Jim Piccillo Introduces Joe Biden as John McCain
Jim Piccillo introduced Joe Biden at a rally as "the next Vice President of the United States John McCain." The audience clapped on cue. Would they have still clapped if McCain really walked out on stage? Jim Piccillo, who is a father of two, is a Republican who started campaigning for Barack Hussein Obama after Jim was laid off from his job. I have to wonder if perhaps Jim lost his job because he kept making simple mistakes like calling people by the wrong name. Rela

McCain to Biden: Too early to celebrate
In response to a Joe Biden email telling supporters that the “McCain campaign is on the ropes,” the McCain camp responded that it is too early to celebrate. “Being an underdog is a role that John McCain relishes and with 26 days left I don’t think Joe Biden should pop the champagne just yet,” said McCain spokesman Ben Porritt. “We are confident that as people make their decisions they will choose John McCain, a maverick with a real record over Barack Obama —an unknown comm

Joe Biden Likes To Laugh! A Lot!
Say what you will about Joe Biden, the man has a sense of humor. Or a bizarre, disturbing disease that makes it physically impossible for him to stop laughing. Could go either way, really.

Well so, OK, the world is ruined. The concept of "money" no longer exists and a makeshift barter system has sprung up in its place.

Obama and McCain Focus on the Health Care Issues
WASHINGTON,DC(RUSHPRNEWS)10/09/2008--In this week’s debates, the candidates spent a lot of time talking about health care. Health care is on a lot of people’s minds this election, as health insurance rates keep rising and leave many families unable to afford much-needed health care. Barack Obama and Joe Biden have a health care plan that will make quality health care affordable and accessible for every American. It builds on the existing health care plan. So if you like you’re health in

Show-Stopper: Anthony Weiner's Palin-Biden Joke
Here’s Representative Anthony Weiner saying that the vice presidential debate proved “undeniably, undeniably, we saw a vice presidential candidate who had nice legs. I won’t dispute that.” Weiner, who is dating Hillary Clinton’s body person Huma Abedin, went on to say, “but we also saw a vice-presidential candidate who tried to explain her running mate’s health care position.” Weiner was speaking at the fall meeting of Al Sharpton's National Action Network at the Sheraton New York hotel.

John McCain and George Wallace
Few members of Congress have John Lewis's moral authority which comes from his repeatedly placing his life and limb on the line during the Civil-Rights era to shame the nation into living up to the true meaning of its creed. And so his statement which had the power of a thunderous sermon. "As one who was a victim of violence and hate during the height of the Civil Rights Movement, I am deeply disturbed by the negative tone of the McCain-Palin campaign. What I am seeing today reminds me too much of ano

Attack Dog Biden Introduced As McCain
Former Republican turned Barack Obama backer Jim Piccillo made quite the gaffe when introducing vice-presidential hopeful Joe Biden today. Said Piccillo: "…No matter your party, gender, race, or religion, please help me today in welcoming the next vice president of the United States: John McCain!" How embarrassing! The real Joe Biden, meanwhile, has spent much his day taking on Republican running mate Sarah Palin, who did nothing this week when her supporters suggested Obama be killed and c

John McCain Used to Be Funny, Had Hair
In the post-debate blogosphere, the standout watercooler moment, the topline gaffe, was when McCain referred to his opponent as "that one." Everyone wants to know, "what did he mean? Was it disrespect? Racism? A sign of out-of-touchness?" Google "that one" and see what comes up. But to me, even more notable than McCain's already infamous talk-down was his reference to hair transplants. It's no secret that Obama's running mate Joe Biden is rumored to have had his wispy white mane transplanted in, and when di
