As the Biden family grieves, Jonah Goldberg hacks up a bilious hairball
http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-goldberg7-2008oct07,0,6074234.column

Get a load of this horse shit:
---

Biden, the master gasbag

The vice presidential candidate isn't really an expert, he just plays one on TV.

<snip>

...As we know, the conventional wisdom was wrong. Palin wasn't stellar. But she crushed those low expectations, salvaged her political career and turned herself back into an asset for the McCain campaign.

But what about Biden? Overwhelmingly, the professional political class proclaimed that he blew her away on "specifics" and "knowledge" and "seriousness." The New York Times said Biden avoided making any gaffes, "while showing a clear grasp of the big picture and the details." The Wall Street Journal's Gerald Seib proclaimed on ABC's "This Week" that Biden avoided any "verbal excesses or rhetorical flourishes."

The Associated Press called Biden the "master senator ... rattling off foreign policy details with ease."

And that's true in a sense. Biden was at ease; he easily rattled off a string of falsehoods and gasbaggeries.

</snip>

Now there's a hot, steaming pile of condolences for you.

1. He's big in Wasilla.
Oh Jonah. You'll never be a Karl Rove. It's harder to build than to destroy, but the rewards are infinitely greater.

4. Well, I say 'bilious hairball' is too kind for Lucianne
I'd better just leave it at that.

5. A 'fortunate son"
that managed to pull himself up by his mothers garter belt.

7. Jonah Goldberg is the editor-at-large of National Review Online.
You know, the right-wing conservative "news" rag.

Did you really expect him to be objective and supportive of any Democrat?

8. One reason why no one I know in LA still subscribes
to that paper. You can only insult your readers for so long, before they decide enough is enough.

11. Mama's Boy Jonah Gets It Wrong Again
But, that should surprise nobody. He's an undereducated, know-nothing hack who, if it weren't for his mommy, would have a job with a paper hat.
