2. Heard it yesterday. That was great. n/t

3. Go Joe!

He rocks. Especially the bit about magazine size being "unimportant". Ms. Block had no comeback.

4. Was a good interview. worth a listen.

I was especially struck when he said the police arrived at the Conn. School shootings within 2.5 minutes, but it was still too late, because of the speed of fire possible with 30 round ammo clips.

5. He had the facts ready to use

And used them to great effect.

6. I listened to this driving home from work yesterday

and I kept yelling, "Go Joe"!!! "Get her!!! school her"!!!!

8. And the Righties claim NPR has a liberal bias.

7. That was one of the best pieces I've heard on NPR in months

Biden was excellent, as always. Rock-solid in his arguments, entirely reasonable in his presentation, and totally non-confrontational.

His entire presentation was, in a word, unassailable.

9. Biden 2016! (nt)

10. Biden is a dangerous man to have on as a guest if the plan is to take him down a peg.

11. Yes, he gets underestimated a lot

I sometimes wonder if he encourages it. He certainly exploits people's perceptions to his advantage.

12. It's the smile that does it.

The same smile Joe uses while he slices your position to ribbons with a wit and intellect sharper than a straight razor, making you look like a fool as he does so.
