There is no way Biden's comments weren't orchestrated

A leading RMoney admin quits last week because he is gay. (Based upon push back from the Evangelical Right)

Biden goes on Meet the Press and makes his statements.

Now what I haven't figured out is the messaging from today, but this is an obvious attempt to drive the narrative for the week.

Bidden speaks for Biden, that is how I took this statement. I wished more Democrats stood up too. I would like to see Obama stand more firmly for basic civil rights. In a normal world perhaps...we are in "insanity junction" here.

I am not sure when it happened. I can't point to a time in history when we as a people veered off towards Insanityville. We have a chance to avoid it...will we?

Ted Turner: "Hey, listen. You've got to have big kahunas to be in this business, regarding his media empire.

3. I watched Biden's interview. He was pressed into making the statements.

But when they happened, it was clear that they came from his heart. I watched his facial expressions, those can't be faked, in particular by an off the cuff guy like Biden.

He's a good man with a big heart and sharp as a tack. Knows what he's talking about and isn't afraid to say what he thinks
