The article has a couple of things Biden said and did that haven't been reported elsewhere, that I've seen.

1. I saw that somewhere - maybe here? Maybe on my Google Alerts?

Anyway, it's my hope that they'll start swinging back to covering Joe now that the bloom is fading from Palin's rose.

My best friend just phoned me and he started by hollering "Did you know she like about firing the cook, too?"
He's been watching KO and Rachel. :7 As you probably know, but I didn't KO is sending a donation to the Alaska Special Olympics for every lie that Palin's caught in. I love that!

2. $3700 yesterday.

That was awesome that Keith did that, and you can be sure that Special Olympics of Alaska is very grateful for Palin's lies :)


Such a great organization. Jenny did it one year. For one weekend, kids who are challenged get to feel like they are on top of the world. They are all winners there, and at the end they have a huge banquet with a live band for all the participants. And that is the organization Moosehead chose to cut funds. I fucking hate her more and more each day.

3. Me, too -- hate her more each day. How could any caring, compassionate

person cut funds for such a program? :grr:

And her snotty attitude is getting to me, too.

4. to hell with the snarky media, I love the quotes from people in swing states! :

“People got to wake up, because these guys in Washington are raping this country,” said Dave McLimans, a steelworker from Coatesville, Pa., who attended the rally in Media. “Joe Biden talks in a way that can wake people up.”
...
But his reviews are generally good from voters, some who came in unconvinced about Mr. Obama.
...
“Biden is a guy who I really believe, who really seems like he is going to help us out,” said Sheryl Kline, a loader for the United Parcel Service who attended a rally in Maumee, Ohio. “He sounds like someone who knows how we’re struggling.”

and the stuff at the end about trying to meet w/ McCain - wow - I wonder if that's where the added fire of Joe against John is coming from??
