EVEN MARTHA RADDATZ THINKS JOE BIDEN’S PERFORMANCE WAS ‘TOO BIG’
Since the vice presidential debate between Paul Ryan and Joe Biden, conservatives and liberals have been at loggerheads over several questions — questions like, “Was Biden too rude?” Or, “Was Martha Raddatz a good moderator?” Generally, among liberals, the answer to the former is “no” and the answer to the latter is “yes,” while with conservatives, the answer has been the reverse.
But no one has asked what Raddatz herself thought of Biden’s performance, at least until now. And even if conservatives didn’t like her performance as moderator, they might be pleasantly surprised at what she had to say on that topic. Near the tail end of the second part of this week’s “This Week” on ABC, Raddatz told the panel that Biden’s performance was simply a mismatch for the setting, and came off as bombastic even to her (emphasis added):
Well, let me tell you one thing. For instance, I didn’t see Paul Ryan drinking all that water, ever, because when I was asking — because you’re so in the moment, and you’re asking Joe Biden a question. But I think right away, you knew what the strategy was.

Only a wife would put up with the crap that Joe Biden dished out.
Thank you Mrs. Martha Biden for your unbiased moderating.

“Too big”
I need pretend to say something that seems to be negative about Biden in order to maintain even a shred of a smidgeon of an iota of credibility among sentient human beings

What’s funny is that Raddatz joined Biden in tag team attacks on Ryan with the intent of helping him but it backfired as the net result was that it enabled Biden to look even worse with his Grampa Jackass act.

@Birdie Num Num: I guess Axeldouche didn’t tell the right hand what the jackass left hand was going to do.
