KIND WORDS FOR OLE JOE
Re: Jeffrey Lord's Biden and the Tale of Aldrich Ames:

Joe Biden is joke, a fool, a blowhard, an egotist, a liar and a phony. He is the personification of all that is wrong with the US Senate; overbearing, arrogant, bigheaded and just plain stupid. Just because he is a member of the elite congressional club, he thinks he can say anything at anytime and it should be taken as fact

Joe’s the guy at the pool party that can’t talk to you because if he exhales, the taut stomach will flop over the belt of his swimsuit. He’s the guy at the cocktail party people avoid so they don’t have to hear the same of BS. He’s the guy that really believes hair grows naturally from sod plugs. He’s the guy who really thinks that people are smiling with him instead of at him. He’s the guy that thinks a smooth forehead means a smooth brain is behind it. And he’s the guy that spells JOBS with three letters.

Slow Joe believes he can get away with anything and usually does because the media simply shrugs it off with—Oh That’s Just Joe. And that is dangerous. People worry about Sarah Palin being one heartbeat away, well I’m more worried about a man who has been wrong for 35 years being one heartbeat away.

It is plain to see that Obama didn’t pick Joe for his foreign relations expertise, since he doesn't have any, but for Joe’s lock step agreement with O’s own foreign policy. A policy of appeasement, a lawyers approach to fighting terrorism that assumes they are innocent until proven guilty and that President Bush made them do it, and following the Carter and Clinton unilateral arms reduction position.

Why didn’t any of the media giants ask Joe if he knew what Obama’s foreign policy was? I guess they were more interested in Sarah’s shoe size.

LOSING IMPORTANCE
Re: Grace-Marie Turner's Jagged Little Pills:

I was wondering what happened to this "drug importation" issue. It was all over the place a couple of years ago -- then just vanished from the media. But nothing was settled...

I hadn't even seen it come up in campaign speeches this year -- I haven't seen all of them, but I see enough. I guess it just wasn't "important" the way it was two years ago...

MESSAGE TO MITT FANS: GET OFF OUR BANDWAGON
Re: The Prowler's Post-Defeat Planners:

Could someone please tell Romney and any of his followers hiding in the McCain/Palin campaign that we don't need him, don't want him and wish he would leave the Republican base alone? Romney "in charge on November 5th?" Tell ya what, this almost lifelong conservative will have nothing to do with the Republican Party if ANYONE but Sarah Palin is running it after November 4th. Of course I am assuming that McCain has already blown the election because he thinks he's too good to talk about Rev. Wright. Hey, John, the Democrats don't have any problems calling names whether they are true or not.

TAKE A TEST DRIVE
Re: Eric Peter's The Camaro's Last Ride:

Eric Peters has proven himself to be a biased writer who is completely clueless about the things he writes about. His blind judgement of the new Camaro is appalling on many levels that it borders on offensive. He failed to accurately compare the the car to any of its contemporaries, disregarding the facts about the vehicles he mentioned in the article.

I understand that your publication does not cater to fans of the automotive realm per se, but I would hope that your editors would at least try to portray something as monumental as the reintroduction of an American automotive icon with journalistic truth and integrity.
