Melissa Harris Lacewell and Rachel Maddow discuss the possibility of President Obama letting his loose canon of a partner get all crazy on the 2010 midterm scene.

RELEASE THE BIDEN!!! I love this idea. Obama can be out there only so much before the media gets tired of him being in, "campaign mode." Oh, the media. They've been complaining about how he's detached or beige, or whatever, and that he should be "fired up" like this more often. Anyone with a brain knows for a fact that if Obama would have been getting all scary guy populist on the Republicans like this  since, oh, I dunno, let's say July, we'd have talking heads across the nation suffering from strained optic nerves because of all the eye-rolling they'd be doing when the "dog" barked hard in Mister Boehner's direction today.

Another positive in the Deploy Biden Plan is that he's a cool guy with a hot wife who can talk some shit. Americans really eat that stuff up, and since Barack Obama doesn't really talk shit... [and 'tis the season for shit-talkin'...] RELEASE THE BIDEN!!!

It's not just Biden, though. The White House should try to get everyone they possibly can out there and into the tussle. Hills, Rahmbo [while they can], Axe, T-Kaine, Stonecold Austan Goolsbee; the whole damn crew needs to be on red-alert.

Look, the American fundamentalists Tea Party and their _gop sidekicks are for sure treating the midterms like a street fight. Since the majority of this country doesn't ever feel bad for the losers of a brawl in the back alley Team Obama may as well forget about the non-existent highroad, bust out the leather jackets, and give the media and the people who respond to polls the midterm-pre-party-steel-cage-death-match they're practically begging for.

So, Let's see how 'crazy Uncle Joe' does in his opening salvo on  The Colbert Report tonight.  >>> SPOILER ALERT!: He Thanked George W. Bush. Crazay, man.
