Biden tapes Letterman's 'Top Ten'

 

 

Love him or despise him, many Americans see Vice President Joe Biden as an occasional source of comedic relief - whether he intends it or not.

Getting a few laughs will be at least part of his role five days from Election Day, when the vice president will join the Late Show with David Letterman to read the famed "Top Ten" list.

An aide says Biden taped the segment from his Davenport, IA hotel Thursday between attending church, eating breakfast at a famed local cafe and departing for a campaign event in Muscatine.

No word yet on the topic of the list.

The comedy routine comes as both campaigns try to balance political attacks and the aftermath of a historic storm that devastated parts of New Jersey and Letterman's New York City.

It airs tonight.

He'll just plagiarize it to be a funny guy. Or, just looking for talking points from a comedy show. Of course, he is a comedy show these days.

FIRST READ??? Where oh where did this column go? All of the sudden it disappeared.

Romney: Able to break the gridlock?

“Just about everybody agrees Washington is a gridlocked mess. But who’s the man to fix it? After two years of brawling and brinkmanship between President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans, more voters trust Mitt Romney to break the stalemate, an Associated Press-GfK poll shows,” the AP writes. “Romney’s message — a vote for Obama is a vote for more gridlock — seems to be getting through. Almost half of likely voters, 47 percent, think the Republican challenger would be better at ending the logjam, compared with 37 percent for Obama.”

“Mitt Romney on Wednesday stepped up his support of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, further rebuffing accusations that he would end funding for disaster relief if elected president,” the Boston Globe says. Romney said in a statement: “I believe that FEMA plays a key role in working with states and localities to prepare for and respond to natural disasters. As president, I will ensure FEMA has the funding it needs to fulfill its mission, while directing maximum resources to the first responders who work tirelessly to help those in need, because states and localities are in the best position to get aid to the individuals and communities affected by natural disasters.”

His campaign though walked a fine line: “Governor Romney believes that states should be in charge of emergency management in responding to storms and other natural disasters in their jurisdictions,” said Amanda Henneberg, a Romney campaign spokeswoman. “As the first responders, states are in the best position to aid affected individuals and communities and to direct resources and assistance to where they are needed most. This includes help from the federal government and FEMA.”

During the GOP primary when he said this about federal funding for disasters in a debate: “Every time you have an occasion to take something from the federal government and send it back to the states, that’s the right direction. And if you can go even further, and send it back to the private sector, that’s even better.”

But: “George Haddow, a private disaster relief consultant and former deputy chief of staff at FEMA during the 1990s, said Romney’s vision for FEMA sounds like that of former President George W. Bush, who was criticized for the government’s slow response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005. ‘The problem is it doesn’t reflect the reality of major disasters,’ Haddow said.”

Haley Barbour on FOX: “The biggest change in the race is to Obama’s favor — and that's been this storm.” He added that he’d be “surprised if he doesn’t make a little bit of a comeback here.” He even said the storm was “like manna from heaven” for Obama.

“By the second rally at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, [Romney’s] surrogates appeared ready for something more combative,” USA Today’s Kucinich writes. “As the Red Cross donation number beamed near him, Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., slammed the president's foreign policy. ‘Remember, and he went to Egypt to apologize, to tell the world that the United States was going to be humbler and mellower and that, frankly, we are so sorry for the sacrifices of the Americans for generations,’ he said. ‘Well, now — now Egypt is controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood. Now, in Libya, they murder our ambassador, kill three other brave Americans, and the president is nowhere to be found to answer what happened.’

“Later, [Jeb] Bush, who at the first rally had focused on the changes Romney would make to the country for the better, said the president was more focused on shifting the blame than bringing people together. ‘His entire strategy is to blame others — starting with my brother, of course,’ he said, referring to former president George W. Bush. ‘Basically, he blames every possible thing rather than having the humility to be able to reach out and to find common ground.’”

Despite GM criticizing the Jeep ad, Romney’s campaign defended it. Adviser Kevin Madden said the ad "makes the case for why Gov. Romney would be stronger for the auto industry and why the auto industry's an important part of a strong economy."

I love David Letterman. Love love love love him. He's Jonathan Winters laugh out loud funny.

This should be quite entertaining. Lots of love in the air.

{I so recall when the NE Pats won their I believe 2nd SB and all Letterman could do was make fun of Belichick's sweatshirt he wore during the SB. Letterman asked him point blank if the stains on the sweatshirt were from Cheetos. OMG did we laugh. Those were the days when we were always beating David's team, the Indianapolis Colts.}

I imagine they probably have multiple options for their lead stories every day. I imagine sometimes they even have a debate about which one to go with. Sometimes they might even have one pre-loaded that's the wrong one and have to correct it a few minutes later.

You are filling every comments section with a gigantic block of nothing for no apparent reason other than to point out how much contempt you have for the people who are being nice enough to allow you to keep posting on their site.

And the contempt seems kind of... dumb... considering they aren't doing anything different from any other news organization. You don't think the Fox site has ever pulled a story and replaced it with another before?

____________________________________________

The top ten reasons even Joe "Gaffe" Biden considers himself to be a complete MORON:

10. "A man I'm proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next President of the United States — Barack America!" --Joe Biden, at his first campaign rally with Barack Obama after being announced as his running mate, Springfield, Ill., Aug. 23, 2008 (Watch video clip)

9."I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man." –Joe Biden, referring to Barack Obama at the beginning of the 2008 Democratic primary campaign, Jan. 31, 2007

8. "A successful dump!" --Joe Biden, explaining his whereabouts (dropping deadwood at the dump) to the reporters outside his home, Wilmington, Del., Aug. 20, 2008

7. "His mom lived in Long Island for ten years or so. God rest her soul. And- although, she's- wait- your mom's still- your mom's still alive. Your dad passed. God bless her soul." --Joe Biden, on the mother of Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen, who is very much alive, Washington, D.C., March 17, 2010

6. "You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.... I'm not joking." --Joe Biden, in a private remark to an Indian-American man caught on C-SPAN, June, 2006

5. "When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened." –Joe Biden, apparently unaware that FDR wasn't president when the stock market crashed in 1929 and that only experimental TV sets were in use at that time, interview with Katie Couric, Sept. 22, 2008 (Watch video clip)

4. "Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me." --Joe Biden, speaking at a town hall meeting in Nashua, New Hampshire, Sept. 10, 2008

3. "Look, John's last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number-one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S, jobs." --Joe Biden, Athens, Ohio, Oct. 15, 2008

2. "Stand up, Chuck, let 'em see ya." –-Joe Biden, to Missouri state Sen. Chuck Graham, who is in a wheelchair, Columbia, Missouri, Sept. 12, 2008 (Watch video clip)

1. "This is a big @!$%#ing deal!" --Joe Biden, caught on an open mic congratulating President Barack Obama during the health care signing ceremony, Washington, D.C., March 23, 2010 (Watch video clip)

He refuses to answer any questions (ie what he thinks today about FEMA, after saying time to privatize it mere months ago). The bald faced liar Romney doesn't deserve to be president.

Seems that, other than online blog opinions, Fox is the only one trying to get to the bottom of Benghazi. I certainly don't see it on NBC, ABC and the other alphabets.

I truly believe he's a sociopath - he can lie right to people's faces and he doesn't see anything wrong with it. He is one sick dude!

ouch. im not worried about a pea brain who only thinks that objectivity is following Obama or die.

Seeking, explain to me again how calling someone stupid/ignorant/idiot/moronic or the likes validates your position again. I didnt think so. and Im sick HA! Seek Help instead

Love him or despise him, many Americans see Vice President Joe Biden as an occasional source of comedic relief - whether he intends it or not.

I love it, even NBC recognizes that we have a comedian for a VP. Uncle Joe, is time to retire.

In dire times we reach for Kleenex to stem the flow of comedy. Thus has our age fallen into bad times. Far better to have a good joke in hand to pay the fare to Hell.

Ten, is that all? It would take a season of Letterman to cover Biden's continual gaffes.

    Well DF, I would argue that boycotting an ideology is not the same as boycotting a business.

    Just how does one "Boycott" Liberalism anyway?

    WHY? NBC does not care about American lives being killed by terrorist on 9/11/12 by terrorist and the fact that Obama left them to die by their own refusing to report the news for left wing political agendas. Obama would not and did not give the security that the Ambassador and his staff requested weeks prior to the attack and then told the CIA to stand down and not go in and rescue them during the 6 hour battle which left the Ambassador and 3 other Americans dead.

    This is Real News and a Cover-up which NBC has decided to not report and held with the Obama Administration cover-up with no regards for the Murdered Americans nor their grieving families. This is Criminal and absurd that others, including the media would Aid & Abet this crime.

    NBC is Not a professional journalism reporting news media, only feeding the masses what they make up as news, rejecting their duties as journalist in favor of left wing political agendas, favoring Obama in this case!

    Very sad day for America, reprehensible and an absolute disgrace to our Nation. May you all seek the Truth and Demand NBC to Report the Truth!

      I decided to change my Avatar to represent what will be happening next week. I hope you like it! :)

      That is a funny avatar. It represents truly what will be a pounding all across the nation for dems. 2012 will be a doubled up trouncing compared to 2010. The country is ready for work and Prosperity,not the shiftless party all the time b/s we have been subjected too for the last, nearly four years.... .....

      Why? we keep experimenting with euro-socio/governing mad scientists is beyond me. Hopefully we can embrace our future wholeheartedly this time. The domestic energy Renaissance is upon us I'm sure we will be able to use it to the betterment of the USA.

      No one need be left behind even BHO will have a book or two and some speaking engagements but sorry no more Airforce one.

      Sorry Barry, please go home "Quietly"

      Obama is the messiah I do not want.

      He leadeth me beside still factories

      He restoreth my faith in the Republicans.

      He guideth me in the path of unemployment for his party’s sake

      Yea, though I walk through the valley of free cheese and bread line, I shall fear no
      hunger, for his bailouts are with us.

      He has anointed my income with more taxes. My expenses runneth over my income.

      Surely poverty and hard living will follow me all the days of my life.

      The Democrats and I will forever live in government housing.

      But I am glad that I am free.

      Amen.

      This so called,"Leader" Presidebt Barack Hussein Obama, WILL be seen in History books as a Corrupt Liar, and the, Biggest politically elected mistake America has ever made.

      I've never seen a man less presidential than potus 44 in modern history. ie. rolling stone interview "bullsh1ter" remark going on the record like that is a sure fire sign of a power mongers desperation.

      The blame & shame Campaign of BHO is nearly at an end "thank goodness" Now, hopefully he won't completely destroy The USA during his lame duck Months out of spite for being fired.

      I'm on record for saying "I told you so" long before this, as a matter of fact on August. 20th 2008 I said he would destroy free market capitalism if given the chance.

      I'm so glad this nightmare is nearly awakened from. Now for the heavy lifting of putting this country back in order every one must pull together to save the "Shining city on the hill"

      All credible help will be Needed & rewarded.... .....
