A noun, a verb, and 9/11
Best Line of the Night

Joe Biden, in deflecting a bullshit gotcha question from Fat Timmah (or was it Robonewz?), choosing instead to speak about Rudy.

For my money, I think Biden would be the very strongest in a head to head debate with Rudy. The others will try to engage him on *his* issues. Biden, I believe, would blow him away with facts and then ridicule him.

1. Biden has a sharp wit. And a gentile way of using it against others.

2. By far. That was classic!
I'd like to see that in a few headlines or even bylines in tomorrow's news. LOL!

3. He impressed me with that. Awesome job
I love the way he put Giuliani in the proper context: A complete nobody. Anyone who rips into Giuliani will surely become a favorite with me.

6. I actually think he won the debate
I was *very* impressed with the clarity of his answers on foreign policy. Particularly that thing about Pakistan and Afghanistan as a fallout of our saber rattling on Iran. No one made it clearer or put it that way.

7. Agree. At least someone is pointing out that there may be . . gasp. .
serious blowback from bombing Iran.

8. Not canned, Original and spontaneous
and he can think outside the box. He did very well for himself.

10. In that regard, I think he's our strongest candidate. BTW, several x others said "I agree w/ Joe"
after he made a comment referring to some aspect of the Big Picture.

9. Yes, that was the best line and I thought Biden was the best in
the debate. He had the most intelligent responses, and the most clarity giving them.

I do not "have a horse" in the race, so I think I am fairly objective.

15. "I do not "have a horse" in the race, so I think I am fairly objective."
I share the same horseless status! I like to think I'm objective, too.

16. Yeah ... and for some good reasons
Verbosity and a tendency to 'compromise' when none is needed.

History is as history says.

18. Yup, I have issues with Biden. But support his nod since Dodd really doesn't seem to have a chance
Noone is perfect.

21. The context was Biden saying Rudy is the most unqualified candidate running
He then said that every sentence his utters is a noun, a verb, and 9/11.

22. You mentioned 9/11! Off to the dungeon!


Note: Any mention of 9/11 in any post means that it belongs in the 9/11 forum. If you mention the movie "The Zeitgeist", for instance, the topic needs to be moved to the 9/11 forum because one third of the movie deals with events of 9/11.

This was posted half in jest...
