This is public because I want people to see it!
I just read this piece about Joe from ABC News - http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/09/oh-that-joe--12.html
Some highlights:
- Speaking at a Democratic Fundraiser to lawyers: "We're going to need you going into election time, because we're going to mobilize thousands of lawyers to make sure they don't steal another election."
- "He's an honorable, decent man, but John McCain truly believes, truly believes that you are corporate America's problem," he said to the trial lawyers.

Reality check for Vice President Joe Biden
SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA channel 12, Ark-Tex-LA) - Giving the republican response to President Obama's speech Tuesday night, Governor Bobby Jindal pointed out fundamental differences in how republicans and democrats see the economy.
"But what I don't understand from Governor Jindal is what would he do?," asks Joe Biden while on the Early Show.
That rhetorical question to Governor Jindal on the Early Show, was followed with this.

My apologies if you've heard this already but it's really good stuff.
Apparently one of my local news anchors (Mrs. Barbara West) took her opportunity to speak to Joe Biden and actually ask some hard ball questions.

Biden Reinforces the Point posted by Shannen Coffin
Vice President Cheney had a little fun at his successor-to-be's expense today, telling Fox News Sunday that he didn't take Joe Biden's criticism of his tenure too seriously because Joe Biden doesn't know the Constitution from a hole in the ground. Bill Sammon reports that Cheney said: "Joe's been chairman of the Judiciary Committee, a member of the Judiciary Committee in the Senate for 36 years, teaches constitutional law back in Delaware, and can't keep straight which article of the Constitution provides for the legislature and which provides for the executive. So I think I'd write that off as campaign rhetoric.

With a Wink and a Smile
A citizen-politician runs for veep.
By Mark Steyn
Back in February, several political lifetimes ago, I was on the radio with Laura Ingraham and she played Stevie Wonder’s campaign song for Barack Obama, whose lyric, in its entirety, runs:
Ba-rack O-ba-ma
Ba-a-rack O-ba-a-ma
Ba-ra-ack Obama-a...
(Repeat until coronation.)
And Laura and I had a good laugh about it, until it occurred to me that, in politics as in pop, the tune is more important than the words.

Sold-out movie thwarts Bidens
OK, if it wasn't them, then who were those Secret Service guys?
BY ANGIE BASIOUNY • THE NEWS JOURNAL • JANUARY 5, 2009
He's a heartbeat away from the presidency, but that apparently didn't help Joe Biden get a movie ticket Saturday night.
Employees at the Regal Brandywine Cinemas say the vice president-elect and his wife, Jill, tried to attend the 7:45 showing of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" at the theater on Concord Pike but left after they were told the movie was sold out.

From CNN's Alexander Marquardt
WILMINGTON, Delaware (CNN) – Joe Biden's spokesman said the Delaware senator would be canceling campaign events Monday and Tuesday in the wake of his mother-in-law's death Sunday.
"Other details will follow, but we appreciate everyone's respect for the family's privacy during this difficult time," wrote Biden spokesman David Wade.
Bonny Jacobs, Jill Biden's mother, had been sick for a long time and was living in a hospice.

Juxtaposed against Joe Biden, Barack Obama appears so scripted.
Biden jokes about it himself. While giving the commencement address at the Air Force Academy near Colorado Springs, Colo., on Wednesday, Biden noticed that one of his teleprompters had fallen.
