Joe Biden Invents History — Again

Even when the Obama campaign puts a script in front of him, Joe Biden can’t control himself:


Here’s the script for Hume’s report:

Wrong Turn

Senator Joe Biden was reading through a speech on foreign policy in Cincinnati Wednesday when he suddenly departed from his prepared text.

The Democratic vice presidential nominee criticized John McCain for opposing negotiations with Iran, saying, “After seven years… the Bush administration realized the absurdity of its own policy and sent our leading diplomat to Iran. The assistant secretary of state as he went to Tehran, sat down at the instruction of the president of the United States.”

Oops.

No such meeting ever happened. There was a meeting with Iran but it was Undersecretary William Burns and it was in Switzerland — not Iran — and Burns merely sat in on discussions between Iranian representatives and other international diplomats. Burns had no negotiating role and was just an observer.

And, U.S. diplomats had previously met with Iran anyway, at a lower level in Iraq to discuss issues related to Iraq. …

    Obama Admits Dual Citizenship
    September 25, 2008 by texasdarlin

    Dual Citizenship Makes Obama Ineligible Under Article II

    This new material at “Fight the Smears” displays arrogance, hubris and bad faith, in my opinion. It is the Senator’s reaction to Phillip Berg’s Law Suit, and, basically, it amounts to an open admission of mens rea. He is flaunting his bad faith and in so doing destroys his own case.

    I don’t mean to offend anyone, but Biden has developed a reputation of being an alcoholic, which can cause brain damage. He’s also had two brain aneurysms, and the treatment was no doubt surgery–in his brain.

    I think he might be brain damaged.

    I watch the way he acts and I think he’s weird.

    He also has a tendency to get very carried away, especially when he recieves applause. (Goes off script, says outlandish things, voice gets very loud, and his face looks really mean when he gets excited.) Biden is also a mega liar and panderer.

    He’s a sloppy politician.

    Joe Biden Invents History — Again = Distress call? :)

  • Obama is a bum

    Let Biden debate Obama tonight — that would be good for a few laughs and it keeps Obama out of Washington where he is clueless about the financial crisis. Everyone knows Obama prefers to talk rather than work.

  • Obama is a bum

    The Democrats like to talk about McCain dying and Palin becoming president even though Palin would be a much better president than Obama. But Biden is not much younger than McCain so it may be more likely that one day Obama ODs and the next day Biden keels over from booze so we get stuck with Pelosi.

  • Obama is a bum

    But it would be fitting if Obama got up in the debate and said “Who am I and why am I here?”

    No clean coal in Tehran or terrible ads in 1929 on Roosevelt’s TV, so stand up AIG paralyzed person, have some Indian Dunkin’ Donuts, but only if you are clean and articulate and without a PhD, because that can be a problem, even though I have the highest IQ…the Vill–ahh–ges! Speaking of Villages, it takes a village, and Hillary is more qualified; get me a beer, my head hurts.

  • http://investigatebarackobama.wordpress.com/about/ kat in your hat

    You know, I watched this Brit Hume “grapevine” segment on TV, and guess who came on right afterward? Obama! Obama said, “I was enjoying listening to your report.”

    lol..

  • http://investigatebarackobama.wordpress.com/about/ kat in your hat

    Oh, and Hume was like, “Uhm, if negotiations can’t be worked out for a few days, do you really think it’s appropriate to go to Miss for a foreign affairs debate?” Obama was a lot more cautious sounding than earlier when he was like, I can do two things at once and if they need me they’ll call me. Maybe even Obama is figuring out it’s serious.

    I do want McCain to go to the debate though. Maybe a 1/3 of the debate can involve the economy, like Clinton suggested…dunno.

    I was looking for this video earlier, along with him talking about Johnson still working on Obama’s campaign. I couldn’t find either so figured I’d have to settle for the transcript that comes out tomorrow. Thank you for posting this Susan. I’m in agreement with Kat, I think Biden has a drinking problem, but I think some of these memory problems have to due with his earlier aneurysms. Although as far back as I can remember whenever I’ve heard him talk he’s always liked to expand upon a story or change it around to make it a little bit more exciting. I got a fish this big , when in reality is was more like .

  • Diana

    I’m sorry that is do not due I don’t know where my mind is.

    Letter from Obama-Biden Camp, telling News stations to take down ads from NRA.

    http://www.nraila.org/media/PDFs/ObamaLetterNRAAd.pdf

    (regular NoQ Paul has more links to this story, including the NRA ad)

    I think we may have to remind people of Obama and the Joyce Foundation; the questionaire Obama filled out on banning handguns; other gun votes he has made; and Obama’s relationship with Rainbow/ PUSH and their anti-gun work–along with Father Pfleger’s history (dozens of arrests) involving gun shop protests and death threats to gun shop owners (also, Obama got Pfleger $200,000 in earmarks.)

    McCain’s gamble
    he is answering his 3 AM call and taking risks – could be the only way to move past Obama’s media

    Obama Sends Advance Team to Meet with Ahmadinejad

    “Jodie Evans, fundraiser and personal friend of Barack Obama, met yesterday with the president of Iran, the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism. The purpose of the meeting, according to Evans, was to promote peace. Right.”
    http://paganpower.wordpress.com/2008/09/25/obama-sends-advance-team-to-meet-with-ahmadinejad/

    Ok, and we all know Jodie Evans of Code Pink has met with Hugo Chavez, and there are pictures of her smiling with him online (along with Cindy Sheehan).

  • Tristan

    Biden is playing a game that serves the US no purpose. If Bush has any diplomatic contact with Iran, Biden will call him a hypocrite. If there is no contact, Biden will instead say that the policy is not working. All that chatter does is make things tougher for both Iran and Bush.

    If he and the Democrats wanted to take the partisan hat off for a second, the answer’s actually obvious. You have some low-level contacts and see if Iran is willing to soften its stance, and if so then you can start the higher level talks to normalize relations. This is exactly how it worked with countries like Vietnam and Libya. Where Obama gets criticized, and rightly so, is that you don’t offer Iran high-level talks, especially face to face meetings with the President, when they haven’t done anything to deserve it and it doesn’t look like anything would be accomplished.

  • Above My Pay Grade

    If you think Biden is dumb, check out Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. In this video, he goes on for about 5 minutes insisting that paying taxes is “voluntary”.

  • Perry Logan

    Since Bush has been the most partisan President ever, it’s the pot calling the kettle black to accuse the Democrats of being partisan.

  • beebop

    Maybe Joey Biden is the one spreading the rumors that HRC would be replacing him on the ballot. Maybe he just wants OUT!!!! and all of this is intentional?

  • Gal from Tex

    Ya know PL I am getting GD sick and tired of your lumping all republicans as pond sucking scum. Shame on you for being so narrow minded. Ta ta.

  • Perry Logan

    But PUMA is a Democratic group. Bashing Republicans is what we do. :)

  • Amy Crunch

    that means that as he lied about his Kenyan and British Citizenships he is probably lying about his Indonesian Citizenship

    Not it does not mean that. If he lied about Kenya then it means he would be predisposed to lie about Indonesia. So far so good. But his mendacity on one issue does not mean there is reason to lie on another. They’re totally unrelated.

  • bert

    I think a better debate would be Obama debating himself. He could debate himself on his various Iraq positions, his change of heart on public financing of campaigns, why or why not NAFTA would be instructive, his various positions on FISA and privacy. This is a good list for starters.

  • Amy Crunch

    Obama prolly spent the whole time looking in the mirror and reading his fan mail from Michelle. ;)

  • Amy Crunch

    Stop calling him “father”. He’s not my father. Nor yours. He’s probably a pederast and he’s most certainly radical far left wing Marxist scum. But he’s not anyone’s father. Not even the father of the little boys they seem to revel in.

  • Amy Crunch

    Yes and the Pritzkers were involved too. Loverly. And did everyone grasp that the successor to the CAC is today chaired by a Pritzker? Small cozy world!

  • C.S.

    Thank you for this update; since we have about a month left before the election I had been wondering what was happening in the court case because GWB is positive proof that it is much harder to get an unqualified president out of office than it is to get him in.

    Those of us who still believe in a democracy protected by a vigilant free press would like to know why we still think we have a democracy when the news blackout about only one candidate is more complete than the media blackout imposed during World War II.

    The only question is WHY? What purpose is being served by ignoring the truth about a mystery guy whose current alias is Barack Obama and who got all the way to our Senate without anyone investigating his papertrail that led to citizenship in a foreign country. And yet these same people think it is terribly important to run around Alaska digging up bathing suit photos on Governor Palin.

  • Terry

    funny!

  • pasmalltowngirl

    I am a PUMA and I am also a Democrat, so you are correct on that statement. But as a Democrat and a person with morals, I do not bash someone just because they are a Republican. Makes you pretty much in the same category as an Obamabot kool-aide drinker. A person should or should not be bashed simply because of the party, race, religion, etc. that they belong to. People like you who bash someone just because they are a Republican give people like me a bad name. All this bashing and siding with a political party just because you belong to that party is what is wrong with our country. It keeps us divided, it makes us weak.

  • Amy Crunch

    There’s a good case for that. Conservative estimates are 20% of Hillary women will not vote for Obama under any circumstances. So approximately 2-4 million voters won’t budge. That’s quite a lot.

  • Sassy

    Poor Joe…he’s starting to catch it from all sides…about time!
    Even our newspaper hit Bo and Joe yesterday regarding their “double-speak” on coal.
    I don’t think it will play well in southwest Virginia!
    Also, a local guest columnist is up to speed on Rezko, Acorn, and the live birth issue.

  • workingclass artist

    RFLMAO…too funny. Biden…chuckle…is counting on the collective WIKIINTELL of his base….And given that WIKI is not as reliable as folks hope that makes sense. Of course 2/3 of the former democratic base will make up their minds at the booth & my money is not on Soterobama’s gaming hackers…chuckle…But the GOP Bubba progammers…
    Experience…chuckle….is everything….

  • churl

    Yeah and he is in the heartbeat zone. Shouldn’t McCain be funding nasty ads about his health?

  • Diana

    There goes any chance at all Sheehan had of taking Nancy’s seat. McCain won Pelosi’s district. The only thing she’ll get is the far left votes. She won’t get the moderate or the Republican votes…She won’t get the Jewish vote. Sheesh how stupid can you get when you’re planning to run for office to try and unseat an experienced candidate. Might as well get used to it, Nancy isn’t going anywhere.

  • Wake Up

    Did anyone see that Katie Couric interview with Sarah Palin? I see it was conveniently left off the threads here. Funny, no mention of Sarah anymore….

  • TeakWoodKite

    Puma Democratic? is for bashing?

    Perry there is a very strong centrist force in this country being blown off. I don’t have time to “bash”. do you?

  • PhxNickD

    To be honest here – this PUMA doesn’t feel much like belonging to a democratic group anymore.

    Thank you for your comment. I have been thinking the same thing. I have a dear friend who suffered an aneurysm and there have been some long term side effects. She is unable to remember somethings that as a Mastered Degreed person she was able to perform with ease. Biden has gotten by with saying things that are seen as “cute” or “that’s just Joe” or hearing people say “you never know what Joe will say”. My feeling about the last comment is neither does he, because there some things he may not be aware of what or how they are sounding due to the aneurysms.

    he has also had two brain operations fro aneurysms
