Biden Daughter Blasts Trump

Birther 'makes me ill,' she says on Facebook

(Newser) – As Donald Trump brings new media attention to the birther movement, the White House is keeping mum—but Joe Biden’s daughter isn't. Ashley Biden slammed Trump on Facebook last night, saying he "makes me ill...bring it on!" She added that “this discussion or debate over whether or not President Obama has an American birth certificate is just so insulting!” And, later: “Boycotting the Apprentice!” A rep for the vice president refused comment, Politico reports. (Click for the latest on Trump, who has operatives in Hawaii probing Obama's birth.)

The daughter of a useless zero.....that makes her less than zero. Here is some advice little skank. Go do a few lines. Then take your top off and maybe, if you are really lucky, Joe Francis will take pity on you and put you in one of his GGW videos. That is the best you will ever do for yourself.

Statements by Biden himself have no meaning and zero relevance to anything. His daughter's opinion would be several notches down from that.

His gay-marriage comments 'sped up history': Steve Kornacki

(NEWSER) - Liberals are celebrating a hero in the White House, and his name is ... Joe Biden. The vice president's comments on Sunday in support of gay marriage clearly "sped up history," writes Steve Kornacki at Salon , and gave President Obama "no choice but to say what he’s been scared to say since taking the national stage." It's a role reversal of sorts for the pair. More»

Trump Revisits Birther Issue at Bachmann Event

He's still not convinced by Obama's birth certificate

(NEWSER) - Donald Trump took part in a "telephone town hall" meeting with Michele Bachmann last night—and they both had plenty of praise for Donald Trump. The tycoon hasn't endorsed Bachmann, but the call marked his most extensive public event with a 2012 Republican candidate, the Los Angeles Times notes.

Biden: I Didn't Go to China to 'Explain a Damn Thing'

Point of Asia trip was not to soothe financial fears, he explains

(NEWSER) - Joe Biden's nine-day Asia trip ended on an, ahem, colorful note. After explaining on Monday that he "fully understands" China's much criticized one-child policy, he ended the tour today by giving what the Los Angeles Times calls a "pep talk" to US troops in Japan ... where he explained that he "didn’t come to explain a damn thing." Well, OK! Apparently he wanted to clarify that the point of his overseas jaunt was not to calm fears about the stability of the US economy. More»

Bin Laden to al-Qaeda: No Point in Killing Joe Biden

Veep doesn't wield enough power to be worth assassinating

(NEWSER) - Osama bin Laden wanted to assassinate President Obama—but Joe Biden? No point in bothering with him, the al-Qaeda leader told his followers. Amongst bin Laden’s records, “there is a note indicating that the vice president is not an important target because that position has less weight,” a US official told ProPublica . Who else was important? "Military chiefs like the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the defense secretary, top military people." More»
