To Hell With You Joe Biden.
Biden and Allen are on MTP. Russert asked Biden if he'd been wrong to vote for the IWR. Biden's response? If I'd known how incompetent they'd be.....That's a disgraceful answer. It completely evades the issues of no WMD and the manipulation of intelligence. One of the things that really bugs me about Biden, is that he's not stupid. He is, however, arrogant and in love with the sound of his own voice.

RE Allen: Man, is he stupid. Everytime I hear him speak I'm more impressed by his insipid brand of stupidity.

1. About Allen's stupidity
"Everytime I hear him speak I'm more impressed by his insipid brand of stupidity."

True. I had the exact same thought about Bush in 1999-2000 and look where we are now. As they say, who could have imagined...

No matter how stupid they seem, we have to fight them constantly and everywhere. We don't have the luxury to do anything else.

2. Thanks for the reminder
You're absolutely right. I have such contempt for stupidity, I tend to overlook the danger posed by candidates like Allen. Lord knows, I did it with bushyboy. It seemed so obvious to me, I disregarded the danger. Fortunately, Allen has a Senatorial record we can use against him. Still, we do need to remain vigilant and fight like hell.

3. Timmeh softened the question too, he said "no significant amounts of WMD"
:grr:

4. Biden. The mouth that never closes.
He's a frustrated game show host, or sports announcer, who got sidetracked into politics. He should be doing something he's qualified for, like making infomercials for hair restoration products or teeth whiteners.

13. LOL! I think MTP
needs to give Biden a job. He loves being a talking head.

5. Russert asked knowing now there were no significant WMD's
would he still vote for the IWR. Biden answered flat "No".

15. thank you
That's what I had read previously too. I will never understand why people think it helps to mis-characterize what Democrats say.

6. Biden is FOS.
A man of his intelligence had to know there were no WMDs and also that the IWR was a disgraceful document. Biden represents the ultimate blue blood corporate state, Delaware.

The IWR was a truly disgusting abdication of power by Congress and moral responsibility by the members. If you want to get nausea, just read it.

7. I've read it.
If you want to read a great response to it, read Sen. Leahy's speech before the vote.

8. What Dems should answer when asked this same tired IWR question:
Bush said he needed IWR to convince UN to get inspectors back into Iraq--all the while insisting, "War is my last resort." We now know this was not true.

Bush and Blair evidently decided in the spring of 2002 to go to war in Iraq and Bush then proceeded "to fix the intelligence around that policy."

Americans deserve a president they can trust. Bush has failed utterly in his role as Commander-in-Chief.

9. Biden is a total weasel. That is why he is on all of the cable
news show as a representative for the Dems.

11. Biden is a politician
still in office, unlike Edwards who now that he is not in office can finally be truthful, Biden must say I WAS NOT IN ERROR I AM PERFECT I WASN'T WRONG...
