“[W]hile it is easy (and entertaining) to poke fun at Palin’s ‘I’ve only been at this, like, five weeks,’ working-mom routine, let’s not forget that Biden too employs a particularly noxious form of populism. It’s worth reminding debate viewers that Scranton is not in Delaware, and that the senator is more likely to be found at Morton’s than at ‘Katie’s restaurant,’ a greasy spoon referenced during last night’s debate — and which, according to his hometown paper, closed in the 1980s. In one of his many pro-regulation, pro-big government paeans, Biden blustered that ‘they’ don’t call it ‘wealth redistribution in my neighborhood.’ Of course, in his hardscrabble yet hyper-bourgeois neighborhood of Greenville, Delaware, he owns a $2.5 million waterfront estate, according to the News-Journal.” (10/03/08)
