Sure, Biden's son quit lobbying. For a couple months. Until the election is over. Its nice when the family can get rich of your government contacts, right Joe? Now the kid gets a couple of months to relax before he gets back to the lobbying work in late November.

Now, if this was Palin's son doing the lobbying, can you imagine the media attention that would have generated? The MSM would have nailed Sarah to a cross over that one.

Glad to see someone is working the most important race of my life. I know Tim would be on top of these issues even on a week-end.

Todd..this shows how hard it is to raise a family and serve the public.

BIDEN: Absolutely not. My son graduated from Yale Law School. The starting salary in Wall Street is $140,000 a year if you want to lawyer. Options he had.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

$140K a year? That's chump change for what lobbyists make. Lets see, Joe's kid lobbyied for the evil credit card companies, the ones that charge 20%+ interest rates, and Joe the Senator makes sure those laws that allow for that are kept in place.

And Joe's son got this lobbying job on his own merits, right? The fact his dad was in the US Senate never came up at the interview, right?

These two liberals, Obama and Biden, are trying to pass off to all Americans that they are for "Change"?

Why aren't you reporting on any of the lies the McCain camp is telling:

-In their ads about Obama
-The lobbyists and 'former' lobbyists on McCain's staff
-About Palin's reformer image
-About Palin's visits outside of this country
-About the size of the rallies held by the McCain-Palin ticket

The list goes on and on. I know the television media is reluctant to use the 'l' (lie) word, but see if someone running for president is lying, that's NEWS. People should know a candidate is untrustworthy. So, you see, you wouldn't be showing partisanship in reporting the lies John McCain has told. You'd be reporting on facts that Senator McCain has mislead the public. You therefore, would be doing your JOB. Finallly.

You're kidding, right?

Get Brokaw back to the old folks home where he was before Russert died. The crust is actually falling from his ancient eyelids.

He's no Russert. He's no John Chancellor (if Chancellor were here, he would tell you himself).

He's no Rachel Maddow.

Just an old guy from North Dakota, with his retirement totally in the pocket of General Electric, et al.

Leading charges in foggy dreams, and we are supposed to think this crap is "gravitas?"

The Alaskan Bear
Either fact or fiction could the bear express,
for being there we could only guess.
Everyone looked and buzzed with amaze,
for bear was there with us in a daze.
There was no fear in the bear we saw,
we heard, we stared with all our awe.
The bear took a moose and then some fish,
to our surprise we were all in a bliss.
Chefs and jets were made to take a hike,
and lipstick and bulldogs were our delight..
Pipelines and gas were the purpose of life,
the bear needed to tell us all of that strife.
The bear smiled has to eat our delight,
we jumped and sang to take that flight.
After St. Paul we could hear the bear growl,
the same old stuff to all our howls.
Trouble and talking of this past awful trooper,
may turn out to be a bears really big pooper..
Money and travel to home to per diem
can't tell if the bear should have ever receive'm
Venture not far and be on this leash ,
for the bear is not quite ready to take that release.
Keep giving those songs of praise and token,
your handler will keep you always well spoken .
As the days go by for bear walks alone..
we start to see that the bear is a clone
We must look to see if the bear will follow..
for someday we vote for the bear in the hollow..

Is McCain's campaign worse than Bush's?
Is it sleazier than Karl Rove politics??
Apparently
Bush covers the truth...McCain outright lies
Bush lied about Weapons of Mass Destruction
McCain lies about everything
Is that what you want...AGAIN?

Biden's son did the right thing. Now ask Brokaw to ask McCain about his campaign leaders who are lobbyists; Rick Davis, R. Schenemann, Charlie Black, Frank Donatelli, Nancy Fotenhaver, Wayne Berman, Jhon Greenn. Or does Mr Brokaw like McCain and is going to cover for him with lies? McCAin and Palin have told lie's to the American people about 90% of the things that come out of their mouth. How can some people be stupid to even consider to vote for them? We have just passed 8 years of Bush and McCain's awful treatment of our Nation. We can't vote for 4 more years of McBUsh and Palin. Palin even thinks like McCain when she spoke in Alaska telling the soldiers soon to leave that the people in Iraq attacked uSA. When we all know it was not the reason to go into war in Iraq. This was a war we should not have had/ We spend 2 billion of Us dollars a month over there, when we should spend them here, our country is in a bad economic situation. OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Let me tell you Republicans something. If you REALLY feel you are better off today then in the past 7.75 years then vote for Palin/McCain. Yes Palin/McCain. That's how they are running this latest news cycle. He has no new ideas and no clue how life is for the average American. Just listen to him, when he isn't gushing all over Miss Congeniality. When would you bet was the last time he actually pumped any gas into one of his vehicles? Bought groceries? Or even balanced his check book? Used a Debit card? Saw the inside of a Wal-Mart? I may be betting wrong but I'm betting on change. At least change in the eyes of the other countries of the world. Things have to change. Don't they? The Republican party had control of Congress for 6 of the past 8 years and look where we are at. The debt we have/will have after these past 6 years of war, as well as Government Bailouts of the banks financial institutions and even possibly the auto industry will be staggering. When does it end? How does it end? This election is just TOO IMPORTANT! The petty bickering and BS has to end. ENOUGH of the personal attacks and please, please, PLEASE get back to the issues.

Better than all the lobbying firms represented on McCain campaign as well as McCain revolving door between Senate office, lobbying firm, campaign, lobbying firm,... In addition to Senator Gramm who crafted the bill that set-up America for the housing bust and banking bust (most banks going under since the 30s) and now brockrage firms...

Annette, Odessa, MO — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 22:29:05 GMT

Yeah, Palin's son isn't a lobbyist...she hired one, and came to Washington herself to get her earmarks. She didn't need her son. Probably some of that $60,000 that she wants the state of Alaska to pay for bringing her kids with her. Or Todd the shadow governor. Give me a break. If this is all you can find to complain about against Joe Biden then you have a real problem. At least it isn't an ethics violation that just keeps getting deeper and deeper every day. That has subpoena's involving other family members getting called into it. So keep digging. See what is next.
