Would An Abacus Help To Accurately Count Jobs “Recovered”? »

Recently, Vice President Biden reported that the Stimulus Program had created a huge number of jobs. If you have 41 minutes to spend to watch him - what the hell is the matter with you?? Oh, no wait - sorry. Ahem. I meant to say, if you have the time, you [...]

Obama Lets the Cat Out of the Bag »

Yesterday President Obama stuck his foot in it. It was a gaffe worthy of Vice President Biden! But let your mind not be troubled. I don’t think he noticed. He seems to struggle with the first half of his message, but delivers big at the end.
H/T to Hot Air [...]

Needed: A Vice Presidential Seal »

It’s time to slap an official seal on our Vice President’s yapper. This otherwise likeable guy is also a one-man blooper extravaganza.
Now he’s done it again. But this time it isn’t as laughoffable as asking a man in the wheelchair to stand up and take a bow. Or as whacky as telling [...]

A Different Kind Of Happy Hour **Open Thread** »

There’s been a whole lot in the news of late about the “Happy Hour Heard ‘Round The World.” You know the one - Sgt. Crowley, Prof. Henry Gates, President Obama, and the party-crashed Joe Biden, sitting down like some regular Joes, just having a brew. Oh, yeah, just hanging out, tossing back a [...]

The President Slams His Sycophants, His Policies and His Staff at Dinner »

President Obama spoke at the TV and Radio Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday, where some of his jokes reflected a greater attachment to truth than he finds necessary in any of his speeches or press conferences. Although, like his predecessor, who chose to joke about looking for WMDs under the podium when delivering a speech, [...]

“everyone guessed wrong” »

On Sunday’s Meet the Press Joe Biden defended the $787 billion economic stimulus spending bill pushed through Congress, but said that “everyone guessed wrong” on the impact it would have.

Bill Maher Complains About Obama – Chicken Little, The Sky Has Truly Fallen [Updated with Video] »

Much as I hate giving Bill Maher press, I just can’t help myself. His article, Enough with the Obamathon, appearing in the Friday LA Times, lets us share our first up close and personal glimpse of Mr. Maher’s head exploding as he exhibits growing irritation with his messiah…:
President Obama should just join the cast [...]

Biden’s Headed For the Woodshed »

Joe’s off the reservation again! Pat Buchanan predicts that Joe Biden will be in the White House woodshed today. I’d pay to see that! UPDATE: Now the White House is claiming that Biden was referring solely to people who don’t feel well. Pathetic.
NBC NY: “Vice president Joe Biden said today he would tell [...]

Deep Thoughts … From Joe Biden »

Biden predicted Obama’s “genius”
President “a cross between Denzel Washington and Franklin Roosevelt”
Amusingly enough, after Biden got buried by a “plagiarism row,” and had to drop out of the 1988 presidential race when he “borrowed” heavily from Lord Neil Kinnock’s speech, the two men became pals. Lord Kinnock swears that, in 2007, Joe Biden predicted [...]

Motor Mouth Joe’s Telepathic Certitude »

Uh oh. Someone let go of the leash. God bless you if you can make it through all 23 minutes of Wolf Blitzer’s and Gloria Borger’s interview of Vice President Joe Biden on CNN. I couldn’t stomach it. But the take-away sound bite left my jaw on the floor. You NEVER [...]

Ceteris Paribus »

Economic and budgetary analysis by their very nature often employ a “ceteris paribus” approach or similarly base line assumptions. Ceteris paribus, translated as “all other things being equal,” or base line assumptions are necessary given the fact that economic analysis has so many variables. Well, let me share with you that ceteris are NEVER paribus [...]

Blunderheaded Biden Bloviates, Boot in Bibacious Big Blimp of a Mouth »

I’ve gone alliteration mad from reading this piece produced by Jake Tapper that actually requires NO commentary. Read and — oh god — do not SIP anything before you read this. I hope you have 911 in your telephone on auto-dial:
Political Punch: At Capitol, Biden Feeling Great Because He ‘Doesn’t Have to Do [...]

Hillary »

I do not think that Hillary Clinton is being marginalized, yet.

In her first trip abroad since taking office, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will travel to Asia, departing Washington, DC on February 15. Secretary Clinton will visit Japan (February 16-18), Indonesia (February 18-19), the Republic of Korea (February 19-20), and China (February 20-22).

As she [...]

Joe Biden, Now Under Obama’s Bus, Joins Us For Some Bitter Burgers and Arugula * Open Thread »

Toby Harnden at the Telegraph reports this little missive, Barack Obama Throws Joe Biden Under the Bus. Well, we all knew this was coming, too, didn’t we? Vice President Biden may be a human gaffe machine, but at least he calls it like he sees it, which, frankly I appreciate — even if [...]

Meet Obama’s Joshua DuBois, And Ask Yourselves: “WHY Is Secularist Kathryn Kolbert Surprised?” »

Who is Joshua DuBois, you ask (pictured here with Obama)? Well, he is the 26 yr old Obama tagged to be the Director of Obama’s new Faith Based Office. Yes, this 26 yr old Pentecostal pastor, without any formal seminary training, who, from his “resume” has done little more than go to school, [...]

“The Impending Obama Meltdown” »

Earlier in the week, one of my aunts sent me a piece by Victor Davis Hanson, The Impending Obama Meltdown (SusanUnPC also included this article in her excellent piece, “Is Barack Obama On The Precipice Of Becoming Jimmy Carter?“). I don’t want to be premature, but maybe, just maybe, there are some journalists coming [...]

Hillary Clinton Sworn In as Our Secretary of State »

(OF NOTE: In the next post, you’re going to learn about some of Secretary Clinton’s major plans for travel and negotiations. It’s all quite fascinating.)

Swearing-in Ceremony February 02, 2009
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State
Washington, DC
(Applause.) Thank you all very much. Thank you. It is an overwhelming honor to be sworn in to assume this position [...]

Why Start Now? »

To expect Obama to speak out against his minion’s boorish, often aggressive behavior? That’s my response to the following article, The Ugly Side of the Inauguration: Obamamania’s Mean Streak (and MAJOR H/T to American Girl in Italy for this link). The author, Mr. Frederick, had this to say:
Ironic that on Inauguration Day, when [...]

Open Mouth, Insert Foot - Joe Biden is Free at last »

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0109/17139.html
So, Politico says that our old friend Joe is already making good on his promise to liven up the gossip in DC.

Joe Biden hasn’t said much in public since the election, but one of Washington’s most prolific talkers is back – and making news whenever he speaks.

In fewer than five minutes on Tuesday, Biden criticized [...]

Sorry, This Seat Is Taken »

Have you ever heard of Charles Kaufman? Me either, until very recently. But his butt is about to roost in Joe Biden’s Senate seat, keeping it warm for Biden’s son to take it over in 2010.
Charles Krauthammer describes Kaufman in as “a family retainer whom no one ever heard of before yesterday. [...]
