Associated Press:
Biden says gun control votes 'only the beginning'
Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday the expected upcoming Senate votes on gun control are only the beginning of the White House's fight.
The fate of gun control legislation is unclear. A vote on a Senate bill, including expanded background checks and harsher penalties for gun trafficking, is expected next month.
The White House also has been pushing for limits on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, but those provisions won't be part of the Senate bill. Instead they are to be offered as amendments, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says they don't have enough support to pass.
"That doesn't mean this is the end of the process. This is the beginning of the process," Biden said during a conference call organized by Mayors Against Illegal Guns pushing for the gun control measures.
"The American people are way ahead of their political leaders," Biden argued. "And we, the president and I and the mayors, intend to stay current with the American people."
And there is nothing in the article calling out Mayor Bloomberg's organization "Mayors Against Illegal Guns" for being corrupt as hell with many of the 'mayors' having criminal records.

The Joe 'ashtray' Comment comes from this new book. From
Newsmax:
Roger Ailes: Obama Is �Lazy,� Biden �Dumb As an Ashtray�
Fox News chief Roger Ailes says President Barack Obama is �lazy" and claims the commander-in-chief �never worked a day in his life," a controversial new book claims.
Ailes also takes shots at Vice President Joe Biden, saying, �he�s as dumb as an ashtray,� and at Newt Gingrich, who he says is a �sore loser.�
In his upcoming biography, �Roger Ailes: Off Camera," author Zev Chafets writes that Ailes reacted to a crack by Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen that Ann Romney, wife of last year�s Republican presidential candidate, �never worked a day in her life,� with his own blunt opinion of the president.
A bit more:
Ailes, who granted Chafets one-on-one interviews for the biography, also takes the gloves off on Vice President Joe Biden.
�I have a soft spot for Joe Biden. I like him. But he�s dumb as an ashtray,�� Ailes says.
