Um, the Slog posted it two days ago, meaning you're probably linking to a site that saw it here and put it up afterwards -- completing the mystical Circle of Links.

I don't know who this newsperson is. Can anyone help out? Joe Biden answered strongly to some insane questions.

seriously, do the Slog writers ever actually read their own site?

Reporters who think it's easy to do a hit job on an skilled politician are fools.

Katie Couric just asked Palin some open ended questions and let her hang herself. If you come at somebody head on with hyperbolic slanders they bat them out of the park like fastballs.

Dang it, I specifically searched back through several days of Slog posts with they keyword "Biden" and found nothing. And so I'll leave this re-post up for those like me who missed it.

@4: They do, but given their amazing slogging productivity it's notable that reposts are fairly infrequent.

@7: good idea - if you're going to misspell something, why not do it 7 times in a row?!

Does anyone else think Senator Biden is sex on a stick?

Well, maybe 2nd base on a stick. Look at those dazzling choppers.

My conservative Facebook "friends" are madly circulating a video about Obama's "socialist" agenda. It's too retro for words. I love "Mad Men" just as much as anyone, but we've moved into the 21st century. This is the best they've got? Really? And "make the US a socialist country like... SWEDEN"-- HORRORS! This is as stupid as McCain constantly talking about the business tax rate in Ireland. Nice to hear some strong countering to those asinine "socialist" rants.

Thanks for the repost (some of us don't SLOG much on weekends). Biden is Das Bomb!

Sweden is the new Red Menace.

Please make a note of it.

That anchor has one of the cheapest looking facelifts I have seen in a long time.

Ahh, the fragrance of Flyover Country rotting away.

LOL at all the conservative apologists who have suddenly blossomed out in quotes from "Das Kapital". As if they'd actually read it, and not gotten their chapter and verse from an RNC handout! If they HAD read Marx, they might find themselves agreeing with his theories.

"Is this a joke?"

The best possible answer to one of the stupidest questions in the history of man.

Here's the permalink to the previous post of the video...several more interesting comments, including the interviewer's name (Barbara West) & the ABC Florida affiliate that aired the interview (WFTV-Orlando)...

If you google "Barbara West", you'll find many stories about the firestorm this has created.
