Somebody Pull the Hair Plug on This Guy

The author of this article is Ann Coulter, whose credentials include, writing six bestselling books, graduating with honors from Cornell University School of Arts & Sciences, and receiving a J.D. from University of Michigan Law School. Her intended audience is the right wing public, as she is smashing Senator Joe Biden throughout this article.

She is talking about the Vice Presidential debate and Sen. Biden’s many mistakes. Those mistakes weren’t small ones either, they were quite large. For example, Biden said, “we—along with France—we kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon.” Hezbollah was never kicked out of Lebanon.

She later gives more examples of some of Biden’s mistakes that include him saying that we should move NATO forces into Lebanon. Lebanon isn’t a NATO country, and has never attacked a NATO country, in fact, the nearest NATO country is Turkey, which is about 700 miles away.

Another of Biden’s mistakes was him saying that, “… We spend more money in three weeks on combat in Iraq than we spent on the entirety of the last seven years that we have been in Afghanistan rebuilding that country.” Coulter refers to the Congressional Research Service, saying, since 9-11, we have spent $172 billion in Afghanistan, and $653 billion in Iraq. The most we have spent comes out to be about $3 billion a week, so, by Biden’s calculations, we have only spent about $9 billion in Afghanistan.

One of his biggest mistakes, in my opinion, was him citing Article I of the Constitution, saying that the vice president is part of the executive branch, not the legislative. The vice president is a part of both branches. Article I says that the vice president presides over the senate every day of the week and has a purpose besides just breaking ties.

For someone who has been in the US Senate for 36 years you would think that he would be more knowledgeable about the constitution. Also, for someone that has been in the Senate Foreign policy committee since 1975, you would think that he would know a little more about foreign policy.

We’ve heard little in the media about Sen. Biden’s mistakes, but if Governor Sarah Palin had uttered even one of these mistakes, the media would be all over it for weeks, maybe even months. Such is the state of the present day media, a bunch of left wing reporters and anchors, bloviating constantly about everything.
