Gore invented the Intarnet, Biden invented Global Warming, McSame invented the BlackBerry...
I wish when I fished that realing 'em in was that easy. I saw the guy make the claim, anyone with half a brain knew it was a joke. The half without one, not soo much...
Now, talking about people not knowing where their brain is, has anyone else seen Biden's latest foot into mouth statements?

Biden garbles Depression history
Joe Biden's denunciation of his own campaign's ad to Katie Couric got so much attention last night that another odd note in the interview slipped by.
He was speaking about the role of the White House in a financial crisis.
"When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed," Biden told Couric. "He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'"
As Reason's Jesse Walker footnotes it: "And if you owned an experimental TV set in 1929, you would have seen him. And you would have said to yourself, 'Who is that guy? What happened to President Hoover?'"
Then yesterday Biden strongly criticized an Obama commercial making fun of McCain's inability to write e-mail, saying the he (Biden) would have never allowed the ad to be aired.
Now, who didn't vet who? Or does Obama never talk to Biden?
Oh, I nearly forgot to add that Biden has come out publicly that he is against the Wall Street bailout and Obama is for the bailout.
You know my previous post has caused me to be even more concerned about the possibilities of Obama becoming President.
Obama is very probably the least qualified person ever to run for President of the United States, he is also by every survey the most liberal candidate of either major party to run for President. We have been promised by Obama’s puppet masters that to make up for his ignorance of management experience and total lack international experience that he would have wise and experienced people of both fields appointed to positions in his cabinet, as his advisors and as his Vice-President to advise him on these matters.
Now, it is obvious to all but the most rabid Obama supporters that Obama is not listening to, talking to or taking advice from his most important advisor, his Vice-Presidential candidate Joe Biden. So just how do the Obama puppet masters expect us to believe that Obama would listen to anyone with experience in the matters of running the United States?
After all, the only thing that Obama has experience in, is running for office.
McSame, Capt K, if Obama gets elected, you will probably end up cursing that McSame was not elected.
Joe Biden's being interviewed by Katie Couric and speaking about the role of the White House in a financial crisis:
"When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed. He said, "Look, here's what happened.'"
What was even stranger than a slip of the tongue by Biden was watching John McCain on the CBS news praising the same "fire-side chats" by FDR for restoring trust in the nation. Praising the Satan of the right-wing looney tunes will not win him any votes from "the base".
BTW, did you ever notice that about the Republican "base" ?
Al-Qaeda, alternatively spelled al-Qaida, al-Qa`ida or al-Qa`idah, (Arabic: القاعدة; al-qāʿidah; translation: The Base)
See how easy it is too score with little cheap shots about nothing ?
"Paulson himself has shares in Goldman whose value was estimated at $US700 million. He is a direct beneficiary of his own bail-out proposal blind trust or no blind trust."
Does not matter much who gets in, the results of this sort of greed will be reverberating round far more than American shores for a long time.
Obama is not listening to, talking to or taking advice from his most important advisor, his Vice-Presidential candidate Joe Biden. So just how do the Obama puppet masters expect us to believe that Obama would listen to anyone with experience in the matters of running the United States?
Come on Con, is he bad if he listens to puppet masters or bad if he ignores them? Or maybe he's bad if he does either?
One on the close relationship BHO has had over many years with Bill "the Bomber" Ayers. BHO was a community organizer pushing education for the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, he was recruited by none other than Bill Ayers who found the CAC. The entire educational goal was infusing radical politics rather than educational achievement. Oh boy, a candidate who denounces the politics of the Boomers, but embraces the ultimate 60's radical.
The other is by Charles Calomiris and Peter J Wallison on the Fannie Mae and the Credit Mess. Wallison was quoted in a 1999 NYT article predicting Fannie Mae's mortgage practices would result in a Federal bailout. Quite simply, Fannie and Freddie, caught in an accounting scandal in 2003 started buying subprime and Alt-A mortgages as a sop to Rep Barney Frank (D-Democratic Republic of MA). Frank, ex-gay prostitute sponsor, wanted more "affordable housing lending". The GSE's understood that they would get political support for forgiving their accounting problems by more lending. With the GSE's buying up mortgage-backed securities, bank and mortgage orginators knew what to do-sell more mortgages. The GSEs were considered by everyone to be government backed and would get them off the hook with a bailout, if things went wrong. And they did and they got bailed out. So chalk up much of the housing mess to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, sponsored by Barney Frank and other Dems in Congress who refused Republican efforts to regulate them. Greenspan? He also asked for regulation and limitations on the growth of highly profitable, but risky, MBSs, but got stiffed by Congress.
By the way, GTF, if by unbridled capitalism and Bush's deregulation madness, you mean the repeal of Glass-Steagall in 1999-forget it. First, the vote in House was 362-57 and Senate 90-8. Bipartisan, I would say and Clinton signed it into law. Without the 1999, Gramm bill most of the recent actions would be impossible-no Goldman, Sachs as a commercial bank, no Merrill, Lynch merger with BoA, so it has been a benefit, not crazy Bush deregulation.
Obama is very probably the least qualified person ever to run for President of the United States, he is also by every survey the most liberal candidate of either major party to run for President.
Come on Con. I know all that right-wing junk has poisoned your brain but you can still think.
"In a renowned speech, Humphrey told the 1948 Democratic National Convention, "The time has arrived in America for the Democratic Party to get out of the shadow of states' rights and walk forthrightly into the bright sunshine of human rights," winning support for a pro-civil-rights plank in the Party's platform. "
He helped break the power of the Southern Democrats and that led to the "liberal", modern Democratic Party.
Take a good long look at his record. And maybe it will hit you -- why the Democratic party is considered "progressive." The Republican Party is kind of like the anchor on a ship. It just tries to keep us in place. Useful at times. At others, it's just dead weight.
Keep wiggling and squirming GTF, however, it will not change the fact that Obama is the only, repeat, only Senator in history to receive a 100% rating from the liberal watchdog group. The group that grades elected official on how liberal they vote that agrees with the liberal watchdog group ideology.
As for "progressive", only if the progressiveness is liberal, don't make me laugh.
Oh, too late, I'm already laughing.
Oops, one more.

In very stormy seas one really needs an anchor, such as a very stormy economy.
Is this the Humphrey the "progressive" that created the modern Democrat party that lost 7 out of 10 elections? Not so good.
The "progressive" Democrat party that has not produced one reform or new idea since FDR. Their are no Democrat think tanks producing new ideas or debating government, like the AEI, Heritage, Cato, FEE for the Republicans. The Progressive Policy Institute that helped elect Bill "I didn't have sex with that woman" Clinton is essentially forgotten, Al From a pariah. The only two-term Democrat President since FDR, Clinton essentially consolidated the Reagan economic plan. Minor tax changes, Treasury run by Goldman Sachs alum Bob Rubin, repeal of AFDC ending welfare, Freedom to Farm reform of ag subsidies, NAFTA (a Republican treaty), etc. Nothing that progressive, if by that term, you mean Bill "the Bomber" Ayers, Jeremiah "Goddamn America" Wright, rapper Ludicris, Messiah type of politics that we might be seeing in 6 weeks.

Really ? Check out the history of "Earth Day". Crazy, lefty "tree huggers". The Republican Party still mocks them. Yet every company out there is now crowing about how "Green" they are. Even Tricky Dick signed the bill creating the EPA. Bush & Co. have done nothing but try to gut it -- just like every other government agency out there.
Education -- Replace public education with private and home schools. Too bad folks are going bust. The upper half is now having to go back to the lower class schools that they abandoned.
Per my previous post -- Civil Rights. Who were the champions ? There's a reason most African-Americans are Democrats. And look who is running for President.
The Republicans of today ? They've got one song -- Free Markets. How's that working out ?
And speaking of FDR -- if you've read your history then you know that today -- right now -- looks a lot like 1929. We're staring into the abyss and the Free Marketeers just blinked. They're running to Uncle Sam to pull their butts out of the fire -- again.
"Government is not the solution to our problems; government is the problem."
"In his stump speech, McCain calls himself a Reagan Republican and admiringly notes that in 1987 Reagan vetoed a highway bill because it was larded with an excess of pork barrel projects, or “earmarks.” There were barely 100 earmarks—a mere salting by today’s standards, but that was too many for Reagan.
More compellingly, McCain counts Nancy Reagan as a close friend. In his presidential announcement speech, he mentioned Ronald Reagan ten times, and used Reagan to send a message to conservatives who don’t like him: “Let's invite a genuine contest of ideas within our party and with the other party, for conservatism, as Ronald Reagan told us, is not a narrow ideology.” And on Reagan’s birthday earlier this year, McCain e-mailed tens of thousands of Republicans with of a picture of himself and the former president. The implication: Reagan’s tacit, beyond-the-grave blessing has been conferred on McCain. "
"Government is not the solution to our problems; government is the problem."
Ronald Reagan
Supreme Republican
That'll be $700 billion please. "The problem" needs to come up with a "solution". Fast.
