Here's a video contrast for you: Joe Biden being grilled by a professional news anchor vs. Biden being tossed a softball by a charming fifth-grader who said after his interview that the Democratic vice-presidential candidate "is now my homeboy."
Biden has refused any further interviews with Barbara West of WFTV in Orlando, Fla., or anyone else at the station, but the odds are good that he would chat at length with fifth-grader Damon Weaver any time.

Biden
October 28, 2008 - 15:24 ET by iveseenitallI always thought Biden to be a fool. This campaign proves my suspicions. He's also a liar (perfect fit for Barry; two peas in a pod). The media has ignored gaffe after gaffe, yet couldn't stop mocking Dan Quale for his spelling of potato(e). And what they've done to Sarah is disgusting. "Liberals" are sickening!
NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"
Today, Biden re-defined
October 28, 2008 - 15:13 ET by ThisnThatToday, Biden re-defined "rich" for the Obama campaign -- $150,000/year. This is down from $250K. Want to be it gets down to $35,000 after the election?

October 28, 2008 - 15:32 ET by FoolicanI guess that makes my father - a senior software engineer for a computer firm - rich and upper-class, therefore he deserves to be taxed more than others, in spite of the fact we have a mortgage and back taxes like everyone else.
Want to know what I think of this Biden? Take a guess... that's right...
F**K YOU!
Edit: Not only that, but if Obama gets in, my father stands to lose his job, because the USA will no longer be a tax haven for big businesses. See, my family and I have more riding on this election than just getting a "modest" tax increase.

Let me guess what he would call Governor Palin.... er, maybe not.
But they have a low opinion of "woman," these gangs... or so the word on the street is.

October 28, 2008 - 15:39 ET by misterbillI can't make up my mind if I want a cat in the White House or a white in the Cat House!
I need more guidance.

October 28, 2008 - 21:18 ET by abeautifulpersonbut like many slang terms, it has evolved... at least for people under 40 and those who don't wear their pants just under their armpits.
oh and barbara west may collect a paycheck, but she's no more a professional journalist than don rickles... and about as funny.
sure love how 'black' = 'gangsta' around here. lets keep them racial stereotypes a comin', massah.
If Biden had known earlier
October 28, 2008 - 15:48 ET by Chris NormanIf Biden had known earlier he would one day be considered a "homeboy", he could've skipped those expensive hair plugs and gone for a shaved head with a "doo rag".
