Well, one advantage of being chained to my problematic plumbing system is I’m on-line more than usual on Sundays, thus offering another assist to Write Side of my Brain’s Daily Biden feature.
Today, the man who would be Prime Minister – oops, sorry, Vice President - channeled his ticket mate on Meet the Press, and not in a good way. Greg Pollowitz at NRO Media Blog has more (emphasis added):
MR. BROKAW: As you know, earlier in the campaign, Barack Obama said that he would be willing to appear in town halls, a proposition put forth by John McCain, go around the country, appear two, three times a week in different venues, and then he decided not to. He wanted to confine it to just three debates. Those numbers that we just referred to, 38 million people watching Senator Obama, 39 million watching McCain, 38 million watching Governor Palin the other night, that is an indication this country is really tuned in in a way that I can’t remember maybe since 1968. Why not have town halls? Why not have Senator Obama go head to head with John McCain across the country?
SEN. BIDEN: Well, that’s a little above my pay grade, to use the phrase. I mean, it’s a decision the campaign made before I got on the campaign, before I was picked, but…
Hasn’t somebody told Biden that this was the one phrase not to use?
Geez, these guys really don’t do well coming from behind.

How ironic that Joe Biden, the king of PLAGIARISM would once again fall back on old habits and steal the wonderful line made famous by Hussein 0bama. These chumps are making it easy for McCain/Palin.
I am seriously starting to think that the wheels are coming off the 0bama/Biden campaign.
