In a related story, a two separate flights were also chartered, one for Senator Biden's hair plugs, and the other for his jumbo jet ego.
Witnesses say a third plane might be chartered for Biden's lobbyist son and the rest of the credit industry, as word was getting out about sweetheart land deals, and Senator Obama funneling 3.4 million dollars to Biden's lobbyist son...

I wonder how a man forced to repeat a year in LAW SCHOOL for plagiarism can become senator...who claims to be an average joe, yet owns $4 million in real estate...who spends $200 a DAY taking Amtrak home...who was passed over for president and vp so many many times, only to be picked by a man supposedly representing change, who decided that 36 years in the Senate was the change he needed, (not someone with 18 million votes, duh). Good luck in the fall, idiots!

hippie_chucker,
So, you would rather have a 72 year old, 26 year politician, with years of experience who has possbily entrusted the security of this country in future years to a political novice who dodges the press?

If Biden cannot quit this crap, he needs to resign from the ticket! You have Palin on the Repub side, trashing Obama enthusiastically. Then you have Biden on the Demo side, who can't seem to praise McCain enough. The story of McCain and the drinking/dancing with Biden's wife made me sick. What was the point of sharing that?

I think that Biden was a poor choice. It is one thing to say complimentary things about your opponent when you are asked, quite another to keep pulling out these buddy-buddy stories when no-one prompts you to do so...

Since McCain is a pilot not unfamiliar with crashes and their aftermath, perhaps he can explain why the 9/11 Commission claims the black boxes from Ground Zero "were not found", when we have Dan Rather announcing that Giuliani is "holding up" one on video:

=====================================
Indy_voter, when Sarah Palin has been coached enough to stand up to Freakazoid Noberman and Slobber Mouth Matthews, she will.

After all, back 3-4 months ago she was busy with Alaska business, family business, fighting state corruption, and putting a pipeline through.

Why didn't YOU warn her then that she would be picked for the 2nd most important job in the free world.

A quick question for you, since you are so smart.

Quickly now, who is the president of New Jerkistan????

Ya see.

Palin - 08

Giving the media access to Gov. Palin is fine if they then question Sen Obama and Sen Biden equally assiduously.Of course, we know that that won't happen because they've had months and months and...need I go on?... to question BHO about Rezko, Michelle's Hospitalgate, Weathers, Farrakhan, not to mention Biden's five military service exemptions and his phantom asthma.
Listening and reading mainstream material, I now fear that even Fox is in the tank for Obama.

I heard there was also a cardboard cut out of Obama going to Iraq to find out what was going on - when it was uncovered - he had to go in person even though his mind was already made up we'd failed. Newsflash to Obama and Biden - despite your best efforts the US and US Military did not fail.

Smart thinking. As long as they keep her under wraps it keeps you guys talking about her, keeps her name out there!!

Indy voter-
Perhaps, you should worry about the TOP of your ticket, and his lack of experience. In a year when the generic Dem pulls 80% in favor of a win, what's wrong with your candidate, homey?

Perhaps its his 143 WORKING days of "experience" in the senate, where he's pulled in a MILLION dollars a day in pork for his state.

Where his self proclaimed hardest choice was being against the war WHEN HE WASN'T ABLE TO VOTE ON IT. Wow, what courage-definitely beats a man who was tortured and stabbed in the groin, etc.

Has Obama ever run a business. NO
Has Obama ever voted against tax increases? NO
Has Obama ever had to hire, fire, and administer a budget? NO...
Has all he ever has done is vote for entitlements? YES

As a progressive Democrat, I don't agree with all of Biden's record, either. But I'll take him any day over John McMansion and his idiot sidekick. Heck, I'd take Michael Palin over Sarah Palin (at least he makes me laugh, not vomit).

The RepubliCrook fascists think schools should stop teaching science and that the country should become a Taliban-style theocracy, where an outlaw president is a dictator who steals from hardworking people. Just like Bush and Cheney already do.

McMansion is so frightened of having to tell the American people he's clueless and senile, he refuses to discuss issues (says the contest should be about personalities) and won't let Gov. Trailertrash give any interviews at all.

Why is it that Joe Biden lies about his wife accident? He says she was killed by a drunk driver when the reports state that the truck driver was not drunk. I think this speaks very pointedly of his honesty.The truck driver's family is very disturbed that he is smearing their father's memory.

Like Rudy said If you were strictly hiring someone for the job you certainly wouldn't hire either Obama or Biden. Neither one has done anything much to speak of except spending a lot of time going to law school and in politics.

seriously the election 60 days away and this is election coverage? the press should be ashamed.

Senator McCain made a perilous mistake selecting Palin as a running mate. Far too many reasons to reiterate. Laugh
if you like but, he should have chosen Senator Clinton. She would have run
to him like a little puppy dog. She
would sell her soul to be President
after he can no longer serve!!

This is nonsense. The hype about Sarah Palin is ridiculous. Listening to her surrogates talk about how much experience she has, and then keeping her sequestered from defining herself is transparent. She is not ready; this was an irresponsible choice to win an election.
They accused one candidate of celebrity status he earned through his history, policies, proposals, and ability to organize a huge and successful grassroots organization, as well as his oratory skills. They select a celebrity candidate of their own that is assigned for her personal and sensational life very much on the level of Brittany Spears, et al.
There is no discussion of issues; the Republicans believe they can win this election on "personality" and have said so. Are you insulted yet?

Yes, now these are the issues we need to be talking about. The Bush/McCain ticket is the another 4 years of the last 8 years. Who needs to talk about the really important stuff.

I dont think Biden is doing such a good job. O picked the wrong person.

this is a non-issue except to point out that McCain is not gracious. More importantly, what convinces me that McCain/Palin are wrong for America is their contempt for the voter. We have Cindy and John McCain both saying in live interviews that Palin has foreign policy experience because Alaska is near Russia. Huh?? We have McCain saying he represents change when he voted 90% with Bush, his policies are identical to Bush and he is managed by the same Karl Rove crowd that managed Bush. They have thrown out any attempts at honest politics when Palin says she sold a government plane on eBay for a profit and it turns out it was sold through a broker at a loss. When she says she is against earmarks but fought to get as many as she could. When she says she was against the Bridge to Nowhere but was for it until it was a dead issue. They think we will believe anything they say How stupid do they think we are?

I watched the Sunday news show and noted the general disdain by the ABC Roundtable regarding John McCain statements regarding Governor Sarah Palin foreign policy creditials as a Governor of Alaska. Everyone thought that there was funny and there was no basis. How does ABC news reconcile that position with Governor Rick Perry of Texas standing up to President George Bush and the World Court opposition to the execution of Mexican nationals who did not have an opportunity to see their Mexican consul. Governor Rick Perry and the State of Texas ignored Bush and the World Court and in so doing conducted an amazing foreign policy for a state. States along the Mexican border such as Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and California have had to deal with immigration issues and relations with Mexico on a day to day basis. Those Southern governors do have foreign policy experience. ABC news reporters display their ignorance when they do not recognize the intimacy that exists between states that border foreign countries such as Mexico and Russia.
