So Biden says yesterday that it is patriotic for the people in this country who make over $250,000 a year to pay more taxes. He says that they should step up to the plate and take on the burden based on how moch they make. McCain turns around later in the day and says that Biden said that it is patriotic to raise taxes. Talk about a reach...or maybe he just didn't understand. He reminds me of the Gilda Radnor Character on Saturday Night Live, "Emily Litella". Anyone remember this exchange on SNL?

Emily: Whats all this fuss I keep hearing about violins on television? Now why dont parents want their children to see violins on television? Why, I thought the Leonard Burnstein concerts were just lovely. Now, if they only show the violins after 11:00 at night, the little babies will all be asleep. And they wont learn any music appreciation. Why, they'll end up wanting to play guitar, and bongo drums. And go to Africa and join these rock and roll outfits. And they wont drink milk! (Slams fist pn desk.) I say there should be more violins on television! (Chevy taps her on the shoulder.) and less game shows! Its terrible! the way they...what, what?!

Chevy: Miss. Litella, that was violence on television. Not violins. Violence.

Emily: Oh, well thats different.

Chevy: Yes.

Emily smiling: Nevermind
