Oh, That Joe! (No. 9 in a Series) – Wherein Jill Biden and John McCain Dance Drunkenly on a Tabletop in Greece

Biden, unscripted, unvarnished and always brings a smile.

So Joe is for McCain! Good O’l Joe. We knew you would come out of the haze.

Methinks Joe is really a Hillary supporter planted as a mole in the Obama campaign to disrupt it. LOL

Appears that Biden likes Mccain as a friend but doesn’t like his policies.
It’s kind of like Ted Kennedy and Orrin Hatch are great friends but their policy positions are totally opposite.

I understand biden and McCain are good friends, but come on……..don’t campaign for McCain!!
When has he said a good thing about Obama??

Where are the Biden Obama drinking stories? NOT HERE!

really
I bet he can.

I just watched Palin and she mentioned her son going to Iraq 4 times as part of her campaign.
she is getting so phony & pathetic already

Why my innocent earlier post was removed is questionable…I said I love Joe Biden and wish he was at the top of his party’s ticket, in case of default Presidency. He has more in common with John McCain than the Rootless Cosmopolitan. I loved Hill, like Joe, but could never vote for BO…and have no problem voting for Biden’s good friend John McCain. Even Joe wanted to run with him at one point.
Didn’t Biden say “Obama is good looking, clean and articulate for an African American….storytale, man”…also, I think we have tape on him stating that Obama not qualified to be Prez (Stephanopolis asked him at a debate)….love that Joe!

Samantha – I loved your post. And I loved this Biden story. You CAN disagree and still admire, respect, even like eachother and it is actually a time-honored tradition in old-time politics (certain famous stories not withstanding). Holding grudges doesn’t help a politician in the long run. Hate-filled responses and attacks are not necessary, except in the blogosphere apparently.
Ah, real life! Time to log off the blogs and get back to it!
Happy Friday everyone – Dems & Reps and Indies and Greens and . . . .

Joe is one classy, talented and experienced gentleman and someone America could finally be proud of.

On subject I agree, Joe is a class act though the contrast of Senatorial Collegiality is in stark contrast to partisan rancor, our “American Gladiator”
culture isn’t to sharp on nuance.. so cut it out Joe – everyone really still wants blood in the water.

“I just watched Palin and she mentioned her son going to Iraq 4 times as part of her campaign.
she is getting so phony & pathetic already”
vet,
You don’t understand moms love to talk about their children whom they are proud of.

“I just watched Palin and she mentioned her son going to Iraq 4 times as part of her campaign.”

Joe Biden is pitiful, just pitiful. He needs to go back to his usual rudeness, sneering and being quite horrific at anyone that does not believe in him. Well, I do not, along with a lot of other people I know.

“When has [Biden] said a good thing about Obama??”

Senator McCain has friends going back to elementary school. He has his good Senator buddies, his family’s long service of country, his band of brothers who are real American heros, and even Joe and Jill Biden.
Obama has…let me see…I’ll find one friend…well, I can’t find anybody who can testify to Obama’s character and upbringing. He threw them all under the bus or they are in jail. They all hate America.
Oh yes, now he’s dragging Hillary Clinton and a bunch of other women to give him what he doesn’t have; character…they don’t even know him. Hiding under Hillary’s skirt again Mr. Obama?

I sure wish Obama had picked Hillary.
Biden can not keep his mouth shut.

Well, no one can claim the Obama/Biden team is stooping to character assassination of John McCain…refreshing really. I too like the man McCain, and respect him as a veteran; however, I detest his policies and his most recent display of “judgment”. Perfectly OK to separate the person from the policies. I will vote for the policies…issues are what matter!

And folks talk about Sarah Palin twisting the knife with a smile?

Lieberman says McCain is great!
Biden says McCain is great!
Sounds GREAT to me too!

Hey, I have an idea! Lets take the most meaningless part of someones speech and post it on a news blog and see what people think about it. That way we wont have to deal with any of those awful hard to understand issues, we can just phone it in!

Biden got mucho sound bites in Fridays cycle. All hard hitting, and where was Sarah?
At home in Alaska studying a map….

Tells us a lot about Obama’s judgment doesn’t it?

Biden’s most helpful
contribution to the Dem
ticket would be dropping
out on his own – now.
He should make a quiet
exit. No funny speech,
please.

Can we bribe this guy to
drop out?

Wait. Who is Biden campaigning for again?

Of course Biden is saying McCain is a great guy. He is thrwoing hints to the American people to not vote for Obama and to go vote for the great guy. Don’t say Biden didn’t warn us!

Collect Biden rants from
the campaign trail.
Present them to a judge.
Have him declared mentally
incompetent to stand for
any elective office.

I would love if the McCain/Palin campaign would keep a running video log of all the Biden gaffes and make one long ad to air in late October….wonder what number Jake will be on by then.

That’s a great story. I think it is important for us to remember that this is all politics.
I think people at home get kind of caught up in the jeering… but at the end of the day.
Sure, there are issues that effect us. But the politicians really think it is all some kind of theatre. Until we actually elect people who have ordinary experience… that’s all we’ll have.
But look, even the novices, Palin and Obama, have gotten their noses dirty. You have to if you want to get in their game. That’s America.
And, though I really would like to see my neighbors catch a break on healthcare. And I hate the stupid war in Iraq. And I wish that all these busybodies would just leave gay people alone. I don’t really get too bent out of shape when some nut votes for a Republican… because what do you expect?
It’s all a bunch of theatre. Like pro-wrestling, only fake.

Biden is committed to his party. The reason he won’t stoop to McCain’s level is because McCain is married to the same mud-slinging, fact twisting tactics that put Bush back in office in 2004
To “go there” means playing into his hands and giving up the election. It’s all the GOP is capable of and they’re good at it.
I say they (Obama and Biden) stay classy, and stick to the issues. That’s honestly all I care about, and it’s all you should, too.

Biden is so smart the left doesn’t deserve him. He knows that McCain isn’t Bush, and that if the Democrats treat McCain with the same demonic hatred the left holds for Bush, they will alienate a lot of independents. With this story Biden demonstrates he that being of the left isn’t the antithesis of being a grownup.

“John McCain is my friend,” said the loquacious Blue Hen. “I admire John McCain. I know of no man or woman I have ever met that has more personal courage than John McCain.
IS BIDEN NOW ON MCCAIN / PALIN / BIDEN ticket now ?
SO I get it now : “McCain/Palin/Biden 2008″ vs “OBAMA”

BIDEN = “ABSENT”
The media has COMPLETELY forgotten about me !!!

Biden has trivialized himself
and his utterances down to a
value of zero.

Theres Partisan Politics And Bitter Campaigns But At The End Of The Day..Friendship

This is a wonderful reminder that friendship isnt about the (D) or (R) behind ones name
But he’s a great guy, Biden said, and if John called me today and said Joe -, like when they went after John McCain, when …

Remember when Obama said Rev. Wright was like the crazy uncle you hide in the attic? Maybe he’s got room for Joe up there too.

If the quote in the article was all Biden said, I can see why Obama supporters would be mad at him. However, I saw his speech on C-Span yesterday and he went on to say a lot more. After praising Mc Cain the man, Biden went on to say how much he and McCain disagree on issues, and that even while travelling together, they would get into big arguments about some of those issues. He praised the man, not the man’s policies. I see nothing wrong with that.

Where is all this hate coming from? Have we gotten so base in this country that one candidate says something nice about another and he’s slammed for it?
This election isn’t about personalities or who can attack whom best. It’s about big problems that require us getting out of this smear at all costs way of electing the best people.
I’ve listened to McCain/Palin twice today trying to be open minded. Their entire focus is on a war 35 years ago or a war today or what war next. One mention of *I know times are tough* and then back to war.
Listen to these people and quit getting mired in the attacks or lack thereof.
Shame on you Tapper. An educated electorate depends on a rigorous media. You guys all failed us getting into Iraq, don’t fail us again.

Wait a minute — these comments run backwards? God, that’s annoying. I just wasted several minutes trying to make sense of the conversation here, before finally realizing these comments are set up to run newest to oldest — the opposite of practically every other comments system on the web.
Let me ask: Do you people actually scroll to the bottom and read up or something? How else are you bantering back and forth with each other? (And doesn’t this need to scroll backwards annoy you?)

Realisticlib, last year McCain hadn’t sold out to the Rove Team.

That was classy on Biden’s part. To me that contrasts with the mean-spiritedness of the other vice-presidential nominee.
McCain, Obama and Biden have all shown more personal class and integrity than Gov. Palen.

is it just me, or does anyone wish they saw Jill dancing with McCain?
I surely would have loved it :)
