Quote of the day, “Biden fears end of Hopenchange” edition

From the gaffetastic VP:

Vice President Joe Biden said today that if Democrats were to lose 35 House seats they currently hold in traditionally Republican districts, it would mean doomsday for President Obama’s agenda.

Biden said Republicans are pinning their political strategy on flipping these seats.

“If they take them back, this the end of the road for what Barack and I are trying to do,” the vice president said at a fundraiser for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) today in Greenville, Delaware.

We should be so lucky.  (Sidebar: Is it not curious that a Democrat from a red district in AZ is trolling for campaign cash in blue states?  But hey, where would you get the crazy idea that she’s anything other than a “moderate”?)

Anywho, here’s the kicker:

Biden said these House seats are Republicans “one shot” at breaking the Obama administration’s agenda. But if Democrats can hold on to those seats, “the dam is going to break,” he said, and a new era of bipartisanship will begin.

Uh…what?  If the Republicans pick up a bunch of seats in an anti-Obama political climate, yet not enough seats to reclaim the House, then Biden will see this loss of Democrat seats as evidence that “bipartisanship” is the order of the day?  Really?  “Hey, let’s be nice to the Republicans, since they picked up a bunch of seats!  Maybe they won’t pick up as many next time.”  Seriously?

Then what does this mean for the reverse scenario?  Let’s say the GOP doesn’t pick up any seats.  By logical extension, according to the Vice-Plagiarist, a new era of partisanship will begin.  After all, how can “bipartisanship” begin if the Dems continue their stranglehold on our wallets Congress?  Something tells me that “partisanship” doesn’t bother him too much, if it’s coming from his side (i.e. the left side).
