Joe V. Joe

Well, apparently Senator Biden is confused. Which Joe are we going to see tomorrow? Or the next day?
Depends upon the day, I suppose. Today’s Denver Post has Biden accusing Senator McCain of “bashing,” whatever that means. Looks like Joe did some bashing of his own not too long ago. Trouble is, he and his advisors seem to have been bashing his potential future boss. Oops.
Just a few excerpts, courtesy of the National Review:
Assessing Obama’s Iraq plan on September 13, 2007: “My impression is [Obama] thinks that if we leave, somehow the Iraqis are going to have an epiphany” of peaceful coexistence among warring sects. “I’ve seen zero evidence of that.”
Around that time, Biden in an interview with the Huffington Post, he assessed Obama and Hillary Clinton: “The more people learn about them (Obama and Hillary) and how they handle the pressure, the more their support will evaporate.”
December 11, 2007: “If Iowans believe campaign funds and celebrity will fix the debacle in Iraq, put the economy on track, and provide health care and education for America’s children, they should support another candidate,” said Biden for President Campaign Manager Luis Navarro. “But I’m confident that Iowans know what I know: our problems will require experience and leadership from Day One. Empty slogans will be no match for proven action on caucus night.”
Also that night, Biden said in a campaign ad, “When this campaign is over, political slogans like ‘experience’ and ‘change’ will mean absolutely nothing. The next president has to act.”
Uh-oh!
