So Wrong Williams’ latest column reports on the right wing fantasy that, somehow, Joe Biden will withdraw as Barack Obama’s running mate on October 5. The batshit crazy wingnuts on the right dreamt up this fantasy after hearing Biden say that Hillary Clinton is qualified to be Vice President, perhaps more so than he. The fantasy also seeks to fan the flames of the dying if not dead resentment Hillary Clinton’s supporters have over her not being chosen VP, and not winning the nomination in the first place.
Of course, Ron debunks the rumor in his column with….what a shock…..facts. But why did a false and far fetched fantasy need to be debunked in print by a respected columnist in the first place? Don’t have anything to write about this week, Ron? I think you do. The financial market meltdown, perhaps? Mike Castle’s possible role in that, as a ranking member of the Financial Services committee? John McCain’s insane and disasterous behavior this past week? Sarah Palin? The splate of polls showing various landslides across the state?
No. You decided not to discuss those topics with today’s column. You decided to write about fantasy. So next week, please cover the following rumor that I am just making up with no basis in fact: John McCain is a maverick.
