OH MY GOD! Joe Biden just resigned from the Senate. . .who saw this coming. . .

[wndycty]

. . .Contessa Brewer on MSNBC is stunned. Wow. Who knew? :sarcasm:

[Occam Bandage]

1. What a shocker!

[CTyankee]

2. Why was she stunned?

Sorry, I'm not getting the catch here...

[wndycty]

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

. . .great TV.

[CTyankee]

20. well, it's not exactly something we weren't expecting along about now...n/t

[gkhouston]

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

Anybody got a blanket? }(

[zbdent]

25. anybody with an IQ in at least early into the double-digits should have known that Biden had to

resign from the Senate to take the position of VP ...

[mmonk]

3. It's ok. Sarah Palin says he will now be in charge of it (Senate).

[Ken Burch]

12. You Betcha!

(Which, btw, is the new Alaska State motto. We'll be putting it on the state seal next near...if we can get him to hold stil until the paint dries.)

[Sebastian Doyle]

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.

4. Damn that Obama, he has been the worst President ever!

:sarcasm:

[K Gardner]

30. I'm so disappointed in Obama. Some "HOPE AND CHANGE" ! Damn him !

[MNDemNY]

5. He must have gotten a blow-job, or somethin'.!

[JuniperLea]

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.

[Cha]

28. Doesn't take much

for them to start losing it.

[DJ13]

8. Contessa Brewer lives in a perpetually stunned state

She was who Bush was thinking of when he said "is our children learning?".......

[Thrill]

9. He looks like he's VP in Pakistan.

[Igel]

26. Of course.

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.

[Hope And Change]

10. Oh my God, the sky is falling.

[merh]

11. Did he get to vote for paycheck equality?

:)

[AtomicKitten]

13. Obama obviously failed in vetting him properly.

:rofl:

[mmonk]

17. Yes, or he would have found out he is a quitter.

[onehandle]

14. Did they catch him tapping his feet for gay sex in an airport bathroom stall?

If so, then he did the right thing.

[SharonRB]

15. Did he send his resignation in from overseas?

[Muttocracy]

27. I wonder if it's even correct - haven't seen anything posted anywhere else. nt

[lapfog_1]

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!

[Eurobabe]

18. She is so dense

I can't understand why they try to pass her off as as a legitimate on-air commentator.

[Ichingcarpenter]

19. Contessa Brewer: "Is it even cool anymore to be White?"

Seems she's on a roll today

[LiberalHeart]

21. I think he resigned because he couldn't get seated at the movies the other day.

[TomClash]

24. Poor guy - does he have another job lined up?!?!?! nt

[K Gardner]

29. Will we now see 3-4 anti-Obama threads over this? I wouldn't be at all surprised !
