It’s always sunny in Philadelphia, or at least it is for the Obama / Biden campaign. Unlike Orlando Florida’s WFTV, which responded with a bird flipping when “banned” by the Obama campaign for asking Joe Biden some tough questions about ACORN and tax policy, CBS3 responded to the Obama campaign’s threats by grabbing their ankles and begging for forgiveness.
