RNC To Highlight Biden's "Gaffes"

23 Aug 2008 05:07 pm
A Republican official says that the Republican National Committee plans to unveil a "Biden Gaffe Clock" to show off the Democratic vice presidential nominee's propensity for wordiness.

First up: "Barack America." Biden said that today. (The crowd in Springfield corrected him.)

So far, the McCain-RNC crowd has limited its criticism to Sen. Obama; after all, McCain and Biden are friends. No longer.

(An Obama spokesman: " RNC staffers shouldn't throw stones from their 7 glass houses."

2. I see a meme developing. McCain's camp always inserts some lame "celebrity"
comment in every response. I have a feeling the "house" gaffe will make it into a lot of Obama responses.

7. I like the sound of "Barack America"
Who would've thought someone called Barack Hussein Obama could be the POTUS!

As he always says: "Only in America"!

8. Great response.
"Mcpane" would all ready be out of the game if the MSM wouldn't keep looking the other way.

32. Clocks in Heaven
Humor Section

Heaven's Clocks

A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, "what are all those clocks?"

St. Peter answered, "those are Lie-Clocks, everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move."

"Oh," said the man, "whose clock is that?"

"That's Mother Teresa's, the hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie."

"Incredible," said the man, "and whose clock is that one?"

St. Peter responded, "that's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life."

"Where's Bush's clock?" asked the man.

"Bush's clock is in Jesus' office - he's using it as a ceiling fan."

21. So when creepy, grumpy McInsane says get off my lawn you rude little whipper-snappers.
He means all 11 lawns.


The count of McInsanes' houses was up to 11 on Olbermann the other day.

33. This has to be confusing to McCain. He can't figure out how many houses he has...
cause some of them are only on one piece of property.

29. sad that these count for "gaffes"
When Mittens and Jindal drawing complete blanks (which in unacceptable, since they are TOP surrogates...no comparison to Kirk Watson who was just a supporter) on questions supposedly do not count as gaffes.
