Bring them the head of Joe Biden

The White House says Joe Biden is still their man while it would seem every wingnut in Outer Nutopia is screeching the White House must dump the Biden from the Democratic ticket and replace him with Hillary.

There is, they insist, no other remedy to this serious affront to civil society. It seems Joe Biden uttered the forbidden word -- chains. Out loud. Where black people could hear him.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JOSEPH BIDEN, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Romney wants to let—he said in the first hundred days, he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules. Unchain Wall Street!

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Boo!

BIDEN: They’re going to put y’all back in chains!

(LAUGHTER)

(END VIDEO CLIP)
The Conservative Rights Strike Force, with their long history of great concern for the blah community, will not allow such a grave abuse of syntax go unchallenged.

Sadly, their new Steerless Leader found himself tongue-tied when called to the charge, but have no fear, for Grifterella of the North is here.
Let us recall, from like an hour ago, that His Lord High Hairgel Mittens of Romney could not come up with anything actually wrong with what Old Handsome Joe said, except that it was “divisive” and “not uplifting” and “inaccurate” in that it said Mitt Romney wanted to deregulate Wall Street, which is only on his website. (Also, the Obama campaign seeks to divide on “ethnic” lines.) What does Sarah Palin think about Romney’s recent remarks? Are they “disgusting” and divisive? Let us go to the blockquote.
Click the link if you care for a bite of Griftzilla's word salad. Which isn't really worth it. But the full platter of high grade snark at Wonkette is always satisfying.

This whole charade brings up three thoughts. One, Willard Rmoney is never going to get a gig at Fox News. Good thing he doesn't need the money. Two, this united call to oust Joe Biden suggests the GOPers are terrified of what he'll do to Ryan in the debates. And three, I suspect the push for Hillary is because they really want to finally get to use all that oppo they accumulated back in 2008, which was sadly rendered useless when that uppity "blah" usurper moved into their White House instead.

Yes, Yes, YES. Whenever a Republican says that they think HRC should be substituted for another Democrat I think they just want to keep fighting the 90s fight against the Clintons. They would never vote for her, they just want more opportunities to bring her down.

They've been trying to take Hill down from the day she walked into "their" White House. They hold a grudge forever.

I'll probably rot in hell for the undue satisfaction I take from seeing Hillary win.

Don't you always laugh at how these Conservative Concern Trolls always tell us what's best for us Democrats?

Here, let me try:
Mr. Romney, you have an untested candidate along side you, one who has never faced real national scrutiny.
You really should drop him, and take Sarah Palin as your VP. She's battle-tested, and has an even stronger appeal to the base than Congressman Ryan.

What do you have against women, Mr. Romney?

Don't think so. They believe he will destroy Biden, and no matter what happens will believe he did. The goggles, they do something!

That, and they want to distract from the Ryan FAIL parade by trying to convince people the Democrats are the ones with the problematic VP candidate.

Dean think that's true of the base, but thinking the power brokers in the party are worried since there are so many of their spox on message.

Tom, true. We should never discount the deflection/distraction faction in any move they make.

Why in the hell would wingnuts & their scriptwriters think that O & the D's would or should pay the slightest attention to their unsolicited advice re Biden, or anything else?
