Did this happen ALREADY????

Moscow Rolls Obama, Euro Missile Defense Apparently Shelved. Remember Biden's forecast? See here:

From the article: "While the headlines all blare "Russia suspends missile plans in Kaliningrad," the real news is "Why?" " Read the whole post for a chronological list of events. If true, then this is very bad. (HT:CG)

Biden apologizes to Roberts

Via MSNBC (HT:HA):

Sources familiar with the conversation say Vice President Joe Biden telephoned Chief Justice John Roberts last week to apologize for a remark he made about the chief's memory.

"My memory is not as good as Chief Justice Roberts's," Biden said last Wednesday, as he prepared to administer the oath of office to new senior White House staffers. The remark did not appear to go over well with President Obama, who did not smile, though some in the room laughed. Biden's remark came the day after the infamous flub that occurred as Roberts led Obama through the oath of office.

Here's the original video of the offhanded remark by Biden:

I'd say we should expect more of this from Biden. MUCH, MUCH more. Then again, Obama did NOT look happy, did he now? Maybe he told Joe to keep the trap shut?

Biden: “I’m the most experienced vice president since anybody.”

Can you imagine if Dan Quale had said this? He would have been skewered! (and often was much much less)

In any case, Betsy Newmark writes I knew Joe Biden was going to be fun. "You'd think that a man who got into trouble for plagiarizing someone else's biographical speech and for arrogantly telling a man questioning him that his IQ was higher would refrain from such grandiose self-promotion. But he just can't help himself."

Ouch and double ouch.

More here from powerline: "He's also the first vice president "since anybody" pathetic enough to feel compelled to defend himself in this fashion, much less to claim that he knows as much or more as his predecessor. Moreover, Biden's experience -- decades in the Senate -- plainly does not compare to that of Cheney, who had been White House chief of staff, Secretary of Defense, head of a major corportation, and influential member of the House."
