Botox Joe is at it again!
Thanks Ed Morrissey!
Come on now!
Will Joe Botox Biden ever tell the truth—is it possible for Botox Joe to tell the truth? And secondly, why would Joe, say-it-aint-so,—using Botox say that GWB agrees with Obama—wouldn’t that be a bad thing?
Take a look at this:
Thirdly, what is CNN doing calling O’Biden OUT on it??? Aren’t they in the tank for Obamanation?
10/25/08 Update: This just in from Malkin: Best interview of Joe Biden ever
[...] The Irascible Chef [...]
That was a great interview. Joe Biden’s answers were spot-on. I think the controversy comes because the questions were loaded, quite subjective and even at times uninformed, much like the vitriol coming from the GOP (like a vote for Obama = a new holocaust email sent to Jews in Penn.). And honestly, her questions showed no sense of objective journalism, which does nothing to bring our country together.
As a game in comparative objectives, I would love to see questions from Barbara West to the Bush Admin. regarding 1) the lies that led us to the Iraq War, 2) what the admin. knew about 9/11 threat prior to the attacks, 3) Rove and Cheney’s role in the Joe Wilson smear campaign, 4) the ridiculous rate of spending from this admin. during the last 8 years, 5) the Katherine Harris fiasco in Florida, 6) the voter-fraud issues with rigged voting machines in Ohio in 2004, 7) the “phantom” explosions and subsequent fires in the largest US armory in Iraq that went unaddressed by our military,
the suppression of the media to have footage of the Iraq war shown in the US as well as the “ban” on filming of flag-draped caskets returning home from the Middle East, 9) the cover-up of Pat Tillman’s murder, 10)the soft treatment and courting of Saudi officials over the last 8 years, 11)the Scooter Libby pardon, 12)the direct link of the Bush admin. to the specific leaders of the religious right, including Haggard and his cronies, 13) the vanishing act of Bush and Cheney over the last 6 months, 14) the inaccuracies and ommisions of the 9/11 Commisions official report, 15) the glaring inacurracies of the “scientific” explanations of the collapse of WTT 1, 2, & 7, 16)the bungling of the admin. in addressing the needs of the people after Hurricane Katrina, 17) why Cheney still refuses to follow the law with a financial disclosure that is required of all elected officials, 18) what happened to Laura Bush’s “fight” for literacy that has apparently been derailed, 19) the profits made by those in this admin. since the passing of NCLB legislation, and 20) why we deverted our military attention from Bin Laden and Afghanistan to Hussein and Iraq.
There are literally dozens more issues over the last 8 years that could use some hard hitting questions, and I would like to see how she would have approached these issues in an interview. Since Ms. West is a journalist, I would assume her approach would be just as pointed and there should be a record of her approach toward such issues over the last 8 years since she is a member of the MSM–so dig into the archives, wonks and see if this angle of questioning has ever been employed against the Bush administration over the last 8 years!!!
