The Biden thing especially is rather childish at this point. It was a gaffe in the debate, usually things that insignificant have an expiration date of election day.

The Biden incident is well beyond a “gaffe”. If Biden were a lay person, then you could call it a gaffe, but to have someone, who’s been on the judiciary committee for umpteen years and allegedly teaches Constitutional Law, make such a mistake is inexcusable. That would be like a mathematician claiming, in a debate, that the square root of 2 isn’t irrational. It is a totally inexplicable and inexcusable mistake. … No, when you teach Constitutional Law (we’re assuming the US Constitution) and sit on the judiciary committee, you are expected to at least know the broad brush strokes of the Constitution.

But if its all you have left and you are being interviewed by a guy that won’t ask you any meaningful followup you might as well run with it.

Cheney has never had any problems with any interviewers or any debates. You can dream about him getting tripped up by questions and follow-ups all you want, but they will have to remain dreams of yours, since Cheney has a clear, consistent view of the world that comes across every time he speaks.

Now, the Precedent-Elect, or his retarded sidekick, hardly ever have any idea what they’re talking about and they count on the press “forgetting” their nearly non-stop torrent of gaffes, mistakes, lies, and generally moronic ideas.
