Missing in Action: Stimulus Sheriff Joe Biden .....

Remember when President Obama bragged about Joe Biden's fiscal discipline cred in 2009? "To you, he's Mr. Vice President, but around the White House, we call him the Sheriff," Obama warned government employees. "Because if you're misusing taxpayer money, you'll have to answer to him."

Fast-forward to 2012. Call in the search teams. Since being appointed the nation's stimulus spending cop, Sheriff Joe has taken a permanent donut break. He's AWOL on oversight. In fact, he's been bubble-wrapped, boxed and kept completely out of sight. The garrulous gaffe machine hasn't sat down for a national media interview in five months.

Can anybody doubt that suburban moms won't respond negatively to news that the Obama Education Department is moving to undermine school discipline by requiring a quota system for suspensions and expulsions rather than basing punishment on the actual incidence of violations?

It really is the culture, stupid.

Corn On Romney Video Timing: Wanted To Figure Out "How We Can Use It".....

"He started digging, made contact with the source and without knowing what the source had, he then put me in touch with him. And then -- you've done this, Howie, I spent you know, two weeks or so going back and forth with him. 'What do you have? How can we use it?'
