Bahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
And you want this guy over Palin?
Here is what he said...
“When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the princes of greed. He said, ‘look, here’s what happened.’”
REALLY? They had TV in 1929?
AND..... FDR was not president until 32'.
Come on people really, take your foot and put it into your mouth please.

Palin has balls? I guess that backs up the statements about her being George Bush in a dress.
Back to the topic, yes, Biden had a gaffe. He has many. So does John McCain. Remember him confusing Sunnis and Shiites and his advisors whispering the correction in his ear during the press conference?
Point is, I'll take Biden's extensive experience as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee over Palin's "I can see Russia with binoculars from my backyard" bullshit any day.
wonder how many here would find it hilarious and cool if palin misspoke like this.
its okay if I do it, I am not a politician

I certainly would I don't take ANY of this political banter too seriously. Palin has her battles to contend with and we shall see how she does. I think she'll do just fine, she has surprised many before and she'll do it again.
Peace

But seriously ... if either Palin or McCain had said this, election over. Palin would be painted as an idiot; McCain would be tarred and feathered as too senile to tear ticket stubs at the movie theater.
I guess here is where Obama should thank his lucky stars the press doesn't give a shit about Joe Biden.
for the least they could possibly do
It's actually pretty funny. Biden can basically say whatever he wants, however horribly wrong or offensive and no one gives a shit. It's amazing how much he is ignored thus far, both when he says good things and bad.
I guess there is a curse to being such a celeberity hit like Palin. With fame comes intense scrutiny.
For now, I'm glad no one is paying attention to Biden.
um, i don't think he meant that fdr was on television. :rolleyes: he was referring to what's going on now, and comparing it to how fdr handled things then.
and the market "crash" happened in 1929, but the fallout was still happening by the time of the first fdr term.
not real complicated. i'm sure anyone with a passing understanding of history can grasp what biden was saying.
unless you don't know what the bush doctrine is, or that foreign policy involves more than seeing a country from your porch, or if you don't believe in evolution. then following simple conversations like the one above could be daunting, i guess.
so, to answer your question, for a myriad of reasons, yeah, i'm liking biden over palin. and over mccain. hell, i even like him over obama, but i'll take what i can get.

So when Biden says something stupid, it's "Well, he didn't mean it they way he said it."
When Palin says something stupid, it's, "She's obviously an idiot."
Ohhhhhhhhkay ....
Look, if this were Biden's first "wtf?" moment of this campaign ... or ever ... I might give him the benefit of the doubt. But frankly, he's been a gaffe machine since Day 1. He'd probably be better off just sticking to plagiarism.
for the least they could possibly do
When Biden says crap like this, it's nothing new. When Palin says something stupid, it's news because the freakin' campaign won't let her talk to anyone without a script... Not much chance of a gaffe there.
And to your comment earlier about if McCain said this the campaign would be over - bullshit... he has made one after another in this campaign, and last I checked he was still neck and neck with Obama.

Ah, karma. Biden can screw up endlessly and it doesn't matter one bit :-)
Four turds wearing different hats and one with a skirt. All turds, nonetheless.
she's in waaaaaaaaaaaay over her head ... she's going thru 20 years of education in 12 weeks ...
criticize biden or obama all ya want but if you think palin is qualified to be vp - my only conclusion would be that you are truly blinded by partisanship or a religious zealot ...
That's funny. That's kind of what I think about Obama's qualifications to be president (you know, the guy in the Big Office).
Except replace the phrase "religious zealot" with "baby killer"
for the least they could possibly do
good stuff
uhh ... you don't think he's qualified because of his stand on issues ... i don't think she's qualified because she doesn't know anything ... huge difference ...

Subject: Post Turtle
While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year old Texas rancher whose
hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up
conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to
Sarah Palin and her bid to be a heartbeat away from being President .
The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Palin is a post turtle.'
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a post
turtle was.
The old rancher said, 'When you're driving down a country road and
you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a
post turtle.'
The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he
continued to explain. 'You know she didn't get up there by herself,
she doesn't belong up there, she doesn't know what to do while she is
up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb idiot put her up there
to begin with.
One Lou Costello each, for Obama and McCain's Bud Abbott.
