After watching Meet the Press this morning, I could write another post about what a terrible job David Gregory does. He would rather use the talking points from the left and right than do the work and use actual facts as the basis for his questions.
However, the most important take away from today's program was that Vice President Biden did a great job. He made sure that David Gregory and the audience were told what the facts are, and he forcefully made clear that he will not permit others to change history or deny the facts. Here is a clip dealing with some recent comments by Vice President Cheney:
In case you decide not to view the clip, here are a couple of quotes.
"All I know is he's factually, substantively wrong,"
Vice President Cheney "is trying to rewrite history".
You really should watch the clip. In fact while you are at the Meet the Press site, you should watch the entire interview. While you are watching think about a couple of things. First, how would Vice President Cheney or President George W. Bush or Senator McCain or Governor Palin have responded to questions like the ones posed by David Gregory. Vice President Biden was in full command of the facts. He was straight forward and articulate and did not put his foot in his mouth. The other thing to think about is which questions by David Gregory did not contain an inaccurate statement of the facts or an inaccurate assumed factual basis. Vice President Biden did a good job correcting the facts and attacking the inaccurate assumptions.
I am proud of Vice President Biden.
Thanks for reading and please comment,
