Senator Joe Biden came away with one of the more memorable lines from tonight's Democratic Presidential Debate on MSNBC when he took a shot at President Bush and went after Rudy Giuliani and his lack of qualification to be president.
Biden: "...And the irony is, Rudy Giuliani, probably the most under qualified person since George Bush to seek the presidency, is here - talking about any of the people here. Rudy Giuliani. I mean think about it, Rudy Giuliani, there's only three things he mentions in a sentence -- a noun and a verb and 9/11 and I mean, there's nothing else. There's nothing else."

A classic line ........That one is gonna' be replayed through the rest of this century
that kind of joke would have been funny before 9/11 changed everything
Hey Hey! he also mentions his love for his wife/cousin a few times too.
medlakeguy @ 2:
Yeah , it changed Rudy's family .............
Again
I'd love to see Biden in a debate with any of the (R)s....
that was truely classic.
I heard Rudy has already posted a response:
"9/11! Terror! 9/11!"
see? no verbs. he's getting worse.
Where was the rest of his answer going? It gets cut off short. Some times Biden seems more like a stand up comedian than a contender, but that's cool
I'm glad Biden didn't go after Hillary. But I'm disappointed that I did not hear the crowd cheer and roar when I listened to Kucinich. I was sitting right here cheering all by myself.
Ralph Nader is right, America is owned by corporations now (recent C & L clip). That is why a fucking idiot like Rudy Ghouliani even has a snowballs chance in hell of becoming president. It's frightening and very very sad. And I'm afraid that most of the democratic candidates are going to just ride the corporate wave. We are screwed.
I like Biden's attitude. But it's Kucinich I'll vote for.
I thought Edwards did the best, and Kucinich did the most with what little time he was given; but the best sound bite of the night definitely goes to Biden.

Any man who would admit to seeing a UFO at a debate is a man who has zero chance of winning the electoral support of the American people.
keytronic @ 11:
Should he have lied?
Which are real -- UFO's or WMD's?
I still like Kucinich's gumption, this interminable election season is way more laughable than his UFO comment!
Biden hit the nail on the head with his blast on Giuliani . There is no one more ignorant then this man but George Bush. Putting him in office would be like another eight years of Bush and it just makes you sick to even think about it.
I doubt if Rudy's handlers/PR crew can come up with a snappy, neutralizing line before the ridicule damage is done.
From here on out, everyone is going to be counting: Noun. Verb. 9/11. ...every time the guy opens his mouth.
Who knows? It may even force the guy to actually come up with something besides the noun, verb, and 9/11. Won't that be interesting?!?!?!
So true Mr. Biden. Although he has added "you don't want Hillary, so pick me" to his repertoire. The worst part is that everybody knows it is true, and he is the best that the GOP has to offer.
keytronic @ 11:
As opposed to claiming a special connection and having a 'direct-line' to the mythical , invisible , all powerful deity of the universe who is surrounded and aided by those who look human but sport wings ?
That sure makes a lot of sense.........
when rudy married his cousin, do you think he did it with an eye on the southern christian/klan vote?
As far as the "Noun + Verb + 9/11 = Giuliani Vocabulary," you have to remember that Giuliani has to speak in that Neandrathal dialect so his base can understand.
I could smell the desperation of the other candidates the way they went after Hillary.
LOL, they should all drop out now.

Two insanities don't make a sanity.
I love that line, that killed me.
rudy likes 9/11
^ ^ ^
Noun Verb 9/11
redratio1 @ 21:
That should have been stated prior to Shrub I's retarded kid running in 2000 to the rest of the nation then..............
keytronic @ 11:
I'd vote for him just for having the STONES to admit that. Everyone thinks UFOs are nonsense... til you see one.
biden caves to the fascists in order to appear tough on crime. dems need to learn that you have to fight the fascists, 'not work something out' with them. it looks like the dems will continue to kowtow to the fascists in order to appear tough on crime.
redratio1 @ 20:
Pointing out someone's faults is considered "desperation" by you ?
Does that mean that all of Chimpy's screw-ups are merely borne out of some desperate figment of everyone's imagination ?
Try convincing 75% of the country of the validity behind that.........
I love you, Sen. Biden!
This is undeniable proof that liberalism equates intelligence. Bravo. :D
Lyon @ 25:
I saw something once....it's hard to describe.....it was kinda like a star..way way up there..it bounced around like a pinball then shot straight up and was gone....no one likes to admit to seeing things like that,cause you know people will think your crazy.Well....there was 4 of us who saw it...In the Santa Lucia mountains.
VoR @ 5:
My morning bowel movement can out debate any reich-winger.
But it was nice to see someone calling out Rudy,who is so under qualified he shouldn't consider running.Man......what an ego.
Great line. I hope he doesn't take it back when the crybaby, boogie eater repugs start up with their tired bs.
It's the damn truth!
repugs said boogies are a condiment
Biden is hilarious. He (and Hillary) are the perfect senators. Not so much for president or an ambassador, he always talks too much. Doesn't hurt him in the senate though.
If Biden doesn't win the nomination, they should at least ask him to write down some good one-liners for the debates. Kucinich is also good with the one-liners.
MCMetal @ 27:
As far as I know GWB isn't running for Prez., and wasn't on stage. But yes, I found Kerry VERY desperate...pathetically so.
mudshark @ 30:
I saw one ziz-zag across the night sky and then disappeared.
It was about three of us who saw this.
redratio1 @ 36:
Because Chimpy looked strong and secure with a receiver/transmitter taped to his back ?
I think he carried a little water for Hillary. But nice to see someone slam the nitwit.
Rudy Giuliani, probably the most under qualified person since George Bush
If that's true (and I think it is) then put a fork in it, the Republican primaries are as over as when Cheney was put in charge of finding the best VP. Giuliani is the next Republican meat puppet for the U.S.
"...there’s nothing else. There’s nothing else.”
Yeah, the GOP could sure use a handy-dandy made-to-order tehrist attack, huh? I think they want it closer to the actual election though.
MCMetal @ 38:
No, because Kerry was a babbling fool.
ANYWAY, I'm just pointing out what a juggernaut the Hillary campaign has become. Edwards in particular is wetting his diapers. Obama I thought did quite well as it stood. I still think he can't compete with the team Hillary has going.
honestly Guiliani would probably do well in some federal operations sort of director type position. I mean he really helped clean up and create new business in Manhattan (although he did sort of inherit it in that "Clinton inherited and didn't create a budget surplus" neocon false point sort of way).
but president?!?! Guiliani?!?! lol... ohhhh man... the LAST thing we need is some unqualified guy with a big ego and bigger aspirations, inheriting THIS mess!
go Kucinich. just for 4 years, come on...
redratio1 @ 42:
Yeah , because there's lots of validity behind that coming from some dope that claims Kerry was a babbling fool ; good thing the other guy was William Shakespeare"S" reincarnated , eh ?
Hillary looked like a fool when she was caught talking out of both sides of her mouth at the end.
And Edwards skewered her when he claimed (correctly) , that she said 2 completely divergent things within 2 minutes ........
Chip @ 19:
thank you so much ...that is by far THE best thought of the evening PS you might want to pass it on to Chris MSNB et al
MCMetal @ 44:
Like I said, two insanities don't make a sanity.
Skewered? Whatever! Irrelevant. Hillary is crushing everyone because he has the most money and the best strategic team. Plus Bill.
tHeGaMeOfLiFe @ 37:
it's a very weird feeling you get when you see something like that....we looked at each other ..."no one will ever believe us"...so we never brought it up again.
redratio1 @ 46:
"He" ? Well said .........
We'll see tomorrow and the day after how the polls react and if people begin to see what she's really all about .
I can't believe what I'm hearing.
A Democratic candidate slamming a Republican candidate?
This is highly irregular.
I like
the way he
avoided bashing
Clinton
heh...
CoconutHead @ 50:
Donkey ?
(And no everyone , I'm not Shrek)
Biden handled the question against Hillary masterfully.
How he isn't running against Hillary, that he is running to lead the country.
I want to see more of this from all our Democratic candidate.
I think Biden just set the bar of "why you should vote for me". Instead of "don't vote for the other person " (hoping to get their hate vote).
And Bush definately recieved the Kerry hate vote as he also recieved the Gore hate vote.
I literally clapped , in my living room.
rotflol
MCMetal @ 48:
Haha, you sexist! Just kidding.
Seriously. Is there any doubt that Hillary is going to be the Dem. nominee?
The other candidates have to pull some kind of magic rabbit out of their butt...and soon!
Robt @ 52:
Yeah , because we've all been so privileged to witness all the wonderful things there are to love about Chimpy ......................Those people that voted that way should be banned for life from voting .
RickinSF @ 49:
I guess the only thing that should surprise us less is Giuliani's War-Mongering and Fear mongering.
mudshark @ 47:
it's a very weird feeling you get when you see something like that....we looked at each other ..."no one will ever believe us"...so we never brought it up again.
The ridicule factor is huge. Kucinich did his best to minimize it for what it's worth (ie look up, see something you don't recognize = UFO) and he chuckled about it but rest assured the MSM will be all "little green men" and "anal probes" come tomorrow. Pathetic.
redratio1 @ 54:
.....or so the GOP talking point goes.........
redratio1 @ 54:
There's a huge doubt ..........I don't see many Hillary supporters in a lot of areas ; not where I live , the sites I regularly visit , nowhere........And that's a good thing.
She's Republican lite ; she's no progressive.
I'm tired of the "same ole , same ole" that's wrecking this once great nation....
ABSOLUTELY correct!
Biden is so perceptive!
redratio1 @ 36:
kulshan @ 61:
oops.
not one word on the liberal blogosphere about the corporate censorship that happened tonight on MSNBC. No One cares about free speech? Or a man with credentials and solid solutions being allowed to debate with featherweights?
Mike went ahead and went to Philly and had the debate right across the street from where the others were.
History in the making.
You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
kulshan @ 58:
How so?
I actually like Hillary, though I am a moderate to be sure.
The only thing I want to see from any of these so called candidates is for them all to stand up say what really needs to be said and then act on it. Impeach this president and his dick for brains vice. Anything else is bullshit period. The only one with any balls is the smallest man standing up, Mr. Dennis Kucinich.
MCMetal @ 59:
Well she IS polling great. Probably not where you are.
But the thing she has is institutional backing, clever as hell strategists, and crap loads of money.
Same ole same ole regardless, she is crushing her opponents at this stage.
When is the first primary? Jan. 3rd?
The other candidates better get cracking if they think they have a chance. Otherwise we might as well skip the the convention.
old hack @ 63:
What was the censorship?
sorry i got lost in the amount of posts.
Hi Mudshark! What's the word from the west coast? Good news I hope.
redratio1 @ 20:
Did Hillary or anyone bring up Obama's choice to practice public speaking for personal job enhancement in NH instead of casting what he claimed was "a very important vote" on Iran? Didn't catch the whole "debate" but it should've come up if they're going to slice & dice her for actually showing up to work that day. What would Obama do if, as POTUS, he had to follow thru on any of his "I would've done such & such" claims, run away to NH til things blew over?
mudshark @ 30:
I used to do sea fishing on the beach at night, you see a lot of weird meteors and lights in the sky when no fish are biting,
that is a shooting star aka a meteor. Most come in steep angle and just burn up or travel through the atmosphere.
The weirdest one came in at a shallow angle, skipped off the earth's atmosphere a few times, appearing to wobble, then disappeared back into space, most burn up and fade away into nothing.
That one was bright white and fast, occasionally a rare reddish one, sometimes green ones (space junk burning up)
One rather weird and fun sight was two powered Mil paragliders with single navigation lights on them, we watched these two tiny red lights silently and slowly approach along the coast a few thousand feet up, then make a right turn up the estuary.
Snap! Awesome!
I love the way Joe Biden acts as if he is running against Giuliani. It's like nobody told him Hillary is kicking his ass in the polls.
keytronic @ 11:
Whereas a man who would admit to believing in the triumphant return of Jesus and the Rapture is to be taken seriously. Yup, this country is in fine shape. Just sayin'...
Biden left out "war on terrorists that want to kill us"
(which he's said several x lately)
He uses nouns and verbs? All I hear is "9/11".
Kay @ 16:
I can't see a "best" that the GOP has to offer. They are all "Worst", period(.). :(
yogi-one @ 41:
I think we can count on that.
redratio1 @ 67:
Red,
This refers to former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel not being allowed by NBC to participate in the debate.
Tim Russert is a m-effing asshat. He thinks it's more important to ask questions about UFO's instead of asking who would repeal the Patriot Act or the Military Commissions Act, or the Protect America Act. He should be ashamed of himself, except he's too effing stupid to know. Miserable asshat.

I don't think I'd be quick to forecast "smooth sailing" between now and Novemeber 2008. Judging from the past 6 years, there are sure to be a few "surprises".
It's cool and all that he's poking at Rudy... but that wasn't the question....
It really annoyed me that they had the cameras set up to showcase (i.e The Price is Right type of showcase) the 2 most unqualified candidates, for what seemed to be 90% of the time.
They showed and questioned Clinton & Obama more than all the other candidates combined.
In competence & experience it should be running Biden/Gravel/Dodd, Kucinich, Richardson, Edwards, Clinton & Obama.
I personally am supporting Dennis, he railed hard for impeachment & clearly questioned GWB's mental health!
http://www.google.com/search?q=Dennis+Kucinich+questions+President+Bush%...
He nailed it.
Rudy = Bush, the only difference...Rudy doesn't mangle the English Language every time he opens his mouth...
I read comments like:
"Is there any doubt that Hillary is going to be the Dem. nominee?"
or
"It’s like nobody told him Hillary is kicking his ass in the polls."
And I completely understand where they're coming from. I hear the same thing from the news and from pundits about the latest reports and poll numbers.
But doesn't it seem a bit odd to anyone else that months before a single vote has been cast, we are well on our way to solidifying our collective "mindset" on who will win the primary? Poll results might very well have validity, although that probably varies greatly based on any number of factors. But then again, in over 20 years as a voter, I've personally never been polled about how I was going to vote in an election. Still though, we keep hearing all these percentages with their +/- margin of error, day in and day out, and it's hard not to start going along with the consensus of who's a lock and who's a loser.
I guess I'm just worried that one of the reasons for low voter turnout is that many people start to believe it's a foregone conclusion who the winner will be, so they figure, why bother? And others, who might really prefer a candidate like Biden or Kucinich, vote instead for a "top tier" candidate because they feel like they're "wasting" their vote otherwise.
What came first, the chicken or the egg telling us that the chicken was a shoe-in?
I don't have a solution to offer, but I'm disturbed by the implications of elections being thought of as "over" long before voting was ever begun.
The media seems to have already decided the major players. It's Hillary and Rudy. Clinton will of course be the favorite if the MSM while Giuliani will have the backing of the "most powerful name in news"...Fox. They are already in full swing promoting Rudy and trotting out the same old tired mantra of "higher taxes" and fear of terrorism. I'm afraid that once again the American people are going to fall for this baloney, so get used to the idea of President Giuliani. The Democrats have no idea how to fight back against this tactic, as witnessed by Reid and Pelosi looking impotent against Bush. The White House must be having a great laugh at this.
To all you Kucinich supporters.....Really........UFOs....and yoy think this guy is serious presedential material....he's right where he belongs.....in the House wherein many crazies are housed.........
gumpyoldvet @ 85:
Really, what about the sanity of GW talking to God every night.
Or the sanity of Guiliani, the cross dressing fear monger that even a mother couldn't love.
Or Hillary, megalomaniac crook fund raiser extroadanaire.
Who are you voting for commenter with the wierd name?
I'll take a president that believes in Aliens over a president that believes in God any day.
But just like telling your daughter that she is not going to date that freak, the people are now going to be drawn that much closer to Rudy...
Rudy isn't Bush. Bush has a different agenda. Bush loves loyalty, bush loves corporations, bush loves being leader even though he's very poor at it. Rudy loves Rudy. Rudy loves to be evil and a liar. Rudy loves Rudy. If Satan herself popped in front of Rudy and offered a deal for his soul to be president Rudy would gleefully junp at it because Rudy has no soul. Bush does. It's small and well insulated but since he values loyalty so well, there is a soul there. Rudy just loves Rudy...
