Biden was the one who let Clarence Thomas on the Court. F Him.

1. Biden must be smart, but he acts like a lunatic sometimes

I wouldn't let him babysit my children.

[blm]

2. No. Biden got in the shot heard round the world today and it set a tone.

Republicans SHOULD be mocked PUBLICLY, just like Atrios is saying.

DC changed when Biden said to Rice, "For God's sake, don't listen to Rumsfeld, he doesn't know what he's talking about."

You'll see.

[DrGonzoLives]

7. Yep

On NPR, the coverage of the hearing was pretty much all the questions Biden put up about Iraqi troop strength, and how Rice was inflating it.

Maybe he knows what he's doing, hmmm?

[Greybnk48]

3. Today 1/19/05

Joe Biden told the WORLD that Bush is a fuckup and WE know it; Rice is a liar and WE and the PRES. knows it and condones it, her being his closest confidant; that any designs on Iran are insane, etc., etc.

What did you do today?

[MikeG]

4. I didn't vote for Rice.

[DrGonzoLives]

8. You're not in Congress

Moot point, eh?

[ladjf]

5. Biden is one of "them".

[Andromeda]

6. I posted this a couple of days ago.

Biden was a sneering, mocking bully when Anita Hill was testifying. How many people here, on DU, saw that? I did.

It wasn't pretty. Not only Biden but all the senators at the
Thomas hearing humiliated Anita Hill and might as well have called her a liar.

I have a long memory and maybe that's not a good thing. I don't know. But I don't think a leopard changes it's spots and it's bite is just as lethal now as it was then.

[senseandsensibility]

9. He hugged Rice after his

tough questioning today. The guy is really conflicted, it seems.

[formernaderite]

12. He's not conflicted, he's a lifer, that's all

...I'd like to see some other dems run against the status quo in the Senate. If we don't get some new blood flowing, they just act like blowhards on the Senate floor and go out to dinner with the opposing team afterwards. Sorry to be so cynical, but these guys have no real philosophy...it's a job and a game to them.
