Man, Biden is obviously very PISSED about Bushs' comments. He's on MSNBC livid to say the least!!!

[Doityourself]

He's spittin' fire!

[K Gardner]

1. Interview outside Senate floor, Biden: "This is BULLSHIT!" I love Joe !!

[BayouBengal07]

2. And he's RIGHT!

Condi Rice and Bob Gates want to talk to Iran about halting their nuclear program. Is that appeasement? We're talking with North Korea...

God he is kicking ass!

[ecstatic]

3. Kudos to Biden! I wonder if he is the only Dem who will publicly stand up to

Bush today.

[harun]

6. Kerry did too. Lieberman went off on how awesome B*sh is, no surprise (n/t)

[napi21]

10. Pelosi was on TV calling the prez out on his conduct too. n/t

[blm]

46. Kerry's been calling in to shows since this morning - they are getting Obama's back on this

and Kerry heads the senate committee that deals with Iran policy.

Bush attacked Kerry in 2003-4 on this same matter of engaging Iran, and that was with a fairly moderate leader in Iran.

Obama is going to be fine with Biden and Kerry representing him on these battles.

[Doityourself]

4. He is kickin' ass...call Bushed on all his bullshit...

[maddezmom]

5. “Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.”

Quoting JFK :thumbsup:

[musicblind]

61. Great quote! You should mail that to Bush.

Or better yet, the news shows so they'll make it a talking point!

[Jennifer C]

7. Anyone know if it's possible to watch/listen to MSNBC online?

Do they stream?

[Muttocracy]

28. I think they do, but also archive video pretty fast

MSNBC.com, then use the menu to get to the Hardball program, and then it opens up another viewer. My guess is it'll be up by 7pm tonight.

[Jennifer C]

50. Thanks

;-)

[graycem]

I love it..

that's what it looks like to fight back. Go Dems. :toast:

[AllentownJake]

8. Hillary issued a statement too

and it was full of fire as well.

Way to go George...you united the party.

[graycem]

12. She did and it was wonderful!

So glad to see those signs of a united party fighting back against these ignorant fear mongering statements. This is how we will win. Be every bit as loud and forceful as they are. Drown them out with passion and common sense.

[Doityourself]

16. Agreed. Bush is stupid..lol..he's has no room to talk on this..Libya, N. Korea..??? Dumb Ass!!

[graycem]

40. He probably doesn't even know his position

and how it's insane to deny it. His remarks were purely political and he knows it, otherwise he would've said it with passion and not had a speech writer trump up some garbage to hurl at Obama which in no way benefits him. It's so disgusting how they can paint a U.S.Senator as unpatriotic. If he's so unpatriotic and a sleeper muslim terrorist or sympathizer, why in the hell hasn't our FBI investigated him and thrown him out of the Senate. They can't even see how that makes absolutely no sense.

[AllentownJake]

17. Nothing like George

to remind us of our shared values.

He really is a uniter.

[Muttocracy]

30. is that what he meant all those years ago - you're right - we'd end up united against him. nt

[graycem]

36. Indeed!

:toast: thanks Dubya.

[reggie the dog]

42. really? cool!

Perhaps she could be the next Senate majority leader???? Especially if she is really favoring negotiations before war now.

[K Gardner]

43. Good for Hillary.. I'll have to look that up !

[flowomo]

9. and he came to Hillary's defense on the "obliterate" remark....

good for him. That comment by Clinton about Iran has been grossly distorted.

[Doityourself]

13. We are on our way to kickin' ass..we just have to hold it together...Biden did a great job!!

[jillan]

11. No one can say it like Joe.

Rudy - "A noun, a verb and 9/11"


That's why Bidenites never got upset when he did the foot in the mouth thing.
He has a silver tongue and is not at all scripted.

[olkaz]

14. He'd made a damn fine VICE PRESIDENT

Biden is the man. Get him on the ticket.

[Jennifer C]

20. Damn straight!

Biden kicks ass. He's fantastic!

[AllentownJake]

15. Pretty good audition tape

for VP.

[Doityourself]

18. yeah...

[grantcart]

21. lol a group audition - ok everybody lets see what you got

[AllentownJake]

25. All potential VP candidates

Bush just said something stupid and divisive (he'll be doing that once a day from now till November) now go on CNN and MSNBC and give us your best response.

We'll be judging on wit, righteous anger, and pointing out he's the dumbest man to ever hold the office.

Action

[Tatiana]

27. LMAO. I gotta see what Biden brought today.

But my inclination is to think Hillary won.

[Doityourself]

19. Anybody watchin' this jerk off Kevin James on Tweety's show now! Tweety ask,s why are you screamin?

douche bag

[msallied]

22. This is Bush's attempt to feel relevant. What he says means little anymore.

But it's nice to see Democrats kickin some ass.

[AllentownJake]

31. He's going to do this alot

He'll see McCain in a little trouble than try to "help him"

which will only cause more damage.

[msallied]

47. Well in that case, I hope McCain gets in trouble a LOT. lol

Let him be the strichnyne in the Republican Kool-Aid.

[graycem]

23. Ugh.. Kevin James

some radio talk show polished Rush Limbaugh person is on there ranting and raving and making NO sense. I hope to God that all Republican surrogates act like this in the fall, so people can see how irrational and frickin' crazy they are.

[Doityourself]

29. It's priceless. I actually like Tweety right now...

[graycem]

33. Me too.. lol

and in typical Republican fashion, he can't answer the specific question except cite the same tired labels. He was an "appeaser" same way they use "elitist" and other garbage to label Democrats. Facts are irrelevant to them. Just being loud and parroting the talking points.

[Doityourself]

35. Ha Ha...Tweety, "we are not getting anywhere" If you don't understand "appeasement" don't use it!

[graycem]

41. Chris makes me so mad

that sometimes he says the dumbest things, and then sometimes he grows a spine and speaks up to the ignorance. It keeps me at odds with myself on my opinion of him. Chris, be this way all the time, please! :P

[olkaz]

37. Not the actor, right?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_James_%28broadcaster%29

This guy, right?

[Doityourself]

39. Yes, that uninformed, loud mouth, screamin' douche

[JBoy]

54. LOL - His Wikipedia entry already has today's MSNBC exchange up:

On May 15, 2008, James appeared on Hardball debating with host Chris Mathews and supporting the remarks made by President of the United States George W. Bush's May 15, 2008 speech to the knesset in Israel, where Bush implied that there was a connection between the appeasement towards Hitler to the policies of leading Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama, in reference to Obama expressing a willingness to meet with the leaders of US adversaries. James appeared to fail miserably at the questions asked. Although claiming to reiterate what Bush said, he said " he did not know" what appeasment meant, or who Neville Chamberlain was, leading Mathews to state: "if you don't know what appeasment is about then don't talk about it." It appeared to be a rather embarassing episode for James on live national T.V. The episode continued on for about 10 minutes.

Kevin James was badly humiliated when he accused Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama of being an "appeaser", drawing a parallel to England's Pre-World War II Conservative Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. For a full 5 minutes, host Chris Matthews demanded that James explain his definition of "appeaser", and what allegedly makes the United States Senator from Illinois Barack Obama an "appeaser". Kevin James was unable to do so, prompting Matthews to declare the Kevin James "doesn't know what (he's) talking about." James continued to insist, in a loud, high-pitched voice, to insist Obama was an "appeaser" without explaining nor defining. Fellow guest Mark J. Green of Air America radio was clearly embarrassed for Kevin James' glaring incompetence, and urged James to stop digging himself further into a hole. Matthews was clearly disappointed in his guest, and explained the difference between historical appeasers like the conservative Neville Chamberlain (who handed Czechoslovakia to Hitler) and modern leaders like Barack Obama who favor negotiation. Matthews accused James of being a "blank slate", who doesn't know anything about history, much like White House spokesman Dana Perino, who in a public appearance had no idea what the Cuban Missile Crisis was.

[Doityourself]

24. ha Ha...Tweety got Bushs' boy Kevin James in a corner..lol..he looks like an ass..cant answer

[ecstatic]

26. lmfao!! wing nut exposed--completely ignorant of history and WW2 reference!!

Wow! Tweety finally gets a point from me.

[Doityourself]

34. Ha Ha..Tweety called Kevin James Pathetic!! LMAO!

Matthews schooled it.

:kick:

[nadinbrzezinski]

44. So Senator Biden, not to piss on cornflakes, when is the CENSURE hearing starting?

And yes, it is APPROPRIATE

And when is your boss (Reid) stripping Joe Lieberman of all his assignments

[TTUBatfan2008]

45. Biden needs to be Obama's running mate...

He's a guy that has a lot of credibility on foreign policy.

[wiggs]

48. There's been a sea change. On Huffpo I notice all the quotes from dem leaders

are unusually harsh and derisive (but honest and deserved, IMO). I think open season has been declared on Bush and McCain. I don't know why Reid, Pelosi, Begala, et al have pulled punches for the last 5 years but they have. Now the words are much sharper.

I hope they can continue bring the harshness in talking about the dozens and dozens of past misdeeds, not just the current one. Let's revisit the crimes and immoral behavior and make one strong case against Bush and those GOPrs and pundits that enabled him. Let's not forget last week's disaster just because a new one comes along. Let's be open and honest about how absolutely terrible this administration has been in every policy area.

[wiggs]

59. More evidence of sea change: War funding stopped in the House. I'm happy but at the

same time perplexed why dc dems couldn't have stepped up earlier. Are they able to resist now because the political middle road was necessary to consolidate power and set up elections in November? Did some grand Reid/Pelosi scheme, perplexing at times, actually work out the only way it could have?

Another tidbit: Conyers vowing to kick Rove's ass!

Seems there's been some secret dog whistle signal that is allowing this pent up dem outrage and karma to release?

Or....(I'll save the wet blanket posts for another day...let's enjoy this one)

[ShortnFiery]

49. Part of me wishes that Biden would be Obama's running mate.

He'd make one EXCELLENT VP.

Joe Biden :patriot:

[Eurobabe]

60. Agreed. They would complement one another well

Those two would be my DREAM TEAM!

[alteredstate]

51. He looks downright Vice-Presidential

n/t

[SoxFan]

52. Just sayin'

'08!

[totodeinhere]

53. Let's hope that the shrub keeps it up all through the fall campaign.

With shrub as an albatross around McCain's neck, we should win in a landslide.

[Yael]

55. Video is up:

[Jennifer C]

56. Excellent!

Thank you

[Yael]

57. I live very close to the Delaware line in PA

I am a huge fan of Joe.

Hoping that he is our next SoS....

:hi:

[npincus]

58. Auditioning for VP?

I wonder if he'd want it.
