Obama Picks Biden

Hmmm. Now where'd we see this speculated nine days ago? Oh yeah, right here.

Anyway, the waiting is over. Change now represents a 65-year-old 30-year Senate fossil with hair plugs and a penchant for sticking his foot in his mouth.

Yippee!

Barack Obama named Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware as his vice presidential running mate early Saturday, balancing his ticket with a seasoned congressional veteran well-versed in foreign policy and defense issues.

Obama announced the pick on his Web site with a photo of the two men and an appeal for donations. A text message went out shortly afterward that said, "Barack has chosen Senator Joe Biden to be our VP nominee."

Biden, 65, has twice sought the White House, and is a Catholic with blue-collar roots, a generally liberal voting record and a reputation as a long-winded orator.

Across more than 30 years in the Senate, he has served at various times not only as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee but also as head of the Judiciary Committee, with its jurisdiction over anti-crime legislation, Supreme Court nominees and Constitutional issues.

Team McCain is quick to respond:



Smears!
