Shot anyone in the face lately?

/Other than Jill, let's say...

He's no Dan Quayle... that beakon of hope.

honestly, this is the best part of the speech last night. It makes sense, it gives the VP a role implementing the president's policies (so not to upstage him), and Biden seems perfect for the job.

I like the idea of Biden taking a personal role in watching for waste. Seems like a good idea.

/because nobody messes with Joe!

That number is recovery.gov, Joe.

They're going to have a field day with New Jersey.

I normally enjoy Biden-puts-his-foot-in-his-mouth-(haha what a dummy) jokes, but that was ham-handed. -1, subby.

What a difference, right? Wow.

Ehh. I think it's a good job for Biden. It's not "make work", but it keeps him busy.

Karen Travers...



Schwing!

If it's a lawyer, I will use a Hero tag.

Could they possibly have put a bigger idiot in charge of the oversight of almost $800 BILLION? The guy is like the Ted Baxter of politics.

Sure he might humiliate them, but RON PAUL would beat the crap out of them except he wouldn't need to because they'd be too scared to even try anything dumb.

Screw embarrassing the abusers Joe, how's about suing the pants off them and getting our money back?

'Nobody messes with Joe'...oh brother....

Anyone else convined Joe was texting last night?

I dig Biden a lot, there is something real about the guy and it's hilarious to see that even he can laugh at himself.

They should have gotten Jack Welch...

Oh, I get it! Because you're a Fark Independent (tm).

Tee hee! You're so funny and original!

The line got a huge laugh from the Members of Congress in the House Chamber, who are familiar with the loquacious Blue Hen from his decades as a senator from Delaware, and made Biden grin and blush in his seat behind the president.

5. "Look, John's last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number-one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S, jobs." --Joe Biden

4. "A man I'm proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next President of the United States - Barack America!" --Joe Biden, at his first campaign rally with Barack Obama

3. "When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened." -Joe Biden, apparently unaware that FDR wasn't president when the stock market crashed in 1929 and that only experimental TV sets were in use at that time

2. "Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me." --Joe Biden, speaking at a town hall meeting in Nashua, New Hampshire

1. "Stand up, Chuck, let 'em see ya." --Joe Biden, to Missouri state Sen. Chuck Graham, who is in a wheelchair, Columbia, Missouri, Sept. 12, 2008


DON'T mess with Joe.

'Nobody messes with Joe'...oh brother....

You really don't have much of an idea how the government actually works do you?

Seabon: I like the idea of Biden taking a personal role in watching for waste.

I concur. If anyone knows about wasting taxpayer money, it's a career U.S. Senator.

I am not worthy Mr Adams.

Will Hunter and Beau's job be to spend all the money Allen Stanford stole?

George W. Bush
You put him in charge once, you voted him back in charge a second time and you're making fun of Joe Biden?

Credibility?
You have none.

SeismicJizzer: I dig Biden a lot, there is something real about the guy and it's hilarious to see that even he can laugh at himself.

It's a result of Delaware's small town politics. Everyone knows everyone. If you're fake or an asshat, people will know.

/ One of my friends served Biden food and was impressed by how friendly and down to Earth the guy was
// Everyone here has a story like this.

Obama told Joe to "Watch for waste" and Joe has been sitting by the toilet ever since.

Am I the only one who was surprised by this appointment? I was expecting "John McCain" to roll off of Obama's tongue last night when introducing the position. After all, Republicans are often biatching about wasteful spending, why not put them in charge of wasteful spending oversite? On one hand, it would seem like a good use of their self-proclaimed skills, and on the other it would make them feel like part of the solution.

The Obama administration is full of fail. How can they embarrass anyone?

Headso: They should have gotten Jack Welch...

Or Warren Buffet

And in other places we'll just use the television, the radio and the media to embarrass them for not doing what their' supposed to do," Biden said to Good Morning America's Robin Roberts.


It's now the government's job to get involved in states politics, buying airtime to attack their decisions? That sounds kinda petty, and a waste of tax dollars.

It would certainly have put the ball squarely in the GOP's court, would it not? But then, it would have set up a showdown between Obama and Pelosi/Reid; a fight I don't think Obama is willing to fight or able to win.

Third Day Mark: Anyone else convinced Joe was texting last night?

GameBoy or PSP.

Phony_Soldier: The Obama administration is full of fail. How can they embarrass anyone?

Hey everyone! Look!
An amateur troll.
How cute.

Go away and come back when you can play in the major leagues.

Phony_Soldier: How can they embarrass anyone?

Leftists don't know embarrassment, only indignation.

shirtsbyeric: Obama told Joe to "Watch for waste" and Joe has been sitting by the toilet ever since.

How did he miss that steaming pile he was sitting next to last night?

She uses a lot of perfume and makeup.

"In some cases we can withdraw the money we can hold them accountable."

Bull shiat.

Not a single person will be held personally accountable for money wasted on garbage projects.

GoldSpider: But then, it would have set up a showdown between Obama and Pelosi/Reid; a fight I don't think Obama is willing to fight or able to win.

As the last election, the passage of the stimulus bill and every other confrontation has clearly shown us?

I'm having a little trouble seeing your point.
Would you like take a try at rewording it?

Funny they put the guy with billions in earmarks during his decades of pork slinging in the Congress in charge of preventing "misuse" of funds. I guess 'misuse' depends on how good a buddy it is getting the kickbacks. Sen. Barack Obama sought more than $3.4 million in congressional earmarks for clients of the lobbyist son of his Democratic running mate, Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware, records show. Obama succeeded in getting $192,000 for one of the clients, St. Xavier University in suburban Chicago.

Don't be ridiculous!
We've been embarrassed by the Republicans for years.

Ranger Joe: That number is recovery.gov, Joe.

He forgot the website he is supposed to oversee, and then thought someone off stage could give him a # ??? Like to call?

He is not on the Intarwebs much. He is teh suk at URL's.



/Palin had prettier hair

vort3xxx: Am I the only one who was surprised by this appointment? I was expecting "John McCain" to roll off of Obama's tongue last night when introducing the position.

Because McCain seems too preoccupied at the moment about cutting the things he didn't get because he wasn't elected president.

Random Reality Check: George W. Bush
You put him in charge once, you voted him back in charge a second time and you're making fun of Joe Biden?

What are you talking about?? Nobody voted for him or thought the Iraq war was a great idea!

Bush never had to say "Nobody messes with Dick."
He didn't have to. Everyone knew Cheney was a hard ass that you didn't mess with.
But Joe? He's a buffoon. And every knows it.



That's why it was funny. That was the joke.

3_Butt_Cheeks: It's now the government's job to get involved in states politics, buying airtime to attack their decisions? That sounds kinda petty, and a waste of tax dollars.

Dude...what?

Are you under the impression that the President or vice-President would have to buy airtime to get their message out?

Did any of you guys watch Nanci Pelosi's state of the union address with special guest president Obama last night?

What? You're resorting to trolling?
You and I both know that earmarks are the way Congress disburses money.
And yes, part of that is pork - but we call that compromise - which is the way our government is meant to work.

Come on man, you're better than this shiat.

if Biden, Pelosi, Reid and Boehner were locked in a room for the next four years, unable to communicate with the outside world, would America be better off or worse off?

I think the answer is obvious

After the public scruiteny the recipients of federal funds have gotten over the past few months does anyone honestly believe humiliation would have any affect? These people have no humility.
