Quote of the Day
It's pretty early in the day for making a call on QOTD, but this gem from Joe Biden is going to be tough to beat:
"We're going to go bankrupt as a nation," Biden warned at an event in the backyard of the House's No. 2 Republican."People, when I say that, look at me and say, 'What are you talking about, Joe? You're telling me we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt?" he said. "The answer is yes."
Unlike Joe, I'm speechless.

3:07 PM Eastern and the Vice President still has a comanding lead.
Posted by: jk at July 17, 2009 3:08 PMYes, this statement from the Vice President of the United States is mildly embarrasing in its idiocy but it's not like he can't spell 'potato.' There's no reason for newspaper editors or columnists or TV anchors to bring this to America's attention (and tell us what we're supposed to think about it.)
Posted by: johngalt at July 18, 2009 10:09 AMFNC's Elizabeth MacDonald gave us her own QOTD nominee this morning in describing the Biden line:
"Biden is effectively saying to the American people, 'Pile into the back of my spaceship while I point it at the center of the sun.' No one, no one, not McCain, not Obama, would have won the election last year if they'd told the truth, if they said what John Rutledge said, if they were straight and stopped whipping fastballs by the American people the size of Jupiter. You know, the debt that we're looking at is gonna be three-quarters the size of our country's GDP. This is beyond faith-based economics, it's delusional."
