Biden to address Sharpton group's convention

NEW YORK (AP) -- Vice President Joe Biden is the featured speaker on a day devoted to education equality at the annual convention of the Rev. Al Sharpton's civil rights group.

Rachel Nordlinger, a spokeswoman for National Action Network, says Biden is expected to touch on voter rights and the economy as well as education reform.

I smell comedy gold...

Half-wit Chronicles of Super Joe Biden...

This is the first paragraph of the article.

Vice President Joe Biden says states that misuse money from President Barack Obama's $787 billion economic stimulus package shouldn't look to the federal government for help again for a long time.

This is the last paragraph of the article.

The vice president also said mistakes in spending the stimulus money will make it harder to persuade Congress to send any more funds to the states.

Did anyone notice the contradiction?

Planned Obsolescence...

So far, Biden has not been given a defined portfolio, the way Al Gore was given the environment and technology in 1992. And Obama's aides say they do not expect Biden to assume the kind of muscular role that Vice President Dick Cheney has played over the last eight years, although he is expected to put out a number of fires.

"I'm sure that there will be discrete assignments over time," said David Axelrod, a senior adviser to the president-elect. "But I think his fundamental role is as a trusted counselor. I think that when Obama selected him, he selected him to be a counselor and an adviser on a broad range of issues."

Psssst...hey, Joe. You've served 'The One's' purpose. Now, find some place to stand that isn't in the way. We'd ask you to exercise a bit, and eat better, but to be honest, we're not sure we're going to need you in 2012. It depends on what we need to feed to the voters...you understand...right? That's a good boy. Hey...HEY...Joe...what did we tell out about pouting? Mouth shut, pardner...zip it.
