Uh oh !
Guess Joe put in some earmarks for DE before he left the Senate.

So did Rahm.

The talking heads are going crazy :)

1. When republicans do something,
it is generally ignored, but any time a Dem does the smallest thing, it is BIG news. It seems that expectations for the Democrats is always greater than for republicans. Really twisted.

3. Reps MAKE it a big deal;
Dems ignore.

They USE the media; WE get kicked by it.

7. And they lie and lie and lie
They stand before a camera and say the exact opposite of what they said a month or two before, as if no one can remember THAT long ago. Its enough to make my head spin. Thank god for Keith and Jon Stewart who replay the old clips, just so I don't think I'm losing my mind.

8. And they ignore all the real stuff
Joe is a pretty together guy. It seems to take it all in stride. I couldn't be that patient.

6. I heart Jon Stewart. That was funny and true.
Gotta love Fox New's consistent "gaffes" with their spelling or mixing up names, etc. I cannot tell you the number of times I have seen McCain-D or something like that. They are really on the ball over there.

9. I just watched that episode last night
and said "finally!" I am so tired of comedians making fun of Joe and this time Stewart made fun of FOX making fun of Joe.

FOX ceases to amaze me. How does such stupidity continue to survive? They are like a 24 hour SNL skit.

12. If they can't find a good story,
they just make one up! We are living in a truly bizarre world these days.

18. Jay Leno made a joke last night
at Biden's expense. The only positive aspect is it got very few laughs. I'm really tired of all this and may stop watching some shows because of it. A joke here and there is acceptable if someone is in the public eye, but this has gone too far.

14. Yeah - I think they do.
He's always complimenting Joe - calling him the best VP ever and giving him a hard time.
Don't mess with Joe. With Joe you never know. It's funny.

What I keep wondering about is how Joe and Rahm get along.
They are kind of alike, yet I think Rahm is more headstrong. And I can't see Joe backing down to Rahm. Inquiring minds want to know.

15. Two strong personalities going on
Plus Scorpio and Sagittarius. My Mom is a Scorpio and I am a Sag, she is more controlling and I am more argumentative. We butted heads for a long time but now that I am in my early thirties we get along really well. :)

19. Oooh
That would be interesting to know.

I thought "Don't mess with Joe" was really funny, but none of the pundits even mentioned it.
