Rove: Biden a 'blowhard' and 'liar' Politico Carol E. Lee Carol E. Lee – 1 hr 48 mins ago Karl Rove called Joe Biden a “blowhard” and a “liar” in response to some of the vice president’s comments about the Bush administration. "He’s a serial exaggerator. If I was being unkind I would say he’s a liar, but it’s a habit he ought to drop,” Rove said on FOX News. "You should not exaggerate and lie like this when you are the vice president of the United States.” Rove's comments are the harshest and most pointed yet in an ongoing feud between Biden and Bush administration officials, including Vice President Dick Cheney. The former Bush adviser was referring to Biden’s comments earlier this week on CNN that he and President George W. Bush once had an exchange in the Oval Office, where Bush said, "Well, Joe ... I'm a leader,” and Biden responded: “Mr. President, turn around and look behind you. No one is following.” "It didn't happen," Rove said. "It's his imagination. It's a made-up, fictional world. He ought to get out of it and get back to reality.” Rove, who called Biden a “blowhard,” also took aim with Biden’s previous remarks that he had spent "a lot of hours alone" with Bush. "Joe Biden was never alone with the president for more than few moments," Rove said. "There was staff in the room the whole time." Biden spokesman Jay Carney told FOX earlier this week, "The vice president stands by his remarks."

I was on unemployment for two weeks. It went back a year to figure your benefits, so, you had to have been employed a calendar year from your most recent claim. It was a minefield of ways you could be denied. Once I got a job, they tried to get the money BACK, saying I hadn't been unemployed long ENOUGH! The base period covers a year, ending with the quarter before the calendar quarter in which you make application. And yes, the law is complex to insure that people who draw are actually entitled to benefits. You do not have to be employed the full year to draw benefits.
