		<description>Just time for a quick rebuttal, of sorts...

Senator Biden has never been much more than an afterthought or worthy, it seems, of more than token mention, even at the best of times...or worse, lumped together with Dodd (not so bad) or Kucinich (you gotta be kidding me!)...big sigh...

The Franken article will have to wait...I&#039;m late already!</description>

		<description>Elizabeth -

You&#039;re right.  I totally forgot about some of the other candidates, Biden included.  There are a few more idiocies from the media on Biden, Dodd, and most especially Kucinich.  Sorry about the inadvertent omission, but like I said I was pretty busy and just threw this together real quick-like.

Stay tuned, new article coming up shortly...

		<description>Well, I can think of at least one more to add to this illustrious list...

â€˜Joe Biden is a gaffe-prone blowhard Washington insider whose ego and arrogance are second in magnitude only to his love for the sound of his own voice and doesnâ€™t deserve to be taken seriously by us, the mainstream media pundits, or anyone else.â€™

Of course, not ALL of the media and blogosphere (mainstream and otherwise) felt the need to actually verbalize this message and it was much easier to just ignore the candidate and his campaign. Besides, they didn&#039;t have to put voice to the message. They have long since accomplished the task of creating and sustaining that media-driven national myth that surrounded Senator Biden throughout this campaign and which was, as if preordained, gleefully taken up - hook, line and sinker - by a majority of the electorate.

Never before have so many thought they knew so much about one candidate when in actual fact, they know nothing.</description>
