Faux is desperate and I like it!
They had a segment today, where they were talking about Biden's multiple gaffes. Then they rolled the tape and showed all 3 of them. :rofl:

In one of their clips Biden said Barack America while he intended to say Barack Obama. Can you say desperate? Then they had a guest to discuss whether the voters will have buyer's remorse for Obama, because of Biden's repeated gaffes! I kid you not. That was the question. :rofl: :rofl:

Then 1 hour later, I got a glimpse of their shit show again. This time the anchor was saying how in the latest AP/Yahoo poll, only 58% of the Clinton supporters had said they would vote for Obama. You should have seen how concerned they were since that number was not improving. :rofl:

Has anyone even heard of the AP/Yahoo poll?

1. They are scared McLiar is gonna blow it and well, he is.
The fundamentals of the economy being strong comment sunk his ship a bit and now they need anything to help them. What about all the people who called Barack Obama Osama? I like Barack America, it is fitting. :)

2. That's always been my challenge to those who were continually harping on
Biden being a "gaffe machine" and the charge that he was "constantly making gaffes." I'd say -- name them. List them. The same few keep being recycled over and over - and this after 35 years of being a "gaffe machine" It's ludicrous, and even Dems and DUers have bought into the rep.

3. Palin has made far worse gaffes on the trail
She in fact has put herself ahead in the ticket several times. Now imagine if Biden did such a thing.

Wasn't Joe stuttering as a kid? I think I heard him say that somewhere.

6. They ALL make gaffes - bound to happen.
I think it's just because Joe speaks his mind and is passionate about the topic that he tends do say some things that he probably would have worded differently if he'd been running the "what's the politically correct way to respond" filter through his mind. That's part of his appeal to me. Like when he said Bush's comment was bullshit. Right there on camera:-)

He was so plagued by stuttering that his nickname was Dash -- cruel children. He spent a lot of time and effort and sheer will power in overcoming it.

7. An ad ran all weekend and last night on Faux
for Greta Van Sustern's show that asked "Why is Obama declining in the polls?" Uh, he's not. The ad was on last night while the majority of polls had Obama up by at least 4 pts. He was tied in a couple. Plus, he's making gains in battleground states. And, this morning, was leading in Florida.
Faux does look flop sweat desperate.
Did you catch the Republican surrogate on MSNBC this morning who said "McCain is baked. He's done.?" Sorry. I was getting ready for work and didn't get his name. This was following Chuck Todd's latest analysis showing Obama gaining in N.C., Virginia, and Florida.
