The Two Stooges

An edifying quote, from Joe Biden, in the VP debate:
“When we kicked – along with France, we kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon, I said and barack said, ‘Move NATO forces in there. Fill the vacuum, because if you don’t know--- if you don’t, Hezbollah will control it.’
“Now what’s happened? Hezbollah is a legitimate part of the government in the country immediately to the north of Israel.”
I recall that statement--and, yes, it was multi-level stupidity, inarticulate, inaccurate, misleading, absolutely absurd. Of course, Palin made no move to challenge him on it during the debate--something she could have done to great effect if she had the slightest notion of this part of history herself--but she does not. These two are jokes--but Biden looks better (as it were) due to media connivance in smothering his blunders and media connivance in highlighting Palin's.
