2. "poorest"? that's just a really poor choice of words.
least wealthy is far more accurate. Neither man is remotely poor.

5. According to the latest filings Joe Biden has NEGATIVE net worth.
He has a high income but he certainly is not wealthy.

9. Know what, least wealthy isn't us
Edited on Sat Aug-23-08 06:27 PM by DainBramaged
Biden IS the poorest Senator in the Senate. And goddamn it, he is one of us, that fucking proves it. He has SERVED his country without personal enrichment. And anyone lurking here who thinks they can sling that back at us, you are in for a rude fucking awakening. Joe is everyman, not some rich Reich-wing scumbag who wears his trophy wife on his sleeve and doesn't remember how many fucking houses he has.

Go to hell Freepers, go to hell.

10. And my PROFOUND apologies (something I rarely do) to the beloved residents of Delaware
Edited on Sat Aug-23-08 07:36 PM by DainBramaged
