So Obama has announced…finally…that his VP choice is Biden. Lawhawk<\/a> calls it the most bizarre rollout in history. Ed Morrissey<\/a> says they had good reason to wait until Oh-dark-thirty;<\/p>\n

So when did the Magic Text Message come? After last call in every time zone in the lower 48<\/em>. The people in Hawaii were awake, though.<\/p>\n

Of course, picking Joe Biden would be a fairly good reason to bury the news.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Michelle Malkin<\/a> calls them “Smarmy and Smirky ’08” while Beth at Blue Star Chronicles <\/a>calls them Smug & Plugs.<\/p>\n

The CNN story on the pick says “Biden brings experience to Obama team<\/a>” [Ed. Note <\/strong>– Ha! They changed it after I screen captured it!] – isn’t that nice? The Democrats picked as their number one choice to lead the country, someone they admit is so inexperienced that he needs someone with experience to fool the rest of the nation into voting for him. I guess it’s too much to ask of them to nominate someone who has their own experience…after all we’re electing a man based on his skin color here.<\/p>\n

And what kind of experience does Biden bring? Well, he’s been in the Senate since 1972 – that’s not executive experience. He brings the experience of being one voice in a hundred, just like Obama. Has he ever done anything else? The Associated Press<\/a> claims that Biden’s only expertise is as a blowhard. Another AP <\/a>story says that this goes against Obama’s “new politician” image;<\/p>\n

In picking Sen. Joe Biden to be his running mate, Barack Obama sought to shore up his weakness \u2014 inexperience in office and on foreign policy \u2014 rather than underscore his strength as a new-generation candidate defying political conventions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Don Surber<\/a> writes;<\/p>\n

How do you run as an agent of change when you have a Senate lifer like Biden on the ticket?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And:<\/p>\n

Net effect: Delaware is now solidly behind Obama. It won\u2019t be a 40-state rout.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Change you can believe in \u2014 because it\u2019s been in Washington since 1973 already.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Don’t forget that Biden’s solution to the Iraq war<\/a> was to divide the country up based on tribal affiliations…right out of the playbook of the old British Empire.<\/p>\n

“There is no possibility in your lifetime or mine of having a strong central government in Iraq that is democratic and is viewed as being able to meet the needs of the Iraqi people,” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, no possibility except…except NOW! Must be that Biden’s lifetime is over.<\/p>\n

Yeah, the Democrats think they’ve won already, but that’s that echo chamber thing they’ve got goin’.<\/p>\n

As DrewM at Ace of Spades<\/a> wrote;<\/p>\n

On behalf of Republicans and bloggers and co-bloggers everywhere, let me be the first to say…THANK YOU Barack!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nice Deb<\/a> calls them “a barrel of gaffes”<\/p>\n

…the right-wing blogosphere is jumping for joy. <\/b;ockquote>This should be good, folks. Both guys are known for their arrogance, verbosity, and tendency towards gaffes, which will make for a very entertaining couple of months.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gateway Pundit<\/a> reminds us Biden is a Plagiarizer and Curt at Flopping Aces<\/a> and Aunt Agatha<\/a> remind us of the “clean guy” comment Biden made about Obama – the first of many charges of racism in this campaign.<\/p>\n
