Quote of the Day

Vice-president-elect Joe Biden likened the country’s economic crisis to the attacks of 9/11 Monday in a private meeting on Capitol Hill.

“We’re at war,” Biden told congressional leaders of both parties during their sit-down with Barack Obama in the Capitol, according to two sources familiar with the exchange.

It’s not the first time the vice-president-elect has used stark language to underscore the perilous state of the economy.

(emphasis ours)

If your definition of “stark” happens to be synonymous with “idiotic”, “irresponsible” and “over-the-top”, then yes, perhaps “we’re at war”.

Rahm Emmanuel is credited with saying “don’t waste a crisis” and it certainly looks like Clueless Joe is taking that to heart and will be serving up gems like this for at least the next four years or whenever it is that we win “the war”.
