Joe Biden is probably wondering about now how it is the blogosphere can leap to the defense of John Kerry's "botched joke", slam the corporate media for psychoanalyzing Hillary's "evil men" , and yet be on him like a pack of wild hounds for "complimenting" Obama.
There are two very simple answers, and all it took to find them was a bit of creative googleing of daily kos:
"will not forget" bankruptcy
You'll notice that the very first link is to this article:
Holding them accountable
Senator Biden, this is what accountability looks like in 2007. If you were counting on the short memory of the traditional punditry and the electorate, you counted wrong. Kos vowed then that your presidential ambitions were over, and apparently he's not alone. You sold your country out to the creditors, and at least some of us haven't forgotten it.
That's the first answer. But there's another answer hidden in those search results:
Training Democrats to do the right thing
You see, we've known since 2005 that your candidacy was sunk. This isn't just about you, Joe. This is a reminder to all of our weak-spined "representatives" that just as we can and will grant cover to courageous democrats, when we withdraw that cover-fire, you are left standing alone in the political battleground surrounded by a very hostile traditional media.
I hope you enjoy your last few days or hours on the campaign trail!
