Joe Biden gaffes still flying under the media radar
Going relatively uncovered in the salivating of the major media over every Palin hiccup that goes awry is the trail of embarrassing statements Obama's running mate, Sen. Joseph Biden is leaving. You can start here.

The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.
Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
These are worse:

Who cares about snippets. I still wanna know - given what we know today, does Sarah Palin think the war in Iraq was called for?
ReplyDeletePalin is sorta like a famous Kentuckian - adept at the bob'n'weave. She's not going to be pinned down by substance, nosirree.
The again, maybe we don't really want to know Palin's real thoughts on matters of substance. No need to remind ourselves of the multifaceted Greek tragedy that is unfurling before our eyes.

"But when asked how she would help keep any new domestic oil produced in the United States, Palin gave a less-than-well-articulated non-answer.
"Oil and coal? Of course, it's a fungible commodity and they don't flag, you know, the molecules, where it's going and where it's not. But in the sense of the Congress today, they know that there are very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil first," Palin said. "So, I believe that what Congress is going to do, also, is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it's Americans that get stuck to holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here. It's got to flow into our domestic markets first.""
