#1 Biden totally disgusts me - he should've dropped from public eye when he was caught plagiarizing Neil Kinnock's bio in a presidential campaign speech - when was that, '88? He hasn't gotten any smarter or developed better ethics since, apparently.

Hewitt calls him: "the attention-starved, dense-as-cement statesman from Delaware"

#2 A friend of mine for over 30 years lives in Delaware. And even he, a Liberal Democrat, considers Biden "comic releif".

#3 "[W]hat did he know, and when did he know it?â

These words were nails in Nixon's coffin only because they came from a member of his own party.

#4 Everytime I see Biden yapping away, I also think back to the plagiarizing of Kinnock. What do the professionals call it? Projecting? "I screwed up and to make sure I pay back in spades, EVERYBODY had to follow MY advice in not making the same transgression"

Biden ought to be asking for Mueller's and Tenet's heads. Rummy and DOD are the only ones thinking out of the box. But of course, Tenet and Mueller are not part of the NeoCon Cabal.

#5 I saw Rockefeller (D) speaking immediately after the broadcast and I thought he was even more disgusting. He basically had the same talking points, trying to connect Bush to this through Rummey and Wolfewitz. Instead of saying something like, this is not America - Moslem's should know that the president is right - he basically tried to fire up Moslem outrage and then prostituted his countrymen for a couple of votes. I'm going to ask the FCC to fine the station for showing this disgusting act of public prostitution on prime time TV.

I know this plays to their Democratic base, and I know it has an impact - but I think they are playing a dangerous game that, in the end, they will lose.

#6 Oh yeah, dragging up old Watergate-era slogans is REALLY gonna get the Gen X and Y vote.
Just like trotting out ol' Teddy Kennedy.
Good Lord, who the hell does the Democrats' marketing, anyway? I'm a liberal arts grad and I could do better than that!
