Pull The Hair Plug On This Guy

Biden also gave a long speech at the debate on vice president Dick Cheney's "dangerous" belief that "he's part of the legislative branch." The great constitutional scholar Biden cited Article I of the Constitution as proof that Cheney "works in the executive branch" and has "no authority relative to the Congress." Biden huffily added: "He should understand that. Everyone should understand that."

Palin would have had to deny that Alaska is a state in the union in order to say something comparably stupid.

Article II, not I, describes the executive branch. Someone tell Biden, who is supposed to be a lawyer. Apart from getting the Articles of the Constitution mixed up, what on earth does Biden mean when he says that the vice president "has no authority relative to Congress," apart from breaking ties?

The Constitution makes him president of the senate every day of the week. I realize that Biden may not be able to count to two, but Article I says the vice president is president of one of the two houses of Congress -- the one Biden is in, for crying out loud -- which is what you might call "authority relative to Congress."

Somebody please tell me that Biden wasn't picked for the Democrat ticket based on his knowledge of the Constitution.

It is frustrating to live in a country with a press so in the tank for one party that they try and cover up the constant stream of lies and exaggerations of the walking gaffe machine, Joe Biden. He is embarrassing. He is in fact what the press used to claim Dan Quayle was. What should be humiliating to anyone in the press is that they smeared Day Quayle and they were wrong. They don't smear Joe Biden for actual incompetence and they are even more wrong.

It is the effectiveness with which Ann Coulter tears Democrats apart that makes them so angry at her. This is what all writers of integrity should be saying about Biden . . . but few besides Ann are willing to say.
