Biden meets with Georgian president without press.

I'm guessing that this meeting was more substantive than Saakashvili's meeting with Sarah Palin.

Great timing, Joe. :thumbsup:



Biden meets with Georgian president without press By DINESH RAMDE, Associated Press Writer


MILWAUKEE - Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden met with Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili on Friday but didn't let reporters in as the pair posed for photographers at the beginning of the session.

The decision to allow only photographers, and no reporters, into the meeting briefly at its start recalled a similar move by Biden's Republican counterpart, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, earlier this week. Some of the reporters that cover Palin's vice presidential campaign protested and got the restriction dropped.

Phil Walzak, a spokesman for Democrat Barack Obama's presidential campaign, said, "It's a private meeting between the senator and a head of state." He said Biden was expected to issue a statement after the meeting.

Walzak said he did not know why Saakashvili was in Milwaukee or the nature of the discussion with Biden, who was campaigning in Wisconsin.

4. Oh, yeah!

Stuff like this could really change people's minds... especially coming on the heels of PoopStain's spectacularly failed stunt.

5. Nothing can happen unless there was a photo-op! Unless you are Joe Biden, who has earned the respect

of the world's leaders.

The adults are in charge, thank goodness!
