Notable & Quotable: "Didn't I Eat Lunch There Yesterday?"

"Joe Biden better take another stroll down Union St. in Wilmington, Del. — and fast. At Thursday's debate, Biden said you could get an earful about President Bush's bad policies from customers at Katie's Restaurant on Union. But Katie's closed in the 1980s."New York Daily News, Oct. 4, 2008

By which we can presume that Biden hasn't strolled down Main Street, in his own hometown of Wilmington, in a quarter century. His propensity to project himself into the past or the past into the present is not an unendearing quality and reminds us of Ronald Reagan's own "Twilight Zone" moments. But can you imagine what the reaction would have been if John McCain had said that Lincoln surveyed the Gettysburg battlefield in a helicopter just before delivering his address or if he quoted a jingle that he had "just seen" on a Burma Shave billboard? The MSM's Dementia Squad would have been merciless. Remember the outcry when McCain confessed that he doesn't know how to use a computer? Well, the Queen of England traditionally doesn't carry money on her person, which doesn't mean that she doesn't know what it's for.

Although he does not look the part today, Biden was the Obama of his time. He ran for the Senate at 29 with his only previous political experience being 2 years on the Wilmington city council. After 35 years in the Senate his career was pretty much stalled and his next landmark achievement would have been to break Strom Thurmond's record if Obama had not decided that Biden was just what he needed -- his own old WASP. Although pundits never tire of pointing out that Palin's chief asset to McCain is her youth and gender, they prefer to allude to Biden's "experience" rather than the fact that he has seen the hill and gone over it several times.

Although Biden likes to say that he will be right next to Obama advising him on every decision (if not actually making the decisions for him), I suspect that if the unthinkable happens Joe Biden will be the most isolated vice-president in U.S. history (which is saying a lot). Obama chose his advisors long ago from a select group of left-wing radicals and fellow travellers who regard Biden as only marginally more acceptable than McCain. They have already undercut Biden by denying him the same strong role as Senate president which Cheney enjoyed in Biden's bailiwick and even had Biden characterize that role as "unconstitutional" in the vice-presidential debate though presiding over the Senate is the only specific role assigned to the vice-president in the Constitution. I just hope for his sake that they don't stick Biden in a White House closet and then forget which closet.

One could almost feel sorry for Biden except that he doesn't appear to feel sorry for himself. Hopefully, the voters will save him from the indignity of being Obama's vice-president.

Mauel te pido borres las direcciones de los fellow bloggers que aqui aparecen . No creo que sea eticamente correcto publicar las direcciones privadas de ningun blogero.

Eres el director del blog , haz tu trabajo at once , Do not delay it , it is not an order

Ms Calabaza said...

MaT:

with all due respect, I don't think it's right to display people's addresses this way. Could you please take them down?

Manuel A.Tellechea said...

fantomas:

You reveal their addresses here (which are available in a hundred other places on the internet) and then ask me to remove them.

Very well.

But if this happens again I will be removing every comment of yours.

Vana said...

Can you imagine if Palin would have said it? the MSM and SNL would be making fun of her til the end of time.

What addresses?

Manuel A.Tellechea said...

ms. calabaza:

A new invention is in the works to purify this blog without resorting to the unacceptable expedient of censorship. It is one step beyond The Madhouse, my humble contribution to civilized blogging. More about that as the need presents itself.

Manuel A.Tellechea said...

vana:

Fantomas posted the supposed addresses of Henry, George and Utset.

Ms Calabaza said...

Vana,

they couldn't find any statement to laugh at so now the media is making fun of her winking. I give up with the media.

Vana said...

Manuel:

So he posts them and blames it on you, why am I not surprised! looking forward to your new invention.

Vana said...

Ms C:

The medis is a socialist monster, we cannot believe everything they say, must be taken with a grain of salt.

Manuel A.Tellechea said...

ms. calabaza:

This is what The New York Times said today about Palin:

"In truth, after her horrendous performance with Katie Couric, anything short of her head spinning around and spewing vomit would have been considered an improvement."

Fantomas said...

Manuel, regardless who put the addresses in this blog , YOU should have not permmited them to be posted for almost 4 hours. The blame is on you Manuel . It is your responsibility to weed out malicious comments

Pure and simple

Even Calabazza is mad at Manuel for allowing the comments to be posted on this blog

Fantomas said...

Ratas como tu , no merecen ningun tipo de promocion

Solo una disculpa tuya , sincera y en especial a las damas de este blog , ante todos aqui seria considerado para una restitucion de dichos links

Manuel A.Tellechea said...

fantomas:

The only referral that I ever got from your blog was -- you. And I still see you here.

Fantomas said...

Fantomas said...

Todavia tienes tiempo de pedir perdon, de excusarte , creo que una equivocacion la comete cualquiera

Aceptalo o te denunciare a las autoridades por libelo. Ya mi abogado esta tomando cartas en el asunto

Tambien he reportado tu blog a Blogger y me comunique con site meter al respecto

Fantomas said...

Manuel the bloggers affected by this outing Henry Gomez, Val Prieto and George Ustet deserve to know who was behind this outing

It is imperative that you come out with the truth

We expect the truth and only but the truth since that is the manly thing to do


Speak out and do it quick before it is too late for ya

Vana said...

My God her's ranting and crying like a lunatic, we all know it was you fanto you are the only troublemaker that visits this blog, you sound like you are foaming at the mouth, to The Madhouse with you, you are in need of treawtment.

Manuel A.Tellechea said...

vana:

As always, we are on the same page. I am designing at the moment my "Intergalactic Madhouse," a vast improvement on my former invention.

Vana,
glad we were of some help to you. Anytime we can help, just ask.

By the way, did you buy any Fantomas Movies?
Have you seen the last release on DVD? Is called:

"Fantomas against the Nutty Professor and his Kool Aid Kids"

Is a great movie. Don't miss it. I already bought my copy. I will give you an advance on the gran finale. At the end, Fantomas takes on the Professor in a great metaphor battle, gets his ass whipped and goes down to an ignominious defeat. Ah shucks, sorry I spoiled the end for you.

Vana said...
LMAO...Agustin, sorry don't think I could sit through it, without getting sick to my stomach, think I heard that movie may induce vomit...LOL

Ms.Calabaza,Vana,
don't wrestle with pigs in the sty, cause you will only get porcine feces and mud on your clothes.
Do not engage Rubber Head in petty arguments. Ignorance is bliss when it comes to this foulmouthed, insulting and uncouth idiot.

Manuel A.Tellechea said...

agustín:

You should see the next monkey that fantomas is going to marry here.

Vana said...

Intrgalactic Madhouse! this is too exciting I cannot wait, when will the unveiling be Manuel?

Vana said...

Fantomas how dare you publish that here, how malicious can one person be, you must be related to fidel or working for him, then you turn around and blame Manuel, I thought you said goodbye to this blog, we should be so lucky!!!

Manuel A.Tellechea said...

vana:

Any fool (and fantomas certainly fits the bill) can consult the White Pages on the net and reproduce anybody's address and telephone number. It takes an idiot of fantomas' monumental proportions, however, to pride himself on his ability to thumb through a phone book, whether his information is correct or incorrect.

As for fantomas' threatening comments I have deleted but saved them in case it becomes necessary to contact the appropriate authorities.

I, frankly, would not be surprised if some day our allegorical Madhouse turned into a real one for fantomas.

Vana said...

Manuel:

Te juro que te destruire, who does he think he is? and why all this hatred aimed at you, you have been nothing but tolerant with this maniac, glad you saved the threats one good day you will have no choice but to report him to the proper authorities, and yes a real Madhouse is where he belongs.

only the Obama ticket would have someone who has hair plugs and apparently may have used botox and had facial work. This should be called the narcissist ticket

The better way is to check the local assessor's site, provided the target owns property.

It's all public record and better than the white pages Mansuelo as many have unpublished phone numbers.

In the old days one would have to look through the title records at the assessor's office. Now they're all on line.

Manny, you are a brilliant writer, but at times all you write is nonsense.

Anonymous said...

Otra cosa.

If anyone is concerned about their property records, put your property in a land trust. That way the assessor's records show the owner as the trust company.

As smart as Henry & Co. all say they are, they still have a few things to learn.
