Game, Set, Match

On last Sunday's airing of "Geraldo at Large" on FOX News, the ultimate blowhard Ann Coulter provided her ludicrous commentary on the recent verbal sparring between Vice President Biden and Mr. Cheney over terrorism and both the current and former national security policy. Aside from declaring that she "would have been with Dick Cheney" on every issue concerning national security, Coulter insulted Vice President Biden by calling him a "drunken Irishman". She also remarked that having Vice President Biden respond to Mr. Cheney's statements is akin to "sending out the White House dog, saying 'We so don't respect you, we're sending in Joe Biden'".

First of all, Vice President Biden has never taken even one drink of alcohol, admitting frankly that there are "too many alcoholics in my family". Therefore, Coulter has managed in all of her infinite wisdom to label an individual who does not partake in alcohol as "drunken". But just when you think that Coulter is finished, her shrill voice unfortunately utters this gem: "How about comparing Joe Biden with Sarah Palin? She's twenty million times more qualified than he is." You can tell by the tone in her voice that she really doesn't believe what she just said. However, if, for some reason, she actually does, let's examine her comments by comparing Vice President Biden and Palin:

Is there a need to continue counting at this point?
