spread the word!”
I can’t believe Obama sent me a text at 3 a.m. Take that, Hillary! He CAN use the phone late at night!
[re=67468]itgetter[/re]: [re=67468]itgetter[/re]: I think he was going to do it tomorrow, but since it leaked, he didn’t want people to wake up already knowing who the veep was before he texted them. Most people are probably not up and on the computer at this time of night, so they WILL find it out through the text.
[re=67460]eatsshootsleaves[/re]: He seems to run every four years. And if you’re gonna call me on him running since Truman, I think it was actually since Van Buren. That, and he shot James Garfield. I’ll send out a correction when I’m sober. Which, at this point, is looking to be around January of 2013.
I dunno … something seems fishy about this. It feels eerily similar to Kerry picks Gephardt. I actually like biden. Even when he’s wrong, he’s smart, and usually funny. But I would love it if this was all misdirection. It’s been fun watching obama drive the news media insane all week and especially the past few days. He even knocked out stay red kansas. One more misdirection with all the wrong headlines would just make me love barry forever no matter what he does.
Although, biden does remind me of a carlin quote about bill clinton. “He’s all up front about being full of shit. he comes up and says, ‘hiya folks, i’m bill clinton and i’m completely full of shit, how do you like that?’ and people say, ‘well, at least he’s honest.’ At least he’s honest about being completely full of shit.” That pretty much sums up biden for me.
oh, well that took me too long to type and now i feel like a douche bag.
[re=67472]Chuck Fildren[/re]: It’s for real, unless someone hacked Obama’s website.
Hey!! I didn’t get a text!!!
Okay, the Huffington Post is horrible most of the time, but I have been finding all sorts of wonderful things out today from them. For instance:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steve-clemons/joe-biden-wont-forget-the_b_120539.html
I clicked on the links. Apparently my suburban, middle-class parents are richer than Joe Biden (I’m poorer, but then again, I’m poor).
[re=67467]itgetter[/re]: Fucking hell, if he’s really doing this – sending out a 3am message – is that the biggest FUCK YOU to Hillary ever or am I on crack?
He seriously announced this fucker at 3 in the morning on a Friday night? Is Barry’s sleep schedule as wacked as mine or what? Was he on an all-day bender, totally forgot about the whole VP thing, sent out the text to millions of people then, like, totally realized it was like super late and like, felt real bad and stuff?
I was just about ready to get bored with O’Biden already, then Lo! This kernel of Tourette’s from the past:
“You cannot go into a 7-11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. Oh, I’m not joking.”
Oh boy! This’ll be fun!
[re=67477]AxmxZ[/re]: No, you are correct. I was originally incredulous at how badly the campaign fucked this up, but after reading [re=67469]eatsshootsleaves[/re]‘s post, it seems kind of awesome.
+ smart, asshole
- loudmouth asshole
oh well… not as bad as it could have been, given what Barry had to work with.
[re=67453]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Best or least-worst case then, is if he surrenders himself to Obama’s managers and let them pull the strings while the campaign is on. Then uses his humor and connections and expertise to advise Barry on stuff from behind the scenes so as not to chew on his feet too much in front of others. He says things other dudes are afraid to say outright, like in a youtube clip, called *AMERICA HAS NO CREDIBILITY!*bluntly arguing that US needs to bring in regional power players before making big decisions.
I was always the biggest Biden-skeptic til the Iraq war, then: “Mr. President, you’re leading us off a cliff, stop.” Amen.
[re=67473]Chuck Fildren[/re]: You’re all right, dude.
I got the text at 2:47 AM Central.
Yeah, he’s doing it on purpose. The snarky, puerile, beautiful jerk.
This is the BEST present that Barack Hussein Obama could have given the Republican Party!!!
I am glad that didn’t waste my time waiting to receive a text meassage when all the news media have already announced the BAD NEWS!!!!
Obama-Biden… If you say it real fast 3 times… it sounds like Osama bin Laden.
Michael Jackson would have been a better Running mate… At least he can SING!!!
Not only is Obama ready for the 3am phone call, so are all of his supporters. Brilliant!
Dude, I just tried to listen to some youtube clips of Biden and I got bored out of my pants. Naked from the waist down, baby.
[re=67508]RoyalpAiNinA$$[/re]: Biden= bin laden minus ‘n La’
This is a clue that bin laden is actually in Los Angeles!
or, Louisiana
drilling holes in levies
or ‘n synch la la la
or drunk at my keyboqrd, frooom ha
After Joe Biden gives his Acceptance Speech in Denver at the Demo Convention….
GOOGLE it and try to find out who he lifted it from. He has a habit of stealing
speeches from Famous British Authors. I guess he has been in the Senate TOO LONG!!!
The Obama/Biden Ticket looks like the second term of the Carter/Mondale
Administration. That was the President that nearly drove this country
into a DEPRESSION!!!! We really don’t need this with all of the problems
that this economy is experiencing right now!!!
intruder alert!
freeze like possum
blech
biden is going to be a good vice president
yahoo
[re=67562]RoyalpAiNinA$$[/re]: Yup. You’re totally right. We should all write in Ron Paul to save the economy and bring on the rapture. Praise Jeebus, and down with the Fed!
Obama bin Biden. Just sayin’
Ken Layne,
At least he didn’t pick that damn woman from Kansas that lied so she could give the Democratic Response to Bush’s State of the Union Address. When Pelosi picked her, Sebelius promised her she was neutral in the Democratic Primary fight and would remain so…until ABC leaked she was endorsing Obama the next day as we awaited her “American Response.” And Kathleen did, just like that…what a bitch. I’m sure Midge has a more unkind word than that to call her.
Bill Richardson isn’t exactly what I would call loyal, so, I had some misgivings there.
Sincerely and respectfully,
Mr-Clark
biden voted for the iraq war and the patriot act. he’s a scum bag. if obama is so concerned with ending the iraq war, why did he pick a vp who voted for it? he should of picked someone like kucinich or mike gravel.
could you expect anything better from indonesian citizen barry sarturo? he lets his own brother live in a hut and he chooses joe biden of all people for his golden ticket. wow.
i’m not wasting my vote by picking the lesser of 2 EVILS ever again. i voted for john kerry last time. jeeze. what a loser. he allowed that poor boy to be tazered…
i’m voting third party. hopefully in the next 4 years we’ll have a revolution. until then i feel sorry for all of you who will be further disenchanted with your messiah, barry sarturo and his new world order sell out slimeball sidekick, joe “patriot act, kill the iraqis” biden. what the hell did iraq have to do with 911 anyway? what a loser.
Obiden is looking for some thug to knock me off already!
Biden = sense of humor + smarts + more baggage than Zsa Zsa Gabor scaling the Alps
The ALL TIME best Brit Hume quote of 2008 was made in their critique of her speech (paraphrasing):
“If you listen to the democrats, you would think that the last eight years were all about lost jobs, and failed opportunities, and that people were destitute or something”.
