Watch what happens when a local news anchor asks Smilin’ Joe questions apparently written by McCain flacks:
I think Biden shows an impressive amount of restraint here, and his response at 1:05 is gold. For her part, this anchor seems to believe that ‘journalism’ is a mishmash of discredited smears and a tenuous grasp of Marxism, Sweden, and indeed, reality. Here’s the dead giveaway:
“Isn’t Senator Obama’s comment a potentially crushing political blunder?”
No, but if you believe hard enough, and use enough purple language, maybe it will be in some magical fairyland.
This is an evocative reminder that their are two basic types of journalists in the world: the basically intelligent, who demonstrate at least the rudiments of inquisitive thought, and the ‘actors’, who do their best gravitas impression but are actually morons.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the second variety.
As an aside, isn’t Sweden consistently ranked as the country with the highest quality of life in the world?
Her husband is a Republican Communications consultant in Florida.
Can you tell?
I’m with Robin, the first thing I thought when she asked that was ‘wait, it’s suddenly bad to be like Sweden, in what world?’
Also, when he asked if it was a real question I was very impressed that he didn’t say ‘Are you out of your fucking mind?!?!?’
I love Joe Biden. He just became ten times more awesome because of this video.
