Paul Begala: “He didn't say that he would just make cynical political deals. And I think that's what this is.”

So, I have my concerns with the way Abdul is running his campaign.

He has a mandate to cut the cost of groceries, gas and rent. He promised to cut the cost of energy in half.

But the kind of, just, dopey slurs coming from this dim-witted vice president — this charmless oaf — you can have him.

He didn't get elected because folks want to buy Greenland. He got elected because folks want to buy groceries. And he, by God, better cut the cost of groceries, gas and rent.
