Joe Biden Watch: Hillary Might Have Been Better Pick
Slow Joe Plagiarising Biden is the gift that keeps on giving.
The Key Graph:[MSNBC’s] SEN. JOE BIDEN: Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. She is say close personal friend and qualified to be president of the United States of America. She is easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America and quite frankly it might have been a better pick than me, but she is first-rate. I mean that sincerely.
Here is the video:
You think, Joe?

Carol Fowler, South Carolina Democrat Pary Chairwoman
Photo courtesy of The Palmetto ScoopMore denigration of Sarah Palin from the Democrats.South Carolina Democratic chairwoman Carol Fowler sharply attacked Sarah Palin today, saying John McCain had chosen a running mate ” whose primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion.â€
First, Obama says lipstick on a pig. Biden makes his comment about stem cell research. Now this.
See a pattern?
By the way, Ms. Fowler, you are referencing the Governor of Alaska.

John McCain Watch: “As Obama Drops in the Polls”
McCain-Palin latest television ad: “Fact Check”McCain-Palin continues on the attack against Barack Obama’s smears of Sarah Palin in their latest television ad: Fact Check.
The Script:ANNCR: The attacks on Governor Palin have been called “completely falseâ€â€¦â€misleadingâ€.
And, they’ve just begun.
The Journal reports Obama “air-dropped a mini-army of 30 lawyers, investigators and opposition researchers†into Alaska to dig dirt on Governor Palin.
As Obama drops in the polls, he’ll try to destroy her.
Obama’s “politics of hope� Empty words.
JOHN MCCAIN: I’m John McCain and I approved this message.
The anti-Palin smear noise is engulfing Barack Obama’s campaign as the polls continue to break for McCain-Palin.

Sarah Palin Watch: Lipstick on a Pig – The Response
Update: Somebody CBS has pulled the video: This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by CBS Interactive Inc.Update #2: The Web Ad can be seen here.
The McCain – Palin Response Video – “Lipstick”Team McCain-Palin has responded to the SEXIST remarks yesterday by Barack Obama with this web ad. It channels Katie Couric talking about sexism.But, Ed Morrissey has more on Barack Obama’s attitude toward women from his primary campaign against Hillary Clinton. Should anyone call him insensitive?
- “She’s got the kitchen sink flying, and the china flying, and the, you know, the buffet is coming at me.†— April 20
- “You challenge the status quo and suddenly the claws come out.†— February, Tulane University
- “I understand that Senator Clinton, periodically when she’s feeling down, launches attacks as a way of trying to boost her appeal.†— February
Apparently, Barack Obama is attempting to smear Sarah Palin in the same manner.
Update:
Since the LEFT obviously complained about using a Katie Couric clip and You Tube has taken the video down, it will obviously be either redone or forgotten. But, in this screen capture which has also been removed, the Democrats NEVER meant to liken Sarah Palin to a PIG, now did they?

Flap and Big Brother Live Show September 10 2008 Edition
Flap and Smelly Cat (Stacey) applaud at start of Big Brother 10 September 9, 2008 Live Show
Click on all photos for a larger view
Yes, I confess I am a Big Brother addict and have watched the CBS show for years. A few weeks ago a Twitter came across Twhirl from Dingo’s Hamster Watch (Follow Dingo on Twitter here) informing Flap that “LIVE†show tickets were available for a few future shows.Flap jumped and secured four tickets for last night’s show (actually Flap called Smelly Cat weeks ago and had her obtain the tickets since Flap had already used his name previously in August).
What a blast yesterday afternoon!
Flap (L) and Smelly Cat – now you know who we are
Flap’s, Mrs. Flap’s and Smelly Cat’s adventure at an August Live Big Brother 10 show is chronicled here.
Since Mrs. Flap was at work and Big Brother is produced “LIVE” at 8 PM EDT or 5 PM PDT, Smelly Cat and Flap headed over to CBS Studios around 2 PM. when we arrived there was already a line 20 or 30 people deep. We parked on a nearby street and hurried over to the on-street line.
There was some confusion at first since the NBC Show “America’s Got Talent” Show was taping and there was a much larger line for that show (the studio for Talent holds over 700). However, this was easily resolved and we were led into the studio around 2:45 PM.
After the metal detectors and search we received our priority tickets of #24 and #25 and breathed a sigh of relief since we knew we were within the top 107 spots for the Big Brother 10 audience. Remember Flap had tried for an August 28th Live Show and was denied a seat (silly me I waited for the CBS parking structure to allow admittance instead of parking on the street and walking into the area to line up).
But, we made it and around 4 PM we were taken over to Studio 18 and the Big Brother House. In the meantime, Flap was looking out for a fellow Hamster Watch chatterer, Habitrail.
Funny, as it turns out she was right behind Smelly Cat and Flap in line. But, she was identified by her real name, as Habitrail was chosen as trivia quiz contestant prior to the show’s start. She won a Big Brother T-shirt after correctly reciting the season ten eviction votes. Congrats.
We met again and chatted after the show.
So, here are some photos:
Flap’s Flickr photostream of Big Brother September 10 2008 photos is here
The producers and staff again were great to all of us Hamster Watchers. Flap asked producer, Nick, how much CBS charged Ollie for his destruction of House property and he replied if only they had. His grin revealed the “REAL” answer.
Don Wollman, the voice of Big Brother and Co-Executive Producer appeared to be under the weather and gave a few albeit weak sanples of his Big Brother voice.The stage manager EK or Eric was true to form and made us all great for TV.
So, Flap will be watching Dingo’s tweets today for Big Brother 10 Finale tickets but Flap doubts that they are available or that if available, Flap could get in past all of the CBS Production VIPS.
The chances of going to the final show of the season and meeting Janelle?
Doubtful……but there is next season……

Barack Obama Watch: Lipstick on a Pig Flap
While Flap was sequestered in the CBS Studios awaiting the Big Brother 10 Live show, this FLAP broke.Here is the video:
Obama Smears McCain-Palin As Lipstick On A PigThe key quote from Barack Obama:“You can put lipstick on a pig,” he said to an outbreak of laughter, shouts and raucous applause from his audience, clearly drawing a connection to Palin’s joke. “It’s still a pig. You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It’s still going to stink after eight years.”
Flap is OUTRAGED at Barack Obama calling Sarah Palin a PIG and John McCain an OLD FISH.
Sinking in the polls, Barack Obama and the Democrats are desperate and are now resorting to smears and name calling.
Please don’t try to pass this MAJOR GAFFE as a “LIES and PHONY OUTRAGE and SWIFT-BOAT POLITICS.”This comment is calculated bull shit in an ongoing attempt at humorous contempt of John McCain and Sarah Palin.
Senator, you are better than this.
Apologize now……

You have to read the article carefully to figure this out, but what the story ultimately reveals is that Palin (a) billed the state for most expenses allowed by law, including per diem when she stayed in her own home (her "duty station" was the state capitol of Juneau) in Wasilla; (b) didn't bill the state for other expenses,when she could have done so lawfully, such as per diems for her children; and (c) spent a lot less money on expenses than did her predecessor, especially on travel and by ridding herself of the state's personal chef.
-
The state finance director, Kim Garnero, said Alaska law exempts the governor's office from elaborate travel regulations. Said Leighow: "The governor is entitled to a per diem, and she claims it."
Big deal – more PDS -
But Gov. Palin's claim comes with a serious caveat. She endorsed the multimillion dollar project during her gubernatorial race in 2006. And while she did take part in stopping the project after it became a national scandal, she did not return the federal money. She just allocated it elsewhere.
