Biden would make a horrible president. Possibly the most boring, longwinded, self congratulating blowhard politician ever.

That was probably the best line he's come up with in a quarter century.

I fail to see why the good people of Delaware keep reelecting this moron time after time.

Biden is doing Hillary's dirty work. Taking the gloves off and doing a nice job.

They don't call him the Senator from MBNA for nothing.

That said, though, this was some darn good stuff - and it's way past time the Dems started attacking MussoGiuliani and the rest of the Rethug field....

Dodd would make an excellent President. Biden would be ok, but only because none of the Republicans this year is even close to sane or competent.

Biden would make a horrible President. Biden would make an excellent Secretary of Defense.

Secretary of Defense, though from a campaigning point of view he'd be a good VP pick. But I wouldn't want him as president, so for that reason I wouldn't want him in the VP slot.

I think I'm older than most posters here. Rudy's guy was alluding to the time that Biden stole a speech from some labor party hack in the UK and tried to pass it off as his own work. At first he denied it but eventually quit trying. What a country America is! Someone can do something that absurd and still be taken seriously in politics!

Biden sort of stole this one, too. The Onion did a story a month or so ago stating that Giuliani was campaigning to become "The President of 9-11." It's hilarious and true. It's a sad state of affairs when either one of these suits becomes a serious candidate.

So far, the only ones who don't sound like they are taking speech advice from Bush (the moron) are Clinton and Obama, but they aren't that good either. The recent tradition of 'bad candidates and forcing us to vote for the lesser of two evils only to have our votes ignored' is staying strong in the US. So much for Democracy, too bad we will never see true Democracy in the US.

Then Onion stole it from the Senator because I heard him say it in a small gathering in Sept. He's running for Pres. and will make a damn fine one. The past issue was overblown and misreported. Check your facts, don't do what the press did to Al Gore.

Biden did not rip off a speech from UK labor leader Neil Kinnock at the Iowa State Fair debate when he was running for president in 1988. He had used the Kinnock quote in several speeches before that and always gave attribution to Kinnock, and reporters knew it. The one time Biden did not cite Kinnock (possibly because he was busy preparing for the Bork hearings or suffering from a brain aneurysm), the reporters pounced, they were hunting for ways to make Biden look bad.
