UPDATE 102708 Well, what did the government do to spy on Joe? And why don’t they spy on the other Joe?
Must See Barbara West interviews Joe Biden and makes him CRAZY!
UPDATE: Her response to Biden’s ridiculous assertion that she was MEAN.
The Barack Obama campaign called Barbara West’s interview with Sen. Joe Biden unprofessional and combative.
The veteran WFTV-Channel 9 anchor-reporter says she asked pointed questions and respects Sen. Biden, who is Sen. Obama’s running mate.
In a call to me Friday evening, West (pictured) said of Biden: “I have a great deal of respect for him. I have a great deal of respect for Sen. Obama. We are given four minutes of a satellite window for these interviews. Four precious minutes. I got right down to it and, yes, I think I asked him some pointed questions. These are questions that are rolling about right now and questions that need to be asked. I don’t think I was rude or inconsiderate to him. I think I was probing and maybe tough. I can’t believe that in all of his years in politics, and all of his campaigning and such, that he hasn’t run into some tough questions before. He’s certainly up to it in giving good answers.”
I agree this is the best of Biden yet to come.
He tells her that “he doesn’t know who’s writing her questions!”
A sure sign that she stimulated the Joe Biden we have ALL heard before.
Best interview of Joe Biden ever.
The increasingly erratic, super-gaffetastic Biden was so upset that the campaign canceled an interview West’s station had scheduled with his wife, Jill. The Orlando Sentinel reports:
Why did Barack Obama’s campaign cancel a WFTV-Channel 9 interview with Jill Biden, wife of Sen. Joe Biden? The campaign cited “an unprofessional interview” WFTV’s Barbara West did Thursday with Joe Biden. In a statement Friday, Adrianne Marsh, Florida spokeswoman for Obama’s campaign, said the station, in talking with Sen. Biden, was “both combative and woefully uninformed about simple facts.” Marsh said West’s insistence that Obama was an organizer for ACORN was “100 percent false.” “In a line of questioning that would make Rush Limbaugh proud, West even went as far as to quote Karl Marx, a Communist icon, in a disturbing attempt to associate Barack Obama with socialism,” Marsh wrote. West said, “I think I asked him some pointed questions. . . . I don’t think I was rude or inconsiderate to him.”
Barbara West in your thoughts and prayers. She can expect the Joe the Plumber treatment any minute now.

Biden caught off guard with West, as was Obama caught off guard with Joe the plumber. Both upset because they let their true colors fly. They should be upset with themselves for being twits. Some hot shot politicians. Applause to the TWIT TWINS!
