Well, here we go again.  When I posted this article a while back, I was told I was overreacting.  People emailed claiming Biden must have had a perfectly good reason for scheduling the kind of Cheney-esque secret meetings they’d spent six years decrying.  They said, over and over, it was just a one time thing, and that the meetings probably consisted of nothing more than personal appointments, dinners with friends…that sort of thing. 

“It’s no big deal, as long as he doesn’t keep doing it,” clamored our lefty friends.

Cut to July 29, when the champion of transparency, Joe Biden, will be taking another day of off-the-record, closed press, secret meetings.

The VP’s official schedule says he’ll spend the morning in a closed briefing on the Recovery Act, and then move on to several hours of “meetings.” 

Where are those meetings?  No one will say.  Who are they with?  Sorry, no telling.  What are they about? Please, stop asking questions.

We do know the meetings aren’t about personal business as was suggested last time, since Monday’s timeline contained personal matters (doctor visits) and the VP schedule listed them as such.

If we take the leftist rhetoric of the last six years as precedent, we can only assume he’s locked away behind closed doors, planning the invasion of some poor, third-world nation, while exploring ways to plunder its natural resources.

Go get ‘em Joe…..and thanks for all the transparency.
