| Huffasnuffaluffagus Post: Biden should resign on principle over Afghanistan |
| 2009-10-15 |
| Michael Calderone, Politico If President Barack Obama escalates the “disastrous” war in Afghanistan, Arianna Huffington has some advice for Vice President Joe Biden: resign. Planting The Huffington Post, her popular news and aggregation site, in an ever firmer place to the left of the Obama administration, Huffington cited the arguments Biden has made in private against Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s request for 40,000 additional troops in Afghanistan, and wrote that “if the president does decide to escalate, Biden, for the good of the country, should escalate his willingness to act on those reservations.” Huffington’s attack on the escalation plans under consideration by the White House ran under a banner headline which said: “Arianna: Why Joe Biden Should Resign.” ... I don't know what's more absurd: the idea that Arianna Huffington is influential beyond the moonbat-American community, or the idea that Joe Biden has any principles he'd be willing to resign over--or any principles, period--or any idea where he is and what he's doing at any particular moment. |

| #4 And tonights Talk: A fireside chat between Arianna and Joe in la-la land studio.... Leeesten Joe, Excuse me but I waazint done, and yes, Ive got more to say..and excuse me, but without me, you are just Joe. You neeed to leesten Joe, you know. My job is to stop anything that would never---could never---be allowed to succeed and that, Joe, eeez like Afghanistan, Iraq, any of the stans, you know. I am like a wall of defense against anything military. And you're like, what?, checking for lint on yore lapels or something while this sheetz happening. Im not saying your, like, completely useless. But really what is it you do Joe? |

| #3 What principle, exactly? He isn't an adviser, he's the constitutionally elected vice-president. He doesn't even report to the president, constitutionally speaking. It would be like me resigning my job as a tech support goon because McCain wasn't elected last November. Sure, I worked like hell to avoid that outcome, but it's totally orthogonal to my day-job. |
