His “30 percent chance we’ll get it wrong” is highly optimistic. I’d give it more like 99.99999%...
You might enjoy this from The Corner yesterday.
Biden Being Biden [Yuval Levin]
I think my favorite moment in Vice President Biden’s characteristically peculiar performance before the House Democrats’ retreat this morning is when, having traipsed absent-mindedly into a discussion of his concern about the deficit, he seems suddenly to realize that he’s talking to a group that just voted to vastly increase the deficit, and the shifting of gears almost breaks the transmission:
Anybody remember a time when we're talking about, if we don't make some real changes, deficits that are a trillion two hundred billion dollars a year for as far as the eye can see, if we don't, ah, get it right, which you guys have already?
Or maybe it’s when after about twenty minutes he begins to turn to his actual prepared remarks, which are about foreign policy, but before doing so announces that he has strong opinions but doesn’t really know much:
But let me move for a second to what I was supposed to talk about. I was asked to talk about foreign policy. You know that old joke, you know, an expert is anyone from out of town with a briefcase? I'm out of town, but I don't have a briefcase, and I know a lot of you know as much and more about foreign policy as I do, but it's like that old joke, I hope you Texans aren't offended, but in Delaware that old joke about the Texan who said ‘I don't now much about art but I know what I like?’ Well, I may not know much about it, but I know what I think, and I know what I think we have to do.
Wow.
Be warned before clicking on the video, however: the speech is long and winding. As Politico put it: “During the speech, some members read newspapers or checked BlackBerrys in the warm conference room.”

He discovers that everyone has become stupid from generations of watching television.
The President of America is a black former professional wrestler. Most of the cabinet are mildly retarded.
The characters in the film seem just like Joe Biden. In fact, if Joe showed up in that setting, he would fit perfectly in.

Thanks—had not heard of Biden’s speech before the
Dems.
Palin gets excoriated for non-issues, while Biden made gaffe after gaffe, and it’s just “Biden being Biden”.
No, it’s just Biden being an @ssh#le, as usual.
How did you like Beau Biden getting lifted from his Iraq reservist deployment and getting a gig in the Pentagon.
No, Daddy had nothing to do with that, riiiight!
“If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, there’s still a 30% chance we’re going to get it wrong”
— Joe Biden 2009
Everyone feared that if we ever elected a black president, racist wack-jobs would threaten his life.
Now I get it.
They picked Biden to ensure Obama’s safety.
“No, Daddy had nothing to do with that, riiiight!”
Yeah, and Beau’s being elected Delaware’s next senator after Ted Kaufman(who replaced Joe and wont run) steps down next year, had nothing to do with Daddy.
He has it wrong. The consequences to the country are too great to allow politics to drive the action.
Here’s the RAT senate seats up for reelection in 2010.
Lincoln D-AR
Boxer D-CA
Salazar D-CO
Dodd D-CT
Inouye D-HI
Obama replacement D-IL
Bayh D-IN
Mikulski D-MD
Reid D-NV
Schumer D-NY
Dorgan D-ND
Wyden D-OR
Leahy D-VT
Murray D-WA
Feingold D-WI
Let the backlash begin!!!

Well, isn’t that sweet. My son-in-law has been in Iraq since June ‘08 takin’ up Beau’s slack...
LOL!!
Since it’s insensitive to use his given middle name, let’s assign him a new one: President Barack Porkulus Obama.

Americans had better make them pay for this with their hides in the next election, of I will forever have lost my trust in America!
I don’t think Americans can make that happen. With billions going to ACORN and unions, the fix is in.
Thanks, Mr_Moonlight. I knew Biden reminded me of someone. Except Yogi Berra had a wit and an ability to indicate truths everyone understood as commonsense, whereas Biden makes Yogi Berra-like gaffes that reveal dark intention and plans. But the similarity in the expressions is uncanny.
That's your tax money being used to recruit Democrat voters. If you like that, just keep paying your taxes....absolutely no-one gives a crap about you anymore. You're probably White middle-class scum anyway.

Yup, as mentioned by Ann Coulter back in Oct '08:
