1. doesn't matter, Biden handled Brokejaw just fine
even when he got his Irish up at the end.

That man, JRB, is cool hand Luke, I tell you.

7. That's great 'cause you just know brokoff was
itchin' to do GE's bidding like he has ever since he tried to take Russert's place.

Glad Biden didn't let him get away with shit. There should be Dem schoolin' someplace on how to turn the corporatemediaWhorin' back in their face so it works for Dems:bounce:

5. Tom ended up looking like the fool in that clip.
He's been listening too long to the wrong people. He should know he can't argue with Joe, but give him credit for trying.

Personally, I am sick of hearing the word "surge" and wish they'd move on.

8. the ironic thing, and to Obama's advantage, really, is that nobody really seems
to care much about Iraq anymore, and it's going so 'well' there.

the implantation of total disaster has been accomplished, as well it should have been, and all Obama/Biden have to do is remind the public, that no matter how 'well' things seem to be going there, it's DESTROYING our economy, and we'll continue to waste over a hundred BILLION a year (that we know of) in Iraq, as long as this misguided policy continues

if they don't follow that strategm, they're fools

10. Brokaw pretends not to know the difference...
between a Republican talking point and a real political argument. In that way, he's just like Russert.

9. No. But Biden did great ! Tom kept trying to pull a gotcha but
just couldn't.

And I guess Tom's pro-Republican bias is well known because in responding to another false argument, Joe said "I know you guys keep saying that, but it just isn't true."

Either that or he's using "you guys" to refer to the RNC, because Tom's just parroting their talking points.

11. Brokaw didn't HAVE TO treat biden with 'respect and deference'.
That bias is reserved specifically for Palin. Precedent set in Bush v. Gore (2000).
