Smack of the Day

Ladies and gentlemen, you can't stop Joe Biden. In fact, you cannot even hope to contain him.



Going ad lib at the Air Force Academy commencement exercises last week, you get the sense dude is a little tired of being the butt of gaffe-master jokes (is it out of the realm of possibility to imagine that jokester himself, David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel cracking wise about him in Biden's presence) and that there may be a little tension between himself and his boss.

Wobble, Wobble, Wobble....

Here’s the video with the remark everyone is talking about. You know, the “Lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig” comment.



Did Suit say that as an intentional insult toward Sarah Palin or was he just going off-script with a well-worn homespun saying (note the rolled-up sleeves – always a good leading indicator for impending folksy homilies and “my Grandmother always taught me..” moments)?

Giving Suit the benefit of the doubt, for a moment, check out the reaction from the crowd. They would appear to be in on the joke whether Suit knew he was serving one up or not. Also, knowing full well what a hit the soccer mom/pitbull/lipstick line was for Palin, Suit would have to be among a distinguished handful of dumbest politicians alive to make that remark purposefully intended as a swipe at Palin. And, obviously, we know that’s not the case.

We’ll even defend Suit, as best we can, regarding his “My Muslim faith” comment. In the context of responding to his detractors what we believe he meant to say was “My alleged Muslim faith”.

But good lord… this is now the 3rd time thus far this week (including his incoherent advocacy of the Fannie and Freddie bailout) where he has been separated from his teleprompter and where people are left scratching their head and saying “What was this guy thinking?”

Its been a bad week for the Democrats dating back to Palin’s acceptance speech and though we don’t want to say the wheels are coming off its readily apparent that the Democrats have been stricken with possibly a terminal case of Palin Derangement Syndrome.

Check out Steve Cohen (D-TN) going green.



Fertilizing the floor of that whore house also known as the House of Representatives with repeated Kos comments is indeed our idea of “recycling”.

We’re one day shy of 8 weeks left in this election cycle and to say they’re handling the Sarah Palin Experience poorly would be a gross understatement. Unless they suddenly embrace a little of The One’s “new politics”, the outlook does not appear too rosy, right now.

Someone please get this man a teleprompter!

In response to the ongoing military crisis in Georgia, President Bush called for action by the U.N. stating, “We should continue to push for a United Nations Security Council Resolution calling for an immediate end to the violence.”

What a dope. Doesn’t the man realize that Russia, as a permanent member of the Security Council, has veto power on any Security Council resolution? Each time you think the man can’t say anything more ridiculous… bam! There he goes again…

What? What’s that? It was Obama that actually said that? Oh… well, never mind then.
