The Biden gaffe machine, again
...Obama can probably buy enough ads to bury how bad his judgment was in selecting a VP candidate and he will. The rest of the mainstream media will also ignore his dufus pronouncements. He is just another example of how misplaced the liberal assertion that they are smarter than everyone else is.Tooting his own horn while vandalizing his running mate's, Biden bragged: "I've forgotten more about foreign policy than most of my colleagues know." Yeah. Colleagues like that guy who had a mere 143 days of Senate experience before launching his presidential bid and choosing you to shore up his meager credibility, Joe.
In fact, Biden has spent the entire campaign questioning his running mate's judgment. Last month, he mused out loud: "Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. . . . She is easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America, and quite frankly it might have been a better pick than me."
Biden assailed the campaign's position on clean coal, openly criticized its idiotic ad attacking McCain for not using e-mail and warned the pro-gun-control Obama: "If he tries to fool with my Beretta, he's got a problem."
Nightly news shows still haven't tired of replaying Palin's infamous interview with Katie Couric. But how many times have they replayed Biden's botched interview with Couric last month - in which he cluelessly claimed: "When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened.' " Er, what really happened is: Roosevelt wasn't president when the market crashed in 1929. And TV was in its infant stages, not available to the general public until at least 10 years later.
During the VP debate, Biden demonstrated more historical ignorance that Palin would never be allowed to get away with: "Vice President Cheney . . . doesn't realize that Article I of the Constitution defines the role of the vice president of the United States, that's the executive - he works in the executive branch. He should understand that. Everyone should understand that." Article I covers the legislative branch, not the executive. You'd think someone who has served 36 years in government - and is quick to remind others of his high IQ and longtime Senate Judiciary Committee chairmanship - would know better.
Biden's erratic and gaffetastic behavior is the least of America's worries. He's an incurable narcissist with chronic diarrhea of the mouth. He's a phony and a pretender who fashions himself a foreign-policy expert, constitutional scholar and worldly wise man. He's a man who can't control his impulses.
And he could be a heartbeat away.
