7. There is no catch. She was handed a piece of paper and reported it like it caught her off guard. . |

23. That's a promising sign. Maybe she's like birds who shut the hell up when you cover their cages. |

22. Or if you can keep Sarah from shooting him |

I'm sure she would love to have the "state seal" stuffed and mounted in her office along with all the other dead animal parts.

6. Hasn't the media been all a twitter about him NOT resigning? |
|
And about Hillary NOT resigning?
And so it begins... damned if you do and damned if you don't. They have a "stunned" all set aside for either option.

He's not VP, so he goes as a senator--as though what he learns there will impact, for good or for bad, how he votes in the senate and the legislation he'll introduce as a member of the foreign relations committee.
On the surface, it's like accepting an employee's resignation, and the week before it takes effect you send him to a week-long professional development seminar. It's a waste of money unless there's something else going on, and to insist that, really, it's to help the employee do a better job on that last day of work is too disingenuous for words to describe.
However, there's neither authority nor funding for VP Biden to make the trip, so instead the Senate sprang for it.

14. Did they catch him tapping his feet for gay sex in an airport bathroom stall? |
|
If so, then he did the right thing.

16. I heard he was voted out! |
|
Perhaps he needs to appeal to the Rules committee and get all of the signatures on his papers!
