Biden’s been bragging that

“If you want to know where Al Qaeda lives, you want to know where Bin Laden is, come back to Afghanistan with me,” Biden said. “Come back to the area where my helicopter was forced down, with a three-star general and three senators at 10,500 feet in the middle of those mountains. I can tell you where they are.”

And why was the helicpter forced down?

A snowstorm.

Really.

It was so bad (how bad was it?) John Kerry (who served in Vietnam) joked (yes, Kerry cracked a joke)

“We were going to send Biden out to fight the Taliban with snowballs, but we didn’t have to do it…Other than getting a little cold, it was fine.”

Too bad Dr Seuss couldn’t include that anecdote on The Big Brag.

I’m sure the governor of Alaska will get a chuckle out of that story.

One headline: Kerry’s office: Sen. wasn’t partying with women

A thousand words:

Another headline: Nantucket girls gone wild descend on John Kerry

It looks pretty innocent to me, but wonders never cease: John Kerry, babe magnet. Who’d had thunk it?

PS
Allahpundit says there was a penis-shaped straw somewhere, but he wasn’t the one drinking.

UPDATE
Maybe Obama should go to Nantucket.

Teresa Heinz has been speaking in public, and therefore has come up with a a doozy or two on Obama, but the one that caught my attention is (drumroll, please),

“The irony is that’s what’s going on for regular folks in this country,” she said. “The truth of the American experience today for many regular folks is that folks are trying to reach a bar that just keeps moving.”

Mrs Kerry could not be reached to clarify whether she meant this bar, or the cash bar, but only in America is a millionaire Ivy League graduate Senator referred to as “underdog”.

In other Obama news, Geoffrey P. Hunt looks at Obama, the Pardoner, and his Tale.

UPDATE
Whoa!

For those who depended upon the MSM-Kerry narrative, there is a big surprise: There was no vast right wing conspiracy, nor was there a Rovian one. Those who need to believe there was such a conspiracy need to believe that in order to avoid the truth.

There was a grounds-up revolt by Vietnam veterans who knew better than the ersatz heroism that Kerry and friends tried to peddle. The facts and details are in this book. Sure, it took big bucks to get the message across. That came from some big donors and 150,000+ other individuals who believed it should be heard and not smothered or ignored. Polls and the election proved them correct. Indicative of who was listening: 80,000 copies of Kerry’s self-glorifying Tour Of Duty sold; over 800,000 copies of Unfit For Command sold. Very curiously, the pollsters didn’t bother to survey Vietnam veterans, but polls of veterans generally – there are over 25-million, plus their families who support them — found strong opposition to Kerry.

The book that tells the story, To Set The Record Straight: How Swift Boat Veterans, POWs and the New Media Defeated John Kerry, by Scott Swett and Tim Ziegler, can be purchased on line.
