Wacky Moments From The Weekend

++Ed Klein of anti-Clinton fame came up with the best scoop. President Obama has OK's Biden's run for the Presidency. He will allow Biden to travel in Air Force One to swing states to deliver policy messages, ostensibly to back President Obama's policies on the employment and immigration. All the while, Joltin' JOe will be putting his President campaign together. The kicker is that Joe will have to swear he will serve only one term and that the Vice President will have to be black. In fact, President Obama wants his good friend Deval Patrick to be Joe's pick.

++Ed Kilgore today has a piece about all the pundit's Joe talk while they ignore what he is saying. Ed doesn't deal with Klein's fantasy.

++Ben Carson actually got thrown off an agenda at an Iowa Christian meeting because his views were too far from orthodoxy. But he came roaring back with his statement that Muslims can't be President because their beliefs run counter to the constitution.

++The Donald spent the weekend debating whether President Obama was a Muslim. Scotty Walker said "he doesn't whether that is correct."

++Mother Jones had an article on Carly Fiorina not paying her staff over $400,000 from her failed Senate campaign. She only forked over the dough when she was ready to run for President.

++Politico printed an article about how Carly Fiorina really was the "worst CEO in American history". It is an eye-opening read.

++But that didn't stop Carly from barn-storming on Mackinac Island where conservatives mobbed her.

++Josh Marshall thinks we should put a fork in JEB! after his tantrum over the ad about how W didn't keep America safe--running through 9-11,Katrina,the Iraq War. Jeb! claimed the ad was from Hillary and he tweeted,"Hillary, you are a New Yorker,you remember what my brother did for the city." When questioned about his own foreign policy credentials,he did say," I am of the Bush family." I don't know whether I agree with Josh because JEB! still has $100 million in the bank. But he certainly has been maladroit. 

++Piyush Jindal says that he wouldn't mind a Muslim President as long as he resembled a Christian.

++The Donald assured the Christian Right in Iowa he was on their side in the War Against Christmas. He said everything had become so PC. 

++Poor Ahmed, the Muslim kid who made the clock in texas and has been invited to the White House. Now we have Ahmed truthers. We don't know whether he was trying to make a bomb or not.

++Andrew McCarthy writes in the National Review about what the Donald should have said to the man who wanted to get rid of all Muslims. It isn't kind.

++Scottie Walker's campaign is close to collapse and he will not just concentrate on Iowa, where he is at 4% in the GOP polls.

++Chris Christie said this weekend that he will become President once Americans see he is huggable.

++Hillary is chirping in on the GOP remarks by blasting their Islamophobia and kooky Christian beliefs.  Is it premature for her to campaign on being the only sane one? Maybe she should hold that until later.
