Woohoo. Biden just opened a big can of whoop-ass,

[rateyes]

and is going to keep pouring the contents of it all over "his friend" McCain.

:woohoo:

Gotta love it.

[thepurpose]

1. Yes sir. He did.

[tekisui]

2. Did you hear that?......JohnniePow just crapped himself.

[Vinca]

3. I loved the kitchen table joke. nt

[rateyes]

12. Hey, Vinca!

:hi:

I love how Olbermann said that McCain hit over the head with a kitchen table leg. :rofl:

[Pushed To The Left]

4. Biden Rocks! n/t

[liberalmuse]

5. "Swiftboating"

That was just awesome!

[JustAnotherGen]

6. My friends

I love it! :rofl:

KO is telling it like it is . . . Biden put the words 'Swift Boating' and 'McCain' in one sentence.

Game on mo fos! :rofl:

[rateyes]

14. Yeah, that was priceless. nt

[Eurobabe]

20. LOL. Excellent assessment.

:applause:

[mcctatas]

7. Best line...

and of course it escapes me, but the gist of it was that we don't need a good soldier, we need a strong leader. Rock On Joe!!!!

[democrat2thecore]

9. Absolutely - I agree ----nt

[jillan]

8. Biden called McCain out on 'swiftboating'!

[Virginia Dare]

30. Sweet wasn't it?

he's not pulling any punches, this is what we've been waiting for.

[C_U_L8R]

10. The Pukes have no choice now

but to come at em with everything they got.
And all they got is spitballs and phantom swiftboats.

We are going to crush them, very deservedly.

[I Dreamtoomuch_2]

21. yep

[blondie58]

40. welcome to DU, I Dreamtoomuch!

[nc4bo]

11. After seeing Biden today, I have no doubt the repugs have every right to be scared shitless

I can smell the fear in the air.

[Diamonique]

13. That speech was a beauty!

GAME ON!

[rateyes]

32. I guess McBush thought that calling him on the phone to

congratulate him earlier would keep down the attacks on Joe's "friend" John.

:rofl:

[WheelWalker]

39. He was on fok'n FIRE!

[Ilsa]

15. Here's another can for him, when he's ready to pouce again.

[rateyes]

17. We gotta keep 'em stocked with a boatload of these cans.

[JerseygirlCT]

16. I'm thinking this is a bottomless can

Doesn't it sort of feel like a relief? We've got the guy in place now who can convincingly go on the attack and make all the points that need to be made - and do with a sense of humor, too?

I'm loving it.

[wishlist]

18. Their vibe at today's rally reminded me of Clinton/Gore vs GHW Bush

Joe Biden brings home the populist message we need to win.

[DevonRex]

19. This is gonna be fun. nt

[stuntcat]

22. let the whoop-ass flow!

:headbang:

[bushisanidiot]

23. Damn, right!

:)

[Fleshdancer]

24. I'm going to love love LOVE Biden in the debates

His speech today was perfect! I literally laughed out loud on the 7 kitchen tables joke. :rofl:

One minor note: Notice how he managed to say his wife was beautiful without pimping her in a stripper pageant? Guys, this is the way we like to be flattered. ;)

[rateyes]

28. Drop-dead gorgeous!

And, good point. :hi:

[Top Cat]

25. Joe's the man

[quaker bill]

26. That is whup-ass

y'all gotta live down south to get the spellin' right.

[rateyes]

27. I'm in Georgia.

Of course I grew up in Tennessee, went to school in Texas, and worked for a while in Virginia...so perhaps it's the Yankee in me. :D

[quaker bill]

36. I do agree with the sentiment

A big ol' can of whup-ass has indeed been opened.

[Virginia Dare]

29. Kicked his ass and took his name...

way to go, Joe!....:bounce:

[rateyes]

33. And, then kicked his ass again. nt

[Demi_Babe]

31. yes he did

[mvd]

34. Loved the rally!

They flubbed some lines but it really sounded like it was in the joy of the moment. Biden was great on tying McCain to Bush.

[opihimoimoi]

35. The Dynamic Duo Combo gonna kill them Pubs no end...McDiapers gonna need backup supply

I love it

[WheelWalker]

37. Biden is on fuck'n FIRE! He GETS it !

[Overseas]

38. Exactly. And he knows how much that friend has changed since the old maverick days.

I'm hoping Biden can shake some people up who are still clinging to the outdated maverick image of JSM III.

He can tell them, as someone who watched JSM III change, just how serious the deviations have been.

He can assure some of those clinging to the old image that certainly, the Republicans can find footage of Democrats praising McCain because he USED TO be different.

But over the past eight years, JSM III has voted with Bush and praised his policies. That is a whole new McCain.

Biden can share how disappointed he has been to see the former torture victim letting the administration lead this country into that horrible territory.

He can share his shock at how McCain could possibly have expressed optimism at the depressed economy the Bush war profiteering has engendered.

Biden has seen from the inside the demise of the dear old maverick. That John McCain is gone. Now we have the unadulterated aristocratic son & grandson of Admirals who has a net worth of $40 million, 7 to 10 homes, and a second wife with $100 million more.

[jazzjunkysue]

41. Right., Biden is there to say, "This is how a statesman should be: Still alive and kicking!"

He's almost more effective at aging gramps than Barack is.

The GOp just wish these guys were theirs.
