So mccain is sending a delegation to Georgia. Gee, who is the president?

[still_one]

Why isn't the media jumping up and down saying mccain is interfering in matters that should be dealt with the White House?

1. More importantly, who's the Rock Star? Who's Presumptuous now . . . ?

Actually it's not more important, just more media nonfeasance.

[gratuitous]

2. If McThuselah was black, they'd call him presumptuous

But the media would really like to call him uppity.

3. Isn't he sending Lieberman and Lindsey Graham?

We'll be lucky if Russia's not fighting Georgia, the Ukraine and Serbia by the time they get done.

no one here is going to miss Lieberman and Graham

7. Because the mainstream media is full of shit.

They blindly hop on to any theme that Rovian fuelled instigators decide to employ. He's radical, he's elitist, he's naive, he's 'fill in talking point'.

The pubs have the power to shape the message all the while complaining that the Dems are shaping and distorting the message i.e. 'liberal media'.

8. That was my first thought when i heard it,what the hell is he

[MiniMe]

10. Biden headed over too, Gorby asked him to go

[Muttocracy]

12. I thought it was Saakashvili (sp?) but yeah, Biden was requested

earlier this week, and has the SFRC chairmanship so it makes sense.

I think he's going to get there and back before Lindsay and JoeLie too. They're gonna look like tourists in a war zone.

[RNdaSilva]

14. Biden's due back tomorrow.

"According to Biden spokeswoman Elizabeth Alexander, Biden spoke to Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili on Monday, and on Wednesday, the Georgian embassy conveyed to the Foreign Relations chairman that Saakashvili wanted Biden to come as soon as possible, as the former Soviet republic sought a ceasefire with Russia."
