at least with bushism, people were paying attention because he was the president, and other important people were usually present when they happened with bidenisms they always seem to come in front of a crowd of a few dozen local yokels whose names don't matter. that means the bidenisms dont matter imho if you want to make yourself useful, follow hillary around and report on what she's saying to international figures who mostly DONT have american interests at heart . . .

Great point about the whole Bidenism column. I don't know that Hilary is saying anything stupid, but then again, I don't have some column following her gaffes.

simply that slate is totally ignoring her foreign policy efforts in order to publish a "humorous" column of biden malapropisms

this isn't reporting, of course - its the abdication of reporting

don't the american people deserve to know what we're promising places like . . .

- india, which has already defied the non-proliferation treaty, and has illegally occupied parts of kashmir which were supposed to have a UN supervised election to become autonomous

- pakistan, which is also in violation of the non proliferation treaty, is sheltering bin laden, and has provided military assistance to various and sundry terrorist efforts such as the mumbai massacrists

- moscow, which has been aiding and abetting iran's quest for nuclear weapons
