Joe Biden Hasn't Resigned from the Senate, but He Did Sign a Secret Promise Note

POSTED BY: Mary Phillips-Sandy

Yesterday vice president-elect Joe Biden was released from the railcar of silence in which his boss Barack Obama has had him kept, lo these many weeks, so he could sit down with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos for an interview.

When asked why he hasn't resigned from the Senate yet (uh, he hasn't resigned from the Senate yet?), Uncle Joe let fly a bunch of malarkey about how his greatest achievement was being elected by the people of Delaware, not the people of non-Delaware America, so he wants to be sworn in again, for kicks.

GEORGE: But you're not going to stay on and try to preside…

BIDEN: No, no, no, no, no, absolutely not. I've already — if I haven't done it — to be honest with you, I think I've done it, but if I haven't done it, I've signed a letter, will sign a letter saying, notwithstanding the fact I'll be sworn in the first day, I have no intention of staying up until the day that I am sworn in as vice president. Secondly, I yield responsibility to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to John Kerry. No, I have, no.

To be precise, Joe Biden "yielded responsibility to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee" by pinky-swearing with John Kerry in the cafeteria.

They sealed the deal by giving Mitch McConnell a swirlie.

Sarah Palin To Break Glass Ceiling on Behalf of People With No Foreign Policy Experience

POSTED BY: Dylan Ris

For far too long, the office of vice president has been off-limits to members of the following demographic groups…

* Women

* People with no foreign policy experience

* People who don’t realize that the vice presidents before them did in fact have foreign policy experience

Well watch out, glass ceiling: Sarah Palin is a member of all three groups! Most notably the last one…

During her interview with ABC News' Charlie Gibson Thursday, Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin attempted to deflect a question about the fact that she has never met a foreign head of state by saying that "man" other vice presidential nominees in history hadn't met a head of state either…

"Have you ever met a foreign head of state?" Gibson asked Palin Thursday.

"I have not," Palin said, "and I think if you go back in history and if you ask that question of many vice presidents, they may have the same answer that I just gave you."

However Palin, who obtained her first passport two years ago, would in fact be the first vice president in 32 years who hadn’t met a foreign head of state, if she were elected.

That's right, Governor. Even Dan Quayle had done it, (although he needed a Latin translator of course.)

But so what if Palin's a little behind the curve on this one? In every other way, she could fit right in with that old boys club of Al Gore, Lyndon Johnson and Teddy Roosevelt.

I mean, all those past VPs issued a war threat to Russia in their first national interview, too, right??

The Bush Doctrine, as Sarah Palin Understands it, is a Sandwich Served on an Enlogated Roll Filled with Various Types of Lunch Meats and Cheese

POSTED BY: Dennis DiClaudio

One of the shitty things about liveblogging is that — while I'm writing some stupid comment about something stupid — I often end up missing really key moments and then I get all pissed off at myself and have to slam my head into the desk.

My head is killing me right now…

I can totally sympathize with a small town mayor/hockey mom/pitbull with lipstick not knowing what The Bush Doctrine is.

But when the possible 45th President of the United States doesn't know what it is, I start looking up instructions for building personal bomb shelters.

LiveBlog: Sarah Palin's Coming Out Interview

POSTED BY: Dennis DiClaudio

7:00 – This probably didn't do Palin any good or any bad. Total break even situation.

My guess is that we'll hear a lot of wildly divergent takes on this series of interviews over the next few days.

Like Plain herself, people will read into this what they please.

6:59 – Well, that was underwhelming. Too short. Questions shaped too similarly like softballs. Lots of rambling, and at least one scary comment about Israel.

But, on the other hand, she spoke in complete sentences, she didn't shoot Gibson in the face, and she clearly knew Charlie's name. And that's all she really needed to accomplish.

6:58 – Let's not talk about my crazy comment about God. Let's talk about my son going to Iraq instead.

6:57 – Oooooo! Crazy Christian talk!
