When Regular Joe Six-Pack Bluecollar Biden tried to match her on the Main Street cred, it rang slightly wacky. “Look,” he said, “All you have to do is go down Union Street with me in Wilmington or go to Katie’s Restaurant or walk into Home Depot with me, where I spend a lot of time.”

Why? Is he moonlighting as a checkout clerk on the evening shift? Or is he stalking that nice lady in Lighting Fixtures? As for Katie’s Restaurant, ah, I’m sure it was grand but apparently it closed in 1990.

In the Diner of the Mind, the refills are endless and Senator Joe is sitting shootin’ the breeze over a cuppa joe with a couple other regular joes on adjoining stools while Betty-Jo, the sassy waitress who’s tough as nails but with a heart of gold, says Ol’ Joe, the short-order cook who’s doing his Sloppy Joes just the way the Senator likes ‘em, really appreciates the way that, despite 78 years in Washington, Joe Biden is still just the same regular Joe Six-Pack he was when he and Norman Rockwell first came in for a sarsaparilla all those years ago. But, alas, while he was jetting off for one-to-one talks with the Deputy Tourism Minister of Waziristan, the old neighborhood changed.

If Palin had made a similar gaffe about a closed diner in Wasilla it'd be front and center on the Mainstream Media for a week and SNL would have Fey riffing on it.

The dude is soooooooooooooooooooo in touch with Mainstreet America that I'm just in awe.

Toad....  The end justifies the means.   I am grateful for these boards.  You get the feeling that it is only the media and the bias that is controlling things...  that, because they are all on the same page in it being soooooo important to get a socialist elected that they are simply blocking out anything that pulls his covers.

Not so..  the liberals on this board are bright and see this stuff.. it is put in front of them and they still say...

"so what?  the end justifies the means"   

I would not feel so bad for the country if I was convinced that the media was all to blame..  But there are many here that are bright and have to admit to themselves that the media is so far to the left and so biased that it is disgusting yet.. they are cheering.. they are cheering the bias.

The end justifies the means.
