The force is strong in this one



Two things. First, I've always been a Colbert guy, but every once in a while the Daily Show hits the nail on the head. Biden is clearly a loose cannon, who plagiarized as a law student at Syracuse University, before becoming the youngest member of the Senate. A buddy of mine that is in SU Law School told me that a professor of his told his class that he'd tell them how Biden was as a student, but he never went to class. I find it interesting that Obama chose him because back in the primary Biden took a lot of heat for calling Obama "the first mainstream African American candidate who is articulate and bright and clean.." Obviously the man is very smart to have made it to where he is. And let's be honest here, out of the 4 in question, is he not the one that most Americans can relate to? Let's look at the other 3. A black man? No. A POW who grew up in a military family? No. A woman from Alaska? No. I think the white guy who slacked off in college and went to law school is more up my alley.

Secondly, Palin is being kept under raps because she is inexperienced when it comes to national and international politics, which isn't the worst thing in the world. The connection to Cheney is great. I still remember how Cheney was so secretive that he removed his house from Google Earth. Like really? Who uses Google Earth for more than 20 minutes the first time they download it? Tonight's debate should be interesting, but it shouldn't have much of an effect on the election. This whole one heartbeat away from the presidency is a bunch of nonsense. When's the last time a president died in office? Kennedy. Actually, maybe this time it isn't nonsense because if Obama gets elected you know there's going to be one crazy redneck that makes an assination attempt. Maybe Obama should have selected Hilary because then at least he'd have some insurance because some people might think a black man is more apt to be president than a woman.
