Joe Biden brings the snark smackdown on Mukasey |
|
This would be even more fun if I thought that the Democrats were capable of doing ANYTHING against ANYBODY who is breaking the law. Sadly, these snarky comments are all it will come to.

1. I think it goes beyond the snarky comments -- |
|
Biden is holding his feet to the fire, trying to get a straight answer. His disgust with Mukasey's crap (you belong in the State Department, man) is evident. It's an indication to me that Biden, for one, will not be buying the AG's line just because he's the AG.
That being said, I agree it is frustrating, infuriating, and discouraging that with so many of our "good guys" fighting the good fight, be constantly smacked down.

16. Hard to believe Mukasey was ever a judge. |
|
Biden should be either Secretary of State or AG. He's well-qualified for both.

5. Ha! And there's a little physical resemblance, too. |
|
Maybe it's the Dead Eyes.

4. I don't hear snark, I hear a pointed line of questioning showing his inconsistencies. nt |

6. Oh come on. Joe's being bitchy here, deliberately. |
|
Delightfully bitchy, but bitchy nonetheless.
You don't have to pretend Joe's some brilliant hero on my account. I'm from Delaware, and know his warts too.

8. I guess I'm in a bitchy mood myself today so that may color things |
|
They are jackhammering right outside my office so I'm super-crabby.

12. I really despise these criminals. I'm so sick of the "loyal Bushie" standard operating procedure. |

When asked a straight question -- respond unhesitatingly with absolute horse-hockey, and for bonus points, embed the phrases "dedicated public servant," "for the American people," or "our brave men and women," for maximum effect at the beginning or end of said horse-hockey.

Biden:
"Was it "A" or "B"?
Mukasey:
"Well, "CDEFG....HIJKLMNOP....QRS....TUVWXY AND Z"
Biden:
"No, really. Was it "A" or "B"?
Mukasey:
"ΓΔΕΖ...ΗΘΙΚΛΜΝ....ΞΟΠΡΣΤΥΦΧΨ and Ω"
Biden:
"Man, you should be in the State Dept!"

I actually think the rest of Biden's questions on crime issues are more interesting than the clip that got the press time.
