Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, son of senator-turned-V.P. Joe Biden, has publicly announced that he won’t run for U.S. Senate to fill his father’s old seat. Instead he will seek re-election as attorney general of the state:
“I have a duty to fulfill as attorney general — and the immediate need to focus on a case [...]
Beau Biden not interested in father’s footsteps
Thankfully terrorists don’t look like the Salahis
The Secret Service is in big trouble for jeopardizing the President and VIPs at the recent state dinner honoring India’s prime minister. Uninvited D.C. socialite guests Michaele and Tareq Salahi managed to talk (or bribe or sneak?) their way into the event, met and took pictures with the President, V.P. Biden, and many others, all [...]
Blame Obama, blame Biden, blame Dede, blame GOP, but don’t blame conservatives
Republicans claim two new governorships in Virginia (Bob McDonnell) and New Jersey (Chris Christie), but lost by a small margin in the drama that is NY-23. The flood of high profile endorsements from Palin, et. al. was not able to carry Doug Hoffman over the winning edge. However, had Dede Scozzafava bowed out of the [...]
Biden: 187,681 fans; Palin: 959,023 fans
Take a look at Biden vs. Palin’s Facebook fanbase.
Now tell me who should shut up? Clearly nobody cares about what Biden has to say.

Biden doesn’t understand what debt means
At an AARP town hall meeting V.P. Joe Biden has this gem to offer regarding the health care bill and its impact:
“We’re going to go bankrupt as a nation,” Biden said.
“Now, people when I say that look at me and say, ‘What are you talking about, Joe? You’re telling me we have to go spend [...]
The economy is worse
Vice President Joe Biden admitted, whether intentionally or not, that the administration had “misread” the economy. That’s why things aren’t turning around and unemployment rose to nearly 10% instead of the White House’s prediction of 8%. But according to Mortimer Zuckerman writing in the WSJ, the real numbers about the economy deliver much worse news:
The [...]
To Israel, Obama says no, Biden says yes?
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wisely chooses to remain silent on the matter of Israel-Iran while President Obama and V.P. Biden continue to make conflicting statements:
Asked by CNN whether Washington had given Israel a green light for such an attack, Obama answered: “Absolutely not.”
And from the veep:
In an interview on ABC’s “This Week” program, Biden [...]
Biden admits “misreading” economy
Vice President Joe Biden tells ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos that everyone (the administration, really) were too optimistic about the economy back when TARP was being debated. The Obama administration predicted unemployment to peak at 8 percent, but now it’s 9.5 percent, and that number will likely rise in the immediate future.
So knowing this and admitting [...]
Mexico closes itself before we close borders
In light of an imminent swine flu pandemic, Mexico is shutting down its government for five days as President Felipe Calderon urged his citizens to stay home with their families.
Should the U.S. close its borders with Mexico? The White House hasn’t made a decision yet, although V.P. Biden has clearly made up his mind.

Don’t over-analyze Specter’s departure
Meghan McCain blogs about her disappointment upon Sen. Arlen Specter decision to jump ship to the Democrat Party. According to her:
Of course, this speaks to much larger problem in the GOP. We need to attract more centrist and progressive conservative voters at the primary level, so that level-headed candidates stand a chance. We need courageous [...]
Biden household contributed less than $2,000 to charities in 2008
The White House has released 2008 tax returns from the President and the Vice President. Interestingly, take a look at Joe Biden’s charitable contributions for the year: $1,885. With an adjusted gross income of $269,256, that’s not even 1% in charitable gifts. Okay, it’s possible that the tax return doesn’t tell the whole story. He [...]
Video of Biden’s daughter doing cocaine?
There is trouble in the domestic front — V.P. Joe Biden’s family and by extension, the White House family. Somebody has video of Ashley Biden, or somebody who resembles her, at a party enjoying a few lines of cocaine.
If the video is truly evidence of Ashley’s drug use, then we can expect the standard “children [...]
Obama silence on Gaza war irks many
Oh yes, the silence is deafening. President-elect Obama has remained muted in light of the recent conflict in Gaza between Israel and Hamas. Also not a word from his choice for Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. And same with Joe Biden, his V.P. with mountains of foreign policies experience.
It’s starting to make many Obama supporters [...]
McCain campaign postmortem
We all know that the Obama campaign did many things right. It energized the youth vote with new voter registration drives. It kept Sen. Biden away from the press in the later weeks. It never allowed the candidate to speak without a teleprompter (when he did, he created the “Joe the Plumber” panic). Undoubtedly a [...]
Slate staff picks Obama for president, thankfully they’ve been wrong for the past two elections
In a meaningless exercise to further pay homage to The One, Slate asks its staff members who their pick for president will be and why. Well, Obama/Biden wins in a landslide of 55 out of 57 votes.
The good news is that in 2000 the staff picked Al Gore and 2004 John Kerry. So that leaves [...]
