Biden Pwns Lightweight Reporter

The conventional story line in the media this week has been that Biden is a gaffe machine. While his prediction that Obama will be tested in the first 6 months was a boneheaded line, he consistently does himself and the campaign credit during media interviews. Like this one, where he destroys bushleague questions from a lightweight reporter.



The whole video is worth watching (and the reporter's defense of her questioning may be found here), but here is the money shot of idiotic questions and solid responses:

Barbara West: You may recognize this famous quote. "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs." That's from Karl Marx. How is Sen. Obama not being a Marxist if he's intending to spread the wealth around?

Sen. Joe Biden: Are you joking? Is this a joke?

West: No.

Biden: Or is that a real question?

West: That's a question.

Biden: He is not spreading the wealth around. He's talking about giving the middle class an opportunity to get back the tax breaks they used to have.

I know this has been a pretty mean campaign. I was on a television station the other day and doing a satellite feed to a major network in Florida. And the anchor quotes Karl Marx and says in a sense, "Isn't Barack Obama Karl Marx?" You know I mean folks, this stuff you're hearing, this stuff you're hearing in this campaign, some of it's pretty ugly.
