Joe Biden’s Senate Replacement Named
By Wyatt Earp | November 24, 2008
Oh my God, they’re appointing Art Garfunkel! This guy will still make Biden-esque gaffes, but he’ll do it in a melodious voice.
Well, at least he is a highly-experienced politician, ready to take over a United States Senate seat.
/Snark.
Gov. Ruth Ann Minner has named a longtime aide to Sen. Joe Biden to fill the U.S. Senate seat Biden will be vacating for the vice presidency.
At a news conference in Wilmington, Minner said she would appoint Ted Kaufman to fill the vacancy.
It was not immediately clear if Biden would resign his Senate seat before or after he begins his seventh term in January. However, he must resign before being sworn in Jan. 20 as vice president. (H/T – CBS3)
So, this guy’s qualifications are what, exactly? He was Biden’s aide? He is a close personal friend?? He mowed the Biden’s lawn??? Cripes, if it’s that easy, I am going to quit my job and start hanging out with Arlen Specter. I mean, he has to be close to retirement now, right?
Good job, Delaware. You’ve embarrassed yourselves again.

Well, at least it took your mind of Philly and their FU’s… Pretty sad, the only qual is he worked for Biden??? WTFO???
AHHHH! Wyatt, don’t post pictures of the Crypt Keeper! I can’t handle the horror so early in the morning!
[...] November 25, 2008 by groovyvic Wyatt Earp tells us that Biden’s Senate replacement has been named. [...]
Wyatt, your plan has one slight flaw. It asumes someone would want to give Arlen another job before his term expires. I’m still flabberghasted that he’s kept the one he has.
Do they all look like that up there?
BZ – Easy like Sunday morning.
Old NFO – And a close personal friend. Ha!
GroovyVic – Sorry about that, but I needed the pic to make the Garfunkel comparison.
Cbullitt – Our fellow voters are morons. Of course, the GOP rarely puts someone decent against him.
Admiral – Have you seen me? I’m a troll! It’s in the water.
Hello darkness my old friend …
Doghouse – And when you say, “old,” you mean really old.
