Biden makes the case for McCain

The gaffe-master is at it again. Instead of reassuring folks about voting for Obama, Joe Biden admitted to a gathering of supporters that electing an inexperienced and weak-on-national security candidate will indeed probably embolden our enemies. In doing so, he indirectly made a strong case for The Hero.

This is part of what he said:
"Mark my words," the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."

So much for easing the minds of those undecided voters.

He also said this:
"I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate," Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. "And he's gonna need help. And the kind of help he's gonna need is, he's gonna need you - not financially to help him - we're gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right."

One possible translation: Oh and by the way, Barack Obama's Iraq policy will ultimately look pretty much exactly like Bush/McCain Iraq policy. So, please help us calm the Code Pinkers and the moonbats down as they flip out when they realize we're not pulling out of there anytime soon.

So much entertainment value in this election. I wish there were two more years to go instead of two more weeks.
