Surely one of the worst jobs in Washington is that of cleaning up after the Human Gaffe Machine, AKA Joe Biden . . .
On shovel duty today at the White House, press secretary Robert Gibbs made a laughingstock of himself as he asserted what Biden “meant to say” regarding swine flu. The press corps didn’t [...]
Was Joe Biden giving solid advice . . . or sowing the seeds of panic? Asked on Today this morning how he’d counsel family members in light of the swine flu, the Veep said he wouldn’t take a plane, a subway train, or be in any other confined space.
Just minutes later, the Morning Joe crew [...]
How sleazy and rock-bottom was Maggie Rodriguez’s interview of Levi Johnston and his family, aired on The Early Show this morning? At one point Rodriguez asked Levi’s sister whether she thought the Palins were “snobby.”
Consider that. CBS thought it was good journalism to seek and air the opinion of the sister of the former [...]
Check out the screencap. VP Joe Biden decried the “senseless violence” of the Binghamton shootings today while addressing Al Sharpton’s National Action Network and standing before a backdrop filled with the group’s slogan: ‘No Justice, No Peace.’
You know, Al Sharpton. He of Freddie’s Fashion Mart and Crown Heights riot infamy.
It’s an explosive charge, one that I’m not in a position to evaluate. So let me just lay it out. On today’s Morning Joe, Pat Buchanan suggested that the Obama administration might like to see Afghani President Hamid Karzai given the same treatment as Ngo Dinh Diem. Readers will recall that Diem was the first [...]
Howard Fineman is about as close to the midpoint of the media-political spectrum as you can get. He’s been a respected guest on shows from Rush Limbaugh’s [going back years] to Keith Olbermann’s. So when Fineman portrays Pres. Obama as weak, it’s newsworthy, and surely reflective of what many in the establishment are thinking.
On this [...]
“Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama.” — Vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden, Oct. 19, 2008
“Analysts say this could be a test of the new administration, and the Chinese will be focusing less on words than on what American ships actually do at sea.” — Chris Lawrence, CNN [...]
Two big stories emerged from Pres. Obama’s interview with New York Times reporters aboard Air Force One yesterday:
we have a whining, self-pitying president.
The Times scrubbed from its article the worst of the president’s comments, the ones that revealed him in that self-pitying light.
Fortunately, the Today show had the tapes, and played them this morning. According [...]

VP Joe Biden made the rounds of the morning shows to discuss the president’s speech and his own role as lead man on the stimulus package. I’d say the veep put in something of a . . . choppy performance. Perhaps Matt Lauer had a calming effect on him, because Joe did his best [...]

That didn’t take long! It’s been barely 24 hours, and already VP Biden has caused a headache for his boss, jabbing Chief Justice John Roberts over the oath-of-office flub.
At a swearing-in ceremony today for senior White House staff, Biden, apparently unaware that he would be administering the oath of office to the staffers, “joked”:
“My memory [...]
