It's no accident that "Hollywood" Joe Biden is on TV every Sunday
BushCo's media operatives know "Hollywood" Joe is much more interested in a regular Sunday slot in fromt of the camera than he is rocking the boat. WHEN are Democrats going to insist on some DISCIPLINE of guys like Biden? Dean and/or Reid should make sure these guys are prepared if they are on and that they stay on message and ATTACK! If they don't they should face every bit of sanctioning available now and in the future.

1. I've written so much to those Sunday show, asking if we could hear
voices other than his on Sundays!

I don't know if I can write anymore.....


To date, there has been no let-up.

4. Maybe people should write to Biden and ask him not to appear anymore
instead give it over to Feingold or Clark or someone who isn't about to boot lick for the Bushies.

7. Wouldn't that be something?
Fightin' and progressive Dems keeping the record straight!

But you know, considering the state of our media, that can only be our fantasy!

Who does the scheduling anyways? I mean, why Biden all of the damn time?

Biden, McCain, Biden, McCain, etc., etc., etc....

5. The Joe Brothers get media oxygen precisely because they are
reliable "good Democrats" for the Republican corporate media. They can be counted on to provide a safe contrarian opinion outside the mainstream Party. For that, they continue to get asked back as the token Democrat on the weekly news shows. They know how to perform their quid pro quo.

Sad, really, they've put their personal political fortunes ahead of the rest of the Party...and in so doing, have helped to empower Republicans in their agenda to ruin this country.

8. He was on with Franken a couple of days ago...kept bloviating
about he had asked this question and that question about Iraq, about how he had visited and it was getting WORSE WORSE WORSE, how he asked Bush about Iraq and never got an answer and Cheney was there...all he was doing was namedropping and showing off, as usual.

And then Franken says: I hope we can have you on more often, you know so much about what is going on over there!

PUKE!!!!!

11. I thought I heard him say "Inviting Joe Biden is great when I need a rest"
In other words Al could just hang back, chill out and let him yammer on. Joe does love to hear himself speak.

9. He was pushing his hair transplants on NPR with Terry Gross last week and
falling all over apologizing about how the Dems "just can't do anything because they don't have a voice as a minority party." More excuses.

Plus DLC's Bob Shrum was on Blitzie or Tweety on Friday...pushing his DLC whiny stuff.

They don't send anyone good out...because they hope to lose again. After all they are happy being the "Minority Party." They couldn't even support their first two term President since Roosevelt they were so beholden to the Repugs and the Lobbyists. :puke:

13. Woo-Hoo, Vinnie!
I agree with every word!

Biden must be stopped!..... even if heh's thrown in a locked closet every Friday afternoon until Monday morning. He's a self-aggrandizing blow-hard who loves the sounf od his own voice over the good of the Party.
