Who loves Joe Biden?
Biden sets benchmarks for Iraq study group

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic Sen. Joseph Biden (news, bio, voting record), who will be the next chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee, set down benchmarks on Monday that he said should be addressed by an influential panel considering the United States' alternatives in
Uraq,

Biden of Delaware issued a statement as the Iraq Study Group, headed by former Secretary of State James Baker, a Republican, and former Rep. Lee Hamilton, a Democrat, met to decide its recommendations.

Biden said the group must address three central points, including U.S. troop deployments, a political roadmap for Iraq and the need to convene an international conference and engage Iraq's neighbors,
Iran and
Syria.

"If the Baker-Hamilton commission addresses these three issues in detail, it can meet Americans' growing expectations," Biden said. "If it doesn't, it risks forgoing the bipartisan support we need for any plan to leave Iraq responsibly, without trading a dictator for chaos."

13. Who loves Joe Biden? Me -- not so much.
The most dangerous place in D.C. is any space between Joe and a TV camera. Occasionaly he comes up with a stirring speech but he never acts on it -- he delivers a fine rant and then just goes back to fellating the credit card companies. He's a publicity hound and not much more.

One of my former bosses was in small meeting with him concerning VAWA (Violence Against Women Act), and she was very impressed.

15. *choke* *gasp* *cough* -- Uh, not me.
Friggin blowhard hairdo hollow man. Yeah, every once in awhile he raises his snout from the trough and makes semi-coherent noises, but there's NEVER any follow-through.

Biden is a man who never tires of hearing himself pontificate while saying nothing of any import. He's useless. :puke:

18. How about the Violence Against Women Act?
I think there was some serious follow-through there.

19. Ah yes. Such political bravery!
Standing up to all those high powered pro-woman-beating lobbyists!

He's a warm body with a "D" behind his name. I'll give him that.

22. The first legislation to address violence against women and a giant step forward for our nation
Edited on Mon Nov-27-06 11:18 PM by oberliner
According to the Family Violence Prevention Fund:

The Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA) was the first legislation to address violence against women and a giant step forward for our nation. Its passage meant that our federal government finally acknowledged the harm caused by domestic and sexual violence, and put resources into helping victims. Millions of women, children and families are better off as a result.

27. You missed my point. Of course the VAWA is a good thing.
But it's not exactly something that COST him anything to do.

30. Was just addressing the comment about follow-through
He did follow through on his efforts regarding the VAWA.

I understand your point that it wasn't a politically risky thing to do but he did see it through all the same.

25. He got that great RAVE act passed.
You know, the one that could have turned the late Bill Graham into a multiple felon.

Fuckin' Brilliant. :eyes:

16. He's been a problem, but he's also a good person to spearhead this.
He can put a lot of pressure on ChimpCo to get this over and done with.

32. Beat me to it. Loves the sound of his own voice
pontificating about nothing. And has Presidential ambitions, too. Save yourself the effort and money, Joe. You're a boring windbag and the voters of Delaware have already been more than generous to you.

36. I'm still waiting for someone to come out and defend that atrocious RAVE act.
C'mon. Explain to me why every Grateful Dead show I ever attended (hell, pretty much every single rock and roll concert period) was a "criminal enterprise" because there were people in the audience smoking pot.
