Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Saturday, September 13, 2008

Sen. Joe Biden offers the most unfiltered contact with the media of any of the big four, but he's the least likely to be covered. Over the three weeks since Sen. Barack Obama tapped Biden to be his running mate, Biden has seen coverage of his campaign slip from feverish to low-key.

Asthmatic Joe slips furter into obscurity. Seems like only yesterday that the press was staking out his home. Some sassy hockey mom from Alaska became everyone's obsession overnight, and now even the angry "progressives" can't get enough of her. Poor Joe.

he's about to become ill.

very.

very ill.

look for her heinous to assuage the situation. imho.

The bigger story was the new face, Palin, who helped McCain draw crowds of 20,000-plus, while Biden took questions at community centers, union halls and high school gyms.

Biden has become the Ronnie James Dio of Democrat nominees.

The only ones watching Biden campaign are writers for Saturday Night Live and Jay Leno.

no comment. just wanted to post it again.

The press that still hang around Biden now are like many 'fans' of NASCAR. Ultimately, it's boring to be around, but there's always the inevitable wreck that happens every week, which is kinda cool to watch.

While Palin remains garaged.

But people are lined up in droves outside that garage, wanting to see what's up. Biden is out in the open screaming 'sale!', 'sale!' But no one's buying.

"Biden is out in the open screaming 'sale!', 'sale!' But no one's buying."

So Sarah will be on more of the talking head shows this next month than Biden?!? No?

Oh, wait...she's going on Hannity next...I'm sure Colmes will have to wash his hair that night.

I laughed for 3 minutes before replying to that! FF!

Biden... I laughed so hard and lost faith in Obama and from then on Palin McCain all the way.

"Biden... I laughed so hard and lost faith in Obama and from then on Palin McCain all the way."

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Like you were planning on voting for Obama right up until his VP pick.

"I'm sure Colmes will have to wash his hair that night."

FF....perfect.

Hate Barry, but love Joe. Too bad; he's the most likeable of the 4.

When Sarah Palin ran for Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska she got more vores than Shoemaker Joe got when he ran for President. The media is not covering Draft Dodger Joe because he a boring bloviating bag of wind.

thanks for that analysis Thom the tool

Fwthom comes to DR immediately following his visit to FreeRepublic and thinks we haven't already heard this 37 times.

"When Sarah Palin ran for Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska she got more vores than Shoemaker Joe got when he ran for President."

That lie has been widely debunked. I'm not surprised you're still repeating it.

When Biden said that Hillary was a better candidate for VP than he was did he mean that he was incompetent or Obama or both?

Use your No. 2 pencil to circle the correct answer. YOU MUST PICK ONE!!!

Sarah said she is ready to lead. Biden said Hillary is more qualified than him.

Wasilla, Alaska had 42 meth lab busts last year.

Sounds like a GREAT place to live.....if you're Ted Haggard.

C'mon, the mukluk messiah had to preside over something.

This is too funny:

"60% of Washington Post's Biden Tax Story Devoted to Palin"

"Democratic VP nominee Joe Biden's Friday release of his tax returns embarrassingly revealed, according to a Bloomberg item in Saturday's Boston Globe, that Biden and his wife have, over the past ten years, donated a piddling two-tenths of 1 percent-- of their income to charities, but Saturday's Washington Post article didn't mention that and instead allocated six of ten paragraphs to how progressive groups...want to determine whether [Sarah] Palin skirted tax obligations.--

newsbusters.org

Nothing like reporting off topic.

To say that the MSM is in the tank for Obama/Biden would be an understatement. They are actively campaigning for Flop Ears and The Asthma Boy. Yet libs complain about Fox News because they can't have a complete monopoly on the news.

When 9 out 10 stories come from huffington and company, why would Biden be in the news? They aren't going to bring up plagiarism or the hundreds of times Biden has been on the wrong side of issues. Everyone knows "I am not bald Joe" loves to hear himself speak and has never turned down an invitation from the media. Look what happened when they did cover him. Stand up Chuck. C'mon take a bow. Jeez am I an idiot. Mia culpa.

This is your response to being proven a liar by Fox news????????

I read somewhere that Biden is under 'witness protection program' --- no wonder the media is not chasing him.

Sarah please.....

Sarah should treat Wasilla the way I treated my community. "Ya'll leave them meth labs be".

Biden needs to make a statement or comment to shake things up and get the press to pay some attention to him.

Maybe if Joe Biden can get one of his little grandchildren to stand next to him and take a
warm and fuzzy photo of a moose he just slaughtered he can take some of the attention away from Sarah Palin.

"slaughterd"???? So you are anti-hunting cc. Go join PETa becausw unless you are a vegan you ARE a hypocrite.

Your infatuation with Palin is a laugher...tell us about Joe Biden's personality, religion, chuch, son's jobs, family life, etc.

Dem's are playing dumb right here, just ask Mark Penn

Joe Biden has 30 years of foreign policy experience.

Palin says she can "see" Russia from Alaska.
That is the extent of her foreign policy experience.

To even begin to compair the two of them is ludicrous.

In her tv interview last week with Gibson Palin didn't even know it was Georgia who started the conflict in South Osettia and blamed Russia for "attacking unprovoked"! Everyone knows it was Georgia who did the invasion.

Hey, I can stand in San Diego and "see" Mexico. Not only that, I've gone there many times.
Does that qualify me for VP?

Get real. Palin is a far, far right evangelical nutjob who worships Israel (even has an Israel flag in her Governor's office) and is a mukluk wearing Neocon. She will take us to war for Isreal at the drop of a hat as it is all part of her religious belief in the "Rapture." She is too stupid and too emeshed in her religion to be put in such a position of power.
Don't be blinded into thinking she's "sweet and non-war like" because she wears lipstick.
It could very well be a FATAL mistake on your part.

Well what do you expect? Biden himself said that Hillary was more qualified than he to be VP...and was "probably the better choice."

If Biden doesn't take himself seriously, why should the press?

Biden? They've been covering this retreaded blowhard for 30 years. He's old news. Older news than McCain. His picture comes on the screen, the remote clicks to the next channel. Of course the media ignores him. He's a snoozer.

Why would anyone want to see Biden's newest Identy Theft impersonation when they can watch real comedians who are actually FUNNY?

Maybe he is doing Hairclub for Men commercials....

I like a quote I read somewhare but can't remember the person who said it...
30 Years of Foriegn Policy Experience, always making the WRONG choice.

Yes, that is who we need for VP, one of the Marx Brothers... but they are so much funnier than this phoney.

He even lied about how his wife and child died... the Truck driver was not "drunk", "speeding" or driving a truck with "failed brakes"...

In 2007 at the U of Iowa Biden said "Let me tell you a little story. I got elected when I was 29, and I got elected November the 7th. And on Dec. 18 of that year, my wife and three kids were Christmas shopping for a Christmas tree. A tractor-trailer, a guy who allegedly -- and I never pursued it -- drank his lunch instead of eating his lunch, broadsided my family and killed my wife instantly, and killed my daughter instantly, and hospitalized my two sons, with what were thought to be at the time permanent, fundamental injuries."

In 2001 "It was an errant driver who stopped to drink instead of drive and hit a tractor-trailer, hit my children and my wife and killed them," Biden said, according to a transcript archived on his Senate Web site.

"The rumor about alcohol being involved by either party, especially the truck driver, is incorrect," said Jerome O. Herlihy, a Delaware Superior Court judge who was chief deputy attorney general and worked with crash investigators in 1972.
"If it were some part of a cause of the accident, there would have been a charge, simply because if you're driving under the influence and kill someone in the process -- whether it's the wife of a U.S. senator or anybody else -- there's going to be a charge," he said.
Herlihy said investigators discussed several possible causes for the crash, including that Biden's first wife, Neilia, turned her head and didn't see the oncoming truck as she exited the intersection of Limestone and Valley roads on Dec. 18, 1972.

Two days after the crash, Herlihy, a neighbor of the Bidens in the late 1960s who still considers the senator "a friend," told the paper that there was no evidence that Dunn "was speeding, drinking or driving a truck with faulty brakes." No criminal charges related to the crash were ever filed against Dunn, who lived in North East, Md.

Yet shameless Joe Biden uses his own wife and child's death to further his own political career while slandering the truck driver and his family in the process.
