Getting our Reputation Back
'f we have a Democratically controlled Congress next year, of what use in restoring our global reputation will the clueless Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi be? Maybe Biden can find time to tutor them.'

1. I'm finding it so interesting that SO MANY people are singing Biden's praises
these days. Where was the support when he needed it?

Thanks for the link, ellen!

6. I'm with you Gately!
But it is good to hear it. This country will come to see their mistake, even if most will never admit it.

2. Why is no one talking JOE as Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid is a weak sister. He needs to go.

3. Dunno, 48,
but maybe because he's ALREADY got a very important job.

And did I hear he's senior on judiciary? Wish I knew what all these responsibilities include.

9. It makes him a powerful
and intimidating voice in hearings. Some of my best memories of Joe were during hearings and watching republican assholes sweat under his direct and formidable questioning.

5. I'd like to see Dodd as Sen Majority Leader -- he's earned it. And we really
DO need Joe to stay as Chairman of the SFRC -- I think that trumps it. And yes, he's still on the judiciary committee, which is weighty, too.

8. At least he's getting much deserved credit
Small consolation, but he has important work to do and can use all the recognition and support he can get.
