Biden Disconnect

In an even bigger insult to the body politic than any attempted by Senate Democrat hoodlums yesterday, Sen. Joe Biden spoke in Manchester, New Hampshire last night. He appeared before 125 Granite Staters, which is more hostages than Reid's gang terrorized. The Union Leader reports that Biden delivered "a rousing, fist-clenching political speech," and promised to vote against Samuel Alito if the nominee fails to answer questions in his confirmation hearings. As if expecting Alito himself to pull the plug on Biden's presidential ambitions, Sen. Joe said, according to the U.L., that a "nominee should have to answer whether a medical patient hooked up to a life-sustaining machine has the ability to demand he be disconnected."
