the other guy

From the NYT

Meanwhile, the Other No. 2 Keeps On Punching [Himself]

FLAT ROCK, Mich. — As the economy reels, Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. — the Other Running Mate — has been absolutely butchering Senator John McCain across the Rust Belt this week. It is not clear who has noticed.[nobody noticed]

...

The older woman who introduced him at a rally here called Mr. Biden’s Republican counterpart, Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, a “bucket of fluff,” and he rewarded the woman as he took the microphone with an “I love you” and a gentle kiss on the head.

[What a sexist pig.]

...

The Obama campaign was hoping to reintroduce Mr. Biden this week as running mate attack dog. But his penchant for verbal rambling ensured that much of the attention he drew was unwanted: he said wealthy Americans had a “patriotic” duty to pay more taxes, a remark the McCain campaign mocked relentlessly.

[Joe, go remind your fellow Democrat, Mr Rangel, to do his patriotic duty, on time, not just when caught red-handed.]

...

“People got to wake up, because these guys in Washington are raping this country,” said Dave McLimans, a steelworker from Coatesville, Pa., who attended the rally in Media. “Joe Biden talks in a way that can wake people up.”

[wake up Mr McLimans, Joe Biden has been in the US Senate for the last 35 years - he is one of  'these guys in Washington'.

Bob Hope was correct, Democrats are vombies.]

...

He barely mentions the Alaska governor in speeches; in the interview, he described her as “a very attractive political personality” who can “really deliver a political message.”

[A damn good political message. ]

...

Mr. Biden retains his regal senatorial bearing even in gritty settings of the campaign trail. On Wednesday, he wore a pressed blue blazer with a hanky folded smartly into the breast pocket. His skin is perma-tanned, and his smile is shiny white. He has his own big entourage now — own bus, own plane. He conveys the giddy sense of a man who has won a political lottery, or been plucked from an elite purgatory.

[Joe Biden, an elistist snob, part of the Washington incrowd. A big part of the problem in DC.]

...

“Remember, no one decides who they’re going to vote for based on the vice president,” he said. “I mean that literally.”

[Well Joe,

Barack Obama's wimpy choice of you, shows his arrogant stupidity, and makes it easier to vote against your ticket.

John McCain's brillant choice of Governor Sarah Palin, really makes it easier for me to vote for McCain/Palin.

So, the Vice-Presidential choice does matter, literally.]
