Joe Biden has issued a response to Darth Cheney's prediction that "Iraq will be a self-governing democracy by the time he leaves office”:
It's no wonder the Vice President would say that. Between the hidden meetings with Halliburton on energy, the warrantless wiretapping of Americans, and the vague definitions of torture he uses, Vice President Cheney wouldn't know a working democracy if he fell over it.
Biden's shown more than any of the other Democratic candidates that he has the kind of attack-dog skills that would make a good veep to whomever wins the primary. Richardson might be the one angling for that spot of late, but Biden's got the goods.
