3AM text message call: Obama picks Biden
The announcement came at 3AM, so, was it meant to be a slap in the face for Hillary? Or to the newspapers, who missed their deadlines? Or to the Obama supporters, who weren’t the first to know?
Via Maria, Obama Chooses Biden as Running Mate.
Change? The candidate of change went with the status quo, picking a guy’s who’s been in office for 35 years.
Is choosing a guy who was defeated in the primaries, and placing the experience at the bottom of the ticket good ideas? We’ll see.
So what’s going on? Did Hillary Clinton’s people surreptitiously shill for Biden?
Siggy’s on plagiarist alert and Dan says, So, It’s The O And Joe Show? That Oughta Be Good For A Laugh! You guys better watch out for those Biden rosary beads, guys. (Glenn’s probably safe, though.)
Mmmmm, donuts!
Will the
change to
?
Or perhaps,
?
It gets better
Guess Who’s Opening The DNC?
UPDATE
Biden’s famous quotations.
Robert’s amused.
The jokes will write themselves.
I guess the hope is that Obama will absorb his running mate’s foreign policy experience through a process of ballot osmosis, from the guy who called him “articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.”

Ed got texted.
It’s a regency, folks, a presidency-on-training-wheels.
And what kind of experience does Biden bring?
On behalf of Republicans and bloggers and co-bloggers everywhere, let me be the first to say…THANK YOU Barack!

Well, at least Obama-Biden does have a sort of a nice rhythm and ring to it.

These two together should exude all the warmth and charm of an enlarged prostate.

And then,

Via Moe, Iowahawk’s got it; I’ve liked Senator Biden ever since he spoke to my 7th grade class during our class trip to Washington.

Very nice catch. I wonder if the PUMAs are going to react for-real next week; the DNC convention is now can’t-miss blogging.

Somewhere in a secure, undisclosed cathedral, McCain and his staff are lighting votive candles of thanks.
I’m still shaking my head in disbelief at this. With a smile on, however.

Be still my beating heart!…
No. The Prophet Barack really picked Senator Joe Let me borrow your speech, Neil Biden for his running-mate? The man who authored the single worst idea of the Iraq campaign? A plagiarist and braggart, not to mention a blowhard? An…

Once again, Obama was thinking of the little people as he made his pick. Like the hollywood writers, who’ve been at wits end trying to find a single joke to tell about Obama. Now they’ll have an infinite supply.
Change. Hope. Donuts.

Abandon all hope, Obamination denziens…
Let’s face it; Barack Hussein Obama played you chumps like a Stradivarius….
- When push came to shove, he picked the old white guy who is a two-time failure in national politics just because Joe “Plugs” Biden……

Thanks for your witty morning summary and very helpful links. Exceptional. Biden elevates the arrogance level of the Obama campaign. How are they going to keep Biden’s mouth shut.

lmao fausta! make mine chocolate with coconut.

Maybe, owing to the lateness of the hour, Sen. Obama asked to speak to Joe and his bone-tired staff assumed he meant Sen. Biden. But he wanted to give the Kos Kids a collective aneurysm and meant to call Joe Lieberman and name him the VP candidate. Now for the next few months we get to try an figure out which one is King Lear and which one is The Fool.

So,your’re saying we get doughnuts with Obama? Or just another type of hole?

Anthony-Baptists don’t light votive candles but they have been known to incinerate a missal on occasion or once in a great while a Methodist.

Use ‘Training Wheels’ (think little girls bike with streamers etc.) like ‘flip flop’ sandles were used for Kerry. He’s done!!!

This will be the Joe’s dunkin’ donuts campaign, with training wheels.

Obama shoud use OLD versus NEW instead of change.
OLD are te financial institutes that do’nt work. OLD is McCain. OLD versus NEW is positive, change merely says you dislike the current situation. OLD versus NEW you cannot McCain cannot copy like Change. Because he is OLD and never can play the NEW guy. Amaricans shoud admid that their capitalism and democracy (the OLD) should change. That’s a hard thing for OLD people and figter pilots that build america. But building it doesn’t give the right to bring america down by repeating old dreams
