Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, October 30, 2008

Traveling with Biden during this campaign has sometimes been like reporting on a politician packaged in shrink-wrap. While his windy, off-point pontification was the stuff of legend among his Senate colleagues, Biden is now leashed to a teleprompter even when he is talking in a high school gym that is three-quarters empty.

Put on the same leash obamas handlers have him on? Great, now even less info on their plans, just what we need. It's not like it matters the have already bought the office and insulted America.

At least he answers questions instead of wrinkling his nose and winking.

and such great things come out of his mouth.

I'm with you Snark. Give me a straight talking person any day.
Unfortunately it is hard to find in pols ...unless they accidentally reveal their intent with an off the cuff answer...instead of their rehearsed and scripted version.

I must admit putting the gaff master on a lease is the first intelligent thing Obama has done so far...

"putting the gaff master on a lease"

I don't know...don't you think renting would have been more prudent?

They are just trying to win - four letter word: W-I-N.

And Palin doing interview after interview sure shows the difference!

According to Suzy Orman.... Never EVER lease!

Obama wanted to stop the bleeding at the $150K earned income tax limit.

hmmm...all the snarking at the better-run campaign.

All you Neocons can console yourself with the thought: Hey, at least we have Palin on OUR ticket."

"Great, now even less info on their plans, just what we need."

As far as I can tell, both the Obama and McCain camps talk in sweeping generalities rather than specifics.

Yes, its annoying but I'm pretty confident that no matter who wins they can't fuck up any worse than the jackasses running things now.

Nothing speaks to business as usual more than Obama's selection of Biden. The credit card companies favorite Senator.

Biden totally uncensored would be a hell of a lot more funny, who could forget the clip where he called Obama CLEAN That was Hilarious so it is understandable why Obama would have him stick strictly to the teleprompter this close to the election.

The credit card companies favorite Senator (Biden).

And why wouldn't they? His son is a lobbyist who was paid hundreds of thousands by MBNA. The media swept that under the rug, and nobody seems to care.

Is she talking about a house? Owning a house is a big anchor in your ass when you have to move to another part of the country for work.

Lets say I bought a house in New England about 4 years ago for $450,000. My job dried up because of the high taxes in the area so I have to move to the South for work. My house is up for sale and the offer is $275,000, what do I do? I don't have a job but I can't give my house away. What do I do Sue?

"I must admit putting the gaff master on a lease is the first intelligent thing Obama has done so far..."

Yeah, he should learn from John McBush how to run a winning campaign.

Palin was on a leash til she chewed through it. Now the Diva has gone rogue!

ABSOLUTELY incorrect

ask whats her name in florida who had the nerve to ask his the socialists/marxist question. he has refused further interviews with that station
.

when mccain had a problem with campbell brown people here called him all sorts of things but
BIDEN GETS A PASS...........go figure

The reason Obama has a winning campaign is all the major news networks are in Obama's pocket Danni and you know it. Fox news is the only news outlet that questions anything about Obama or Biden. Look at the LA Times even they are withholding a tape to protect Obama's image, tell me that sounds fair and balanced.

Lunchtime later Danni...

I still want to know where obama is getting all his money from. The economy is way too bad ofr me to be donating $50 a month for the last year to any canadate.

Not to mention that Obama has turned off verification on credit cards so 150 million cant be tracked, sounds like fraud. Also, his birth certificate is locked up? Its going to be an interesting few days.

"Also, his birth certificate is locked up?"

Tinfoil alert.

actually, I believe that he has produced his birth certificate and that is no longer an issue. I heard this just this morning although I didnt actually see it........

of course he was born into professional academics, as howard fine has stated, so THATS enough to look at him REAL carefully already...........

I mean there is nothing wrong with professional academics if you are looking for people with little or no knowledge of people who WORK FOR A LIVING

One more time...

www.factcheck.org

Recently FactCheck representatives got a chance to spend some time with the birth certificate, and we can attest to the fact that it is real and three-dimensional and resides at the Obama headquarters in Chicago. We can assure readers that the certificate does bear a raised seal, and that it's stamped on the back by Hawaii state registrar Alvin T. Onaka (who uses a signature stamp rather than signing individual birth certificates). We even brought home a few photographs.

You can click on the photos to get full-size versions, which haven't been edited in any way, except that some have been rotated 90 degrees for viewing purposes.

The certificate has all the elements the State Department requires for proving citizenship to obtain a U.S. passport: "your full name, the full name of your parent(s), date and place of birth, sex, date the birth record was filed, and the seal or other certification of the official custodian of such records." The names, date and place of birth, and filing date are all evident on the scanned version, and you can see the seal above.

"The reason Obama has a winning campaign is all the major news networks are in Obama's pocket Danni and you know it."

Oh Fox News is in his pocket.
Funny thing, I remember watching the Rev. Wright videos over and over on all the network. When your candidate is wrong and is being rejected then your blame the media. Pathetic.

it'd be best to put a shock collar on him...just sayin'...

Obama has been funded by Wall Street from the getgo.

Wall Street is robbing us all blind. Their take in the fifties and sixties 2% of GNP. Today its 40% of GNP. The constant pressure to reduce taxes. particularly on real estate and capital gains is also Wall Street Driven. In 1915 Corporate Anerica paid 100% of all Federal Tax today its practically zero.

Wall Street sees Obama as their best chance to placate the public while they continue to run Washington.

"it'd be best to put a shock collar on him"

That is a hilarious image.

"Jobs is a 3-letter word"-BZZZZZ-(brief pause, biden struggling on floor)

"Where was I...Oh hell, Chuck Graham, stand up, get out of your wheelchair and sta"-BZZZZ-(biden shrieks and has a mild seizure)

"Anyhow...like I was saying, you just can't go into a gas station without an indian accen"-BZZZZZZ-

Joe,

Great idea...better have a backup set of batteries!

Why choose a battery opperated shock collar. Just hook You up a solar panel to the back of Joe Biden and call it the environmental green way to keep Him in line. Comes complete with solar powered fan to cool Him off.

Oh Fox News is in his pocket.Funny thing, I remember watching the Rev. Wright videos over and over on all the network. When your candidate is wrong and is being rejected then your blame the media. Pathetic.

Danni why are your liberal buddies at the LA Times still refusing to release the tape are they being fair and balanced or maybe they are protecting Obama's image. The problem seems to be the major networks simply do not report stories unfavorable to Obama unless it is so blatantly obvious they can not help it Pathetic !!!

As Biden's No. 1 fan, I'm hurt that they're hiding him in the campaign's final days. He's an asset to Obama. I think if McCain had picked his own Biden as running mate -- or, hell, just picked Biden too -- he'd be in much better shape today.


Much as I like Joe, no one should be surprised that he had to be muzzled before the election was done.

That's just Joe.

The reason Obama has a winning campaign is all the major news networks are in Obama's pocket Danni and you know it.

What does it say that the major news networks (which are full of expertly-informed, well-educated people) have a bias toward Obama? Obviously, there's something to the Obama campaign that excites the majority of people who work in the media. Clearly, if the best-informed people prefer Obama, he is the better choice.

Right-wing kooks are always whining about their positions being less represented in the media. So what if they are? Not all opinion is worthy of equal time. Outcry from the "Flat Earth Society" is immediately rejected because their opinions are clearly wrong; why bother giving them equal time? The same goes for Conservatives; their opinions are worthless and their tactics are vile. Giving them equal time is a waste of time.

Ataxpayer,

Media bias is blatant, however I don't think it applies in this case.

The LATimes was given the tape under the agreement that they wouldn't release it. They DID report on it and they are honoring their agreement regarding not releasing it.

Point taken they did have an agreement not to release the tape, I do think if the tape contained video of Palin or McCain it would have most certainly been released. Anyway that being said Obama's best campaign move so far is keeping the gaff master in a box with the lid closed until after the election. I was waiting for Biden to keep lowering the numbers first it was $250,000 then $200,000 then $150,000 Obama had to step in at some point.

"Media bias is blatant"

The fawning over Obama is ridiculous.

But given the venom the GOP has had for the media over recent years, I don't see how they can complain when they get the same in return. You can argue over "who started it" all you want but the GOP hasn't helped itself with its rhetoric. Its one thing to point to specific examples. Its quite another to level constant attacks against the media in general for no reason and that is what the GOP has been up to for years. Its no wonder most of the industry can't stand them. They've made their own bed.

In my opinion, the media doesn't really do enough to expose politicians from either party for what they are so I'm not sure what these politicians are bitching about all the time anyway.

The need to muzzle biden is equal to the opportunism demonstrated by the republicans to try to blow out of proportion any time he mis-speaks or states things bluntly. In any case, an occasional "foot in the mouth" is nothing when compared to a witch-proofed, rednecked neophyte that believes man and dinos walked together about 6000 years ago and got her first passport a year ago. Joe makes the occasional gaffe, Palin IS a gaffe.

" Joe makes the occasional gaffe, Palin IS a gaffe."

She's the gaffe that keeps on giving.

DUBAI (Reuters) - An al Qaeda leader has called for President George W. Bush and the Republicans to be "humiliated

Well one thing is for sure al Qaeda supports both Obama and Biden...

DUBAI (Reuters) - An al Qaeda leader has called for President George W. Bush and the Republicans to be "humiliated


Too late.

"DUBAI (Reuters) - An al Qaeda leader has called for President George W. Bush and the Republicans to be "humiliated""

Dubai? Didn't Bush want to put those people in charge of our port security?


DUBAI (Reuters) - An al Qaeda leader has called for President George W. Bush and the Republicans to be "humiliated

Too late.


No shit. I think this was written 6 years ago and "an al qaeda leader" shouted Bush ak bar!!! in some stupid photo op session in a cave instead of a carrier.

It's a shame cause I wanted to hear more revelations about presidents and electronic technology, now I'm at a loss for brilliant observations from such an astute indiv.

Palin was on a leash TIL SHE CHEWED THROUGH IT . Now the Diva has gone rogue!

Must be those oversized teeth!

The liberal media makes fun of Sarah Palin but the real moron is Joe Biden. I think all the botox he has been taking has fried his brain. He can't open his mouth without putting his foot in it.

Palin delivers speeaches in front of tens of thousands. Biden can't even fill a high school gym!! LMFAO!!!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha...

If Obama wins and God forbig goes the way of MLK, Biden would be president. That idiot may give orders to bomb the wrong country if we ever went to war again.

"That idiot may give orders to bomb the wrong country if we ever went to war again."

Not likely though Palin would probably not be able to find many countries on the map.

I bet she was confused for several days when she first heard about the trouble in Georgia. Probably expecting Alabama to erupt next.

Dear Barak;

How did you do that leash thing on your VP candidate?
I could really use some tips. I think Palin and Joe are trying to whack me. She put exlax in my prune juice this morning and locked herslf in the toilet on the bus. I really should apologise to the camera crew in the van behind us, but a Man's gotta do what it takes, when duty calls!

I may be a spiteful, cranky old bastard, but, since I've torpedoed my campaign better than you evercould, you at least owe me this info.

Yours, you stinkin' commie bastard,

John Sydney McCain III

But on a serious note, should Mccadaver crash and burn again, how long will Dubya, who has a pretty gig ego and has silently put up with being sarah and sydney's punching bag for weeks, wait before lashing out at them?

We'll all remember your sentiments if the socialist censors in the Dem party manage to get elected and try to ressurect the Fairness Doctrine.

Oh, and BTW - Danni is a butch lesbian.
