HEADLINE: Biden charms local GOP

Great job, MBNA Joe. Pardon me if we don't embrace YOU.

"The mid-term election may have been a rejection of the policies of this administration," Biden said. "But it was not an embrace of the Democratic program or the Democratic Party. We're in a state of flux right now and have a lot of problems that need to be resolved."

It didn’t happen. As they say at Fox News, the address was “fair and balanced.”

Biden devoted much of his speech to the war in Iraq.

“America needs, and I need, for the Republican Party to get back up,” he said.

“There’s not a single problem out there that cannot be solved without a bipartisan coalition,” said Biden, the incoming chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations.

I would hate the fucker even if he was a Democrat.

Naaah...For Biden's mouth the construction costs would be monumental and probably futile.

Oh, right, the DEMOCRATIC primary.

If so, this makes a lot of sense. Why does he "need" the Republican Party? He does a fine job representing the sensible Republican moderate.
