An old post becomes relevant

Now that Joe Biden is hot news, I can do no better than to link to this old post:

Joe Biden, (D, Delaware), is the man with the golden foot in his mouth.

Hysterical commentors of all political persuasions have jumped all over his slightly lame comment, re Indians, 7-11s, and Dunkin Donuts.

If he had his mouth wired shut, Biden might be a candidate for President. But he keeps getting into hot water. Years ago, it was for quoting a speech from a member of the House of Commons without attribution. This puts him miles ahead of most of his fellow senators, who probably don't know what the House of Commons is. (Hint: it's not in Okinawa. Nor is it a house of what used to be called ill repute near Las Vegas, Nevada.)

What brings this on? you ask. I'm glad you asked. In looking at my statistics I notice several google searches about Biden, 7-11s, Dunkin Donuts, etc., which have landed on my site. I have never mentioned Biden, 7-11s, Dunkin Donuts, or even Indian food. The closest I have come to this is mentioning that I now live in Delaware. I haven't even mentioned Delaware that much, preferring to dump on New Jersey, a much larger and easier target.

I mean, Delaware is so small, we only have one Congressman. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. One is plenty. We only have three counties. We don't have any urban cesspools like Newark (NJ)or Camden. No sales tax. Just tolls, which are mostly levied on people who are trying to get the hell out of Delaware and go somewhere else, like New Jersey.

So now I have mentioned Biden, et al., feel free to google these topics and come straight to my site.

Biden is not the worst pick, not by a long shot. I believe he is quite intelligent, for a Democrat.

He isn't the worst B. Hussein could have chosen, but he's plenty bad enough. I wonder what the odds are that all those super delegates could be thinking now of switching and nominating Hilarity on the first ballot? That balloting will provide the only suspense of the whole show.

Actually last time I was there it was free to get into Jersey, but you had to pay to get out at every exit from Jersey at all the one-way tolls.
All I know is that pretty much every single conservative blogger is hearing the Hallelujah chorus in their heads about what this means for Republican chances.

Of course, with all this Dunkin Donuts talk, I gotta head out for a little while...

Can someone PLEASE tell him how awful the hair is? Has no one said this to the man as long as he's been in public life? Really? I find that hard to believe.

I can't even look at him talk, it's so bad.

I believe Biden's hair is a work in progress.
