DUE TO THIS PUTZ I WAS STUCK FOR 2.5 HOURS IN TRAFFIC

 I kid you not...from Gresham Oregon to Sw Macadam Blvd it took 2.5 hours today. Biden was in town for a stupid fun raiser at the Tiffany Center. What did all this cost? A fortune in tax payer bucks. Air force two flying in, super security, air security patrols, staff and the list just goes on & on. When are these guys going to buckle down and go on a cash spending diet like 99% of Americans???  This ass makes me sick. They always say the party picks up the tab for fund raisers! YEAH AND I HAVE LAND TO SELL YOU IN KABUL!

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The motorcade of Vice President Joe Biden caused traffic tie-ups on Portland-area freeways Thursday afternoon.

Biden is in town for a fundraiser for Congressman Kurt Schrader. The event is scheduled to be held at The Tiffany Center on Morrison Street in downtown Portland.

Several people called the FOX 12 newsroom at about 1 p.m. to ask why stretches of the freeways were closed.

The motorcade shut down exit ramps along Interstate 205 and Interstate 84 between the Portland International Airport and downtown Portland.

By 1:10 p.m., the motorcade had arrived at its destination, but a media statement from the Oregon Department of Transportation warned that drivers should expect long delays due to the backups.

Frankly, I suspect that you wouldn't have been nearly as sick if it were VP Cheney. But, yes, traffic was bad today.

I agree...get over it. It is what is it...no matter who it was visiting the city.

But then, ODOT and OSP could have joined Joe and closed the freeway for six hours so as to conduct another bladder busting, Traffic Calming, Reconstruction Investigation. Think of the additional damage that could have dealt to our already fragile and faltering economy.

Joe Biden is the biggest A-Hole in America. He is so stupid he cant shut his moron mouth and he insults everyone wherever he goes. He is a typical imperial royal democrat. leaving working people to sit on a freeway in 100 degree heat as the imperial democrats roll by in their taxpayer funded limousines. Biden is just like Obama, scum of the earth. Biden and Obama are scum. A friend of mine went to high school at Punahao in Hawaii and he always laughs about Obama. Obama was a scumbag pot dealer in high school and everyone knew it.These guys are ruining america more and more every day. They want to destroy the ambitious and achievers in society so that the non contributors in society dont feel so bad about not doing anything. These guys make me puke. Vote Republican this fall and help svae this country for our kids. I hate Biden and his hair plugs. His wife is hot though. And frankly speaking, I would crack her open like a shotgun and make naughty on her nether regions until she squealed like a school girl

Who cares!

I think Biden is a POS but he is the Veep and is thus in demand for fundraising (not fun raising, there's nothing fun about it.)

I don't like Schrader either, another POS from my perspective but he needs to raise the money to run a campaign. Campaigns are expensive. You have to be on TV and TV spots can cost thousands of dollars in prime time.

How else are you going to talk to the voters. These campaign spending limits keep coming up but the fact is you have to tell the voters your story and that costs money.

Free TV shows or spots? No one would watch the shows and shows and spots would cut into revenue. I don't think you want BBC style free TV.

So, the traffic jam is something we have to put up with. Yeah, you get frustrated when a normal 15 minute trip takes two and a half hours. Just consider it one of the prices we pay for freedom...even if Biden and the Obamanation want to stifle freedom with their socialist policies.

WEBMASTER: You really should delete Chuckie's rants & raves on this blog. it is getting old.

[PC Man]

Why didn't he politely waste the airspace instead and respect us by taking a helicopter?

Anyway, I'd rather go hunting with Dick Cheney than for a drive with a pal of Ted Kennedy's. Probably a good thing they kept the traffic away from him.

[James]

Marna, you may not like Chuckie but sometimes he tells it like it is. Sometimes he is way off in left field. This time, he was basically right on.

Typical politician. Could care less about the public until they want your vote.
Let's see, traffic tieup in 100 degrees with no air, Biden, Schrader........
That's a no vote, for sure. Besides the fact they are running this country into the toilet.

[chuckie rabinowitz]

Hey marna, you a fat pig and you smell bad where no women should smell bad.
