Read this paragraph, from a Politico story about the dolt that is Joe Biden.
His staff’s response is effectively to try to save Biden from himself. During the Virginia trip reporters were hustled out of retail campaign stops in diners and other intimate settings, aides tried to edit media pool reports for any potential landmines that could be seized on by Republicans and even hovered at close range to eavesdrop on journalists’ conversations with attendees at Biden rallies.
Biden’s aides have been editing press pool coverage to save Biden from his gaffes? How long has this been going on?
They must not be very good at their jobs.
Update: NBC’s Chuck Todd isn’t happy to learn that the media pool is allowing the Obama campaign to edit their reports on Biden.
On Thursday, Chuck Todd, NBC News’ White House Correspondent and Political Director, called a Politico report which revealed that Vice President Joe Biden’s staff actively attempted to edit pool reports, which are used to inform reporters about events on the campaign trail, an “outrage.” He said that the system of distributing pool reports through political staffers may have to change as a result of Biden’s staffer’s behavior.
target rich environment…
Geez Loweez…..the worst President in U S histoy has a Vice President who matches.
Both Biden and Obama mentally subnormal? Ya think?
How many excellently hilarious gaffes have we missed out on because of this?
It’s like heaing that your favorite band recorded several albums that were never released!
Delaware’s Dim Bulb needs a tongue chaperone. That’s rich.
And HE’S the foreign policy genius on this ticket. The only place he would not be an embarrassment and fit in…would be the Tower of Babel.
Not sure who the budget genius is in the Obama/Biden battle of the monetary maven. The White House’s budget voting pattern looks like a Cubs World Series streak..nobody has seen one who is still alive.
Joe Gibberish has handlers that have just about given up, they have taken to scoping out Skinner boxes for retraining, if he presses the right lever he gets to plagiarize another five pages. If he presses the wrong lever, he has to read Obama’s autobiographies and write a paper on which account is totally false and which one is a composite of totally false statements blended together.
In the long run it’s good for Joe Gibberish to be out with his handlers. They walk him and pick up after him. Think of it a kind of a Democratic dog walking service. Soon they might just start rolling up a newspaper or a magazine. That would give them one good use.
Does it strike you as odd that Biden’s aides can edit the reports of the press? Reporters should be forced to declare themselves as lobbyists for the democrats.
You can’t even shake your head over how bad our leadership is anymore. Just prepare for the decline and fall since it hardly seems avoidable at this point.
Soon Uncle Joe will have more staffers than The First Queen.
Biden needs a Vice-TOTUS.
I still say Biden would be 1000000% better than the arrogant prince.
I’ll go with Guiliani’s mental defective before somebody deliberately destroying the country.
The Secret Service probably has mixed feelings about Obama and Biden. On one hand, they are supposed to “take the bullet”. On the other hand, who would want to shoot them? Throw rotten tomatoes, perhaps, but shoot?
Not this year, anyhow.
I suspect that F. Chuck is outraged at Biden’s staff for suppressing any stories about gaffes because he’d rather do it himself.
So finally someone at NBC is ‘outraged’ at something, anything, that Barry and Company is doing. {or has done}
What’s it been, like 3.6 years now? Where.Have.They.Been?
Oh,… I see it now. They were ‘personally affected’. ‘Their Profession’ was manipulated and bastardized. They were,… “Messed With”.
Welcome to The World Folks. Down here where all us-un rubes, racists and clingers dwell. We’re not moving over for you.
You gotta stand in line just like every one else. Live with it.
Macaca.
Contrast and compare (from wikipedia):
“n the United States, the term was at the center of a controversy during the 2006 United States Senate election in Virginia when it was used by the Republican incumbent, George Allen. Most Americans were unfamiliar with the term until continual media coverage alleged it to be a racial slur. Allen said that he was unaware of its reported racial context.”
Nevertheless, Allen lost that election because “continual media coverage alleged it to be a racial slur”. Same state, different party, different rules.
Nope, nothing to see here. (Memo to media: YOU ARE ALREADY IN CHAINS.)
