Gina Cobb: “I question Biden’s ability to put a sock in it.”–UPDATED

Let the delight begin. Here’s Gina’s post.

John Hawkins calls it a “solid ‘C’ pick“.

Brendan Loy questions the timing:

…but there’s a cell phone in the other room, and it’s ringing. Must be one of your a**hole friends drunk-dialing you, or perhaps a wrong number from a different time zone. Wait, no: it’s Barack Obama! He wants you to “be the first to know” something that CNN and the AP reported three hours ago: Joe Biden is his runningmate!

Allah calls the whole thing “awesomely awesome” and I concur. This nomination made me giddy. Of course, I was disheartened to find out the news via internet. Oh heck, I figured it was him before I went to bed and was spared the 3 a.m. text. Allah says:

The only way this could be more awesomely awesome is if it involved robots. As it is, I’m downright woozy at the thought of what’s in store on Tuesday night.

Hillary for Veep!

Ace is inspired. Totally!

Ah, sweetness…..I’m so glad it’s Biden.

Emily Zanotti had me laughing out loud, as usual. The Pompous Ass Ticket, indeed:

It took me most of the day to recover from the intense, white hot anger I felt at being woken up at three in the freaking morning by a text message to my Blackberry telling me that Joe Biden was about to become Obama’s running mate. Not only did I know this hours beforehand, since cameras were staked out outside of his house and managed to catch a Secret Service detail landing on his front porch just hours before, but if someone was going to wake me up that early, I would hope it would be for something good, like George Clooney…not Joe “Dunkin’ Donuts” Biden.

Ann Althouse’s observation. Go look.
