Lib Dick Durbin Will Replace Joe Biden Tonight in Prime-Time Speaking Slot

They just didn’t trust Joe not to screw it up.
Dick Durbin will replace Joe Biden tonight in the prime-time speaking slot introducing Barack Obama.
Roll Call reported, via Weasel Zippers:

Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) will introduce President Barack Obama during prime time this evening at the final night of the Democratic National Convention.

Vice President Joseph Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, will address delegates at the Time Warner Cable Arena during the 9 p.m. hour, convention organizers announced. And no one is more disappointed about Biden’s speaking slot than Republicans, who have taken to Twitter to campaign for the gaffe-prone vice president to speak during the nationally televised 10 p.m. hour instead.

This is good.

It gives Durbin the opportunity to explain the reason that the platform committee decided to omit “God”.

Now’s his big [second] chance. He kinda waffled on it before.

Dick Durbin is a traitor. He gave aid and comfort to the enemy, but that’s a resume enhancer in the Alinsky Party.

Senator Durbin seems to me to have as bad a gaffe history as VP Biden has.

Biden, Obama’s living Kevlar vest would absolutely screw up! Anybody else planning on getting friends together with friends, popping corn, and watching Ryan slice and dice him in the debate?

Let me see if I got this right:
Now they have Little Dick introduce the Big Putz?

What is the DNC???? . . Freaks, Sluts, Pervs & Clowns???

Forgot about DEMONcrats putting GOD in their platform. .
Perhaps GOD wants to run away from these freaks. .
Far far away. .

He did it with Noah and the Ark. .
He did it with Sodom & Gomorrah. .
Maybe He will do it with the DNC!

Today’s DNC is the Alinsky Convention. . .the Who’s Who of Leftist ideology!
and Rules for Radicals was dedicated to who? Lucifer!

I hope Blue Dog and Reagan Democrats run. .
run away as fast as they can
and come home to the Right of Center!

Time to Restore & Renew Our Country,
One Nation Under God,
In God We Trust
for R&R from Obama and his CZARS
R&R

‘Little Dick Durbin” to replace Plugs ? Heck, I was looking forward to a stream of Biden gaffes.
Maybe ol’ Joe needs time to prepare for his debate with Ryan?

Joe is not just a lose cannon.

He’s damaged goods.

I think he is in early stages of

Some form of mental

disorder.

Dick Durbin has always introduced Obama. From 2004 on. The press made a mistake saying Biden was introducing Obama.

Joe Biden is not the bumbling Sarah Palin esq fool you have been trying to make him out to be. Check the debates from 2008 during the primaries. Joe Biden knows policy and laws inside and out. He only took out easy on Palin in 2008 because it would have looked bad for a vicious debater such as Biden to beat up (verbally) a woman who clearly didn’t have a grasp on policy. And a newcomer to the political stage at that. So for those commenting that Paul Ryan could beat Biden in a debate obviously don’t know your political history or facts. But you’re a Republican so facts don’t matter to you.

You know, i’m really suprised that Blago didn’t give a speech from his prison cell, in keeping with the rest of the format.

Well, considering you’ve been warring with an imaginary Obama for the past couple of years, I guess it’s no wonder you’re watching some imaginary Convention where Biden isn’t speaking.

“A TRIBUTE TO ‘OLD JOE’”
[Tune, “Maria” by the Nuns from the “Sound of Music”]

He swears at all; he often falls,
His smile’s painted on.
He makes them laugh, with all his gaffs,
His skill is with the “Con”.
Few love this crazy ‘BFD”,
And BO just wants him gone.

How you solve a problem like Joe Biden?
How do you make the “Dolt of the Day” look smart?
How do you find a word that means Joe Biden?
An a$$hat who’s crazy, a drunk sad and lazy, A fart!

He seems to stall; he’s late for all,
The parties being thrown.
The donors piss and moan,
He’s coming to their home!
They all try to look happy
When they’re furious!

How can you save a deadbeat like Joe Biden”
How can you bear to hear this “Bleating Sheep”,
How do you find a word that means Joe Biden?
A Prime Time disaster, getting older not faster, a creep!

We hate to have to say it,
But we very firmly feel
Old Joe is not an asset to the Party!
