LOL The population of Wattsburg PA in 2007 was 348. Thanks for the laugh 🙂
@Richard: What was the percent of Auburn New York that showed up to see Sarah?
The joke is on you pal. First, for voting for such a dunderhead and second, for your lame attempt to defend him.

GO JOE, GETOTTAHERE YA BUM!
GO SARAH, ALL THE WAY TO WASHINGTON!
(Hey, it almost rhymes)
So, of those hundred, how many were staff, reporters and security?
@Richard: “Ah, yes, the nation is getting restless. Joe, I want you to go to Wattsburg, the political hot spot of the nation, to get our message out.” – O’Blunder
Thanks for the laugh, Richard.
(More likely his handlers were saying, “Where can we send that buffoon so he’ll cause the least trouble?”
And, I’m guessing that the folks in Erie, Pa (population 280,843 in 2008, and only a 40 minute drive away) weren’t invited? because if they were….might of had 102.
Richard: I can say with certainty that if the crowd had been too large with lines out the door of people wanting to get in you would be among the first to “spin” how popular Biden is. It’s clear the opposite is true.
This isn’t the first time Biden has been a lackluster draw.
You’re the one spinning here and I suggest you sit down before you get dizzy and fall down.
Perhaps the event was merely underpromoted? Perhaps Biden could have used a few more plugs?
Heh.

Mike, why do you assume to know exactly the way I thinking? Biden being in Wattsburg in the first place is ridiculous. But again, it’s the comparison of the two. It’s like saying there are more people in my house right now than on the moon. And people thought I was washed up!
Biden: Israel has right to deal with nuclear Iran – Mon Jul 6, 2009 1:36am EDT
Israel has a sovereign right to decide what is in its best interest in dealing with Iran’s nuclear ambitions whether the United States agrees or not, U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said in an interview on Sunday
Biden is lacking the good sense that God gave a crowbar. He needs to get his talking points straight with the Regimes Party Line before speaking engagements. To be quite frank with you I would not walk across the street to hear him. Anyone who over 30 that believes that FDR addressed the Nation on 8 December, 1941 on television is an idiot. Anyone that gave that statement is an idiot.
Anyone that belives that Israel will sit idly by while Iran weaponizes plutonium for delivery by any means is a fool. Even the Saudis fear that threat.
Obama will not “meddle” in Iran’s Thuggery but endorses a tyrant that was Constitutionally removed from office by the Honduran Government. The current Regime in America is a bad joke. The joke is on Us.
Biden’s Foreign Policy experience is less than Hillary Clinton’s. At least she landed under fire, dodged bullets in Bosnia and her Domestic Policy experience is better than Obama’s. She has visited all 57 States. It would be amusing if these Buffoons were in positions of authority in someone else s country. It is embarrassing that the American voting public selected these fools to run My Country.

Sarah Palin communicates with regular every day ordinary working Americans in a way Obama, Biden, Clinton, Pelosi, Reid and most Congress-Critter-Lifers can not. With rising unemployment, savings and investments disappearing, inflation looming, more taxes, expensive alternative energy forced on us,……
Americans don’t want to hear about saving the planet and being loved and respected by foreign countries, what about saving America, our livelyhood and our way of life.
Here’s how I see it, as President Obama takes a break from date night excursions, vacationing with family, entertaining elites, holding czar councils and flies in on AF1 and motorcades to towns and cities across America to support the re-election of Democrats and to read from his teleprompter how we must all have some ‘skin in the game’ cause he ‘inherited this mess’… President Obama, a guy who is running our country on borrowed money and talks in terms of trillions of dollars in debt like its no big deal and we should re-elect his majority in Congress so he can carry on his world apology/borrow and spend agenda.
Meanwhile Sarah Palin who has balanced a budget, who knows the cost and concerns of raising a family, the pains of getting to and from work, kids school activities, family excursions when gas prices are roller coasting, inflation hits the household budget, taxes are rising and you may not have your job next month. Many/most Americans can relate to having family in the military, teenage children, infants with special needs, giving support to a single parent.. life and family concerns that is Americans prime concerns.
I think that when Sarah Palin talks to Americans she will be offering common sense and plain speaking which is going to show Obama’s bail out policy for what it is a payback in a pay to play scheme.
.
Perhaps now that you’ve emerged from the shelter of your slime covered rock you will finally address the baseless accusation of hatred and bigotry you leveled against Mike here.
Strangely, you scurried away without addressing my posts or answering the lingering questions.
Why is that Richard?

Hey Mike, did Biden have a teleprompter? If no, then there’s your answer. Word got out that his gig was only half a ticket and folks were really coming to hear the teleprompter. You know, Barry’s is famous now and all, with it’s own blog.
On a serious note, thank you for the great article by Roger Stone on Sarah Palin. That’s the most favorable item I’ve read in the last few days (well, besides Flopping Aces), and I for one appreciate it!! My patience is being sorely tested when hearing some, not all, in her own party (never mind the obvious leftists) telling her to just be quiet!!! Hrmphf!!!! In other words, that’s poppycock, IMHO.

I’d go see Joe Biden talk……….odd are that he’d say something REALLY stupid!
I’d even pay money to ask him a question. You could EASILY trick that dummy up. He does not even realize his own idiocy.
Professional politicians and political journalists don’t waste energy on political corpses. They reserve their energy — positive or negative — for viable politicians.
Thus, an intriguing part of the Sarah Palin phenomenon is the intensity of response to her every word and move — from both Republican and Democratic Party professionals and from the conventional media. The negative but sustained passion being expressed by the professional Washington political class against her tends to belie its almost unanimous assertion that she is washed up.

I didn’t vote for Obama or for Biden, but in the case of Biden, he is one guy I truly and genuinely like and feel sorry for. I don’t agree with his politics, but somehow I get the feeling that Obama selected him to be the butt of the jokes and maybe to humor the angry white male. I am being facetious. But I feel sorry for him in that it must be really galling to a man of his stature to be so overshadowed by a young, inexperienced president whose main qualifications is the gift of gab (which Biden prizes himself highly for) and the fact that so many female journalists are fantasizing about laying him. I think anything he does will be downplayed. It seems that I only see these articles on Drudge Report. I never see him bening mentioned often on CNN or on MSNBC or even on Fox. It seems that they just forgot all about him.
Compare that situation now to Dick Chaney (the reputed Darth Vader of the Republican party).
Although I disagree with his positions, he is one Democrat that I genuinely like and can’t help smile at and it kind of hurts me to see him so dissed. Just my thoughts.
Loved the Washington Times article! Wanted to highlight a few points in it:
Impressively, while President George W. Bush was able to elicit a Bush derangement syndrome from liberal Democrats and President Obama has succeeded similarly with many conservatives, only Mrs. Palin has induced simultaneous derangement form both Republican and Democratic professionals.
LOL! This cracks me up, an is so true. I guess it’s because she’s a threat to the “good ol’ boys” club in DC, eh? People seemingly forget that she had a very favorable rating amongst both Democrat and Republican politicians in Alaska, achieving her accomplishments in a proactive, bipartisan way.
…it might behoove those same party professionals who have been failing to connect their parties to the public to pause before calling Mrs. Palin an incompetent politician. Conventional wisdom may not be reliable in unconventional times — or for unconventional politicians.
This is wisdom on his part to recognize that Sarah is anything but conventional! Love it. And, these are unconventional times, to be sure.
And though many a conventional politician might be seen as a quitter if he resigned from office — I have a very strong hunch Mrs. Palin is constitutionally incapable of being seen as a quitter. Because she is not. She is constantly taking on the biggest challenge on her horizon.
Here again, the relative message here is “a conventional politician”, which, of course, Sarah Palin is not. I’m pretty darn sure that quitting is not in her vocabulary.
They may be listening for someone who knows how to talk to us – rather than at us or down to us.
Sound familiar? (That’s what the Dems constantly said about Pres. Bush.) He doesn’t infer it in the article directly, but it seems he’s referring to Obama on this one. And yes, Sarah definitely connects with those with whom she is speaking to in the most non-arrogant manner of any politician I can think of currently.
They also may respond favorably to a candidate who does not respond favorably to the Washington political class – nor it to her.
Amen!! More pearls of wisdom! 🙂

Hi all. This is richard’s brain. He seems to have lost me. Please let him know where I am, and hurry.
HR insists on kicking me around like a soccer ball and I’ve already lost a few years of our childhood, and I’m sure some flute lessons too. Now if I could just forget my first sexual experience. My butt hurt for a week.
Well gotta go. (THUMP-squish!)
At the end of the 2008 Presidential Campaign, an announcement was made that Sarah Palin would be speaking in Raleigh, NC on Sat, Oct 29th.
While reading the announcement, I never once thought that my attendance at this rally would only be allowed if I were a resident of Raleigh….I guess according to LOL Richard….one can only go to political events held in one’s own community of residence???
By the way… this event was held at the NC Fairgrounds in a building with a 10,000 person capacity…the building was filled to SRO with a long line being turned away.
Maybe Biden’s advance team should have added a “non-residents” of community allowed disclaimer when announcing the Wattsburg appearance?
I believe that Joe Biden was picked/recommended to Obama by Caroline Kennedy. She was part of a 3 person selection team charged with picking out a VP candidate for Obama..but I believe for various ethical reasons..the only one of the team left at the end of the selection process…Biden was supposed to add “gravitas” to his future boss’ ultra lean resume.
It seems that Obama is greatly influenced by anything Kennedy. (At least he did not name HIS Portuguese Water Spaniel, Splash, as did Uncle Teddy Kennedy.)

Israel has a sovereign right to decide what is in its best interest in dealing with Iran’s nuclear ambitions whether the United States agrees or not, U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said in an interview on Sunday
