Joe Biden's Loose Lips

Few people in America are less qualified to be president than Joe Biden. Surprisingly, most of them serve in the US Senate.

LOL! How true!

[nmh]

Biden is a silver tongued devil with a sense of humor. He'd easily fool the ignorant.. Yes, he'd give ole Hill some competition. He's smoother and more polished. Hillary is the brute force type. Idiots, er Democrats would be more charmed by him than Hillary.

[MillerCreek]

From "Famous Plagiarists," here's Joe Biden...

[massgopguy]

Proverbial Broken Clock Joe Biden said that the Judicial Committee hearings are a waste of time and candidates should go right to the Senate for an Up or Down vote.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Mr. Biden is not well liked on the Hill. Believe me. He is a putz, pure and simple.

Seems like most of the Dems are bitter and angry.

All they got in life is their pitiful power-hungry egos.

At least Joe Lieberman is a gentleman.

[VRWCmember]

Didn't he pinch, word for word, a speech made by Neil Kinnock, former leader of Brit's Labor (Labour) party?

I should think that would derail any chances he might have to become President.

Not only that, but he also recounted (as if it were his own) some deeply personal story that had been told by someone in the Kennedy family years earlier within about a week of the plagiarism of the Kinnock speech, which he had prefaced as sharing some things that were on his mind. These two instances of plagiarism derailed his candidacy in the democrat primary race for the presidential nomination in 1988, so Dukakis should probably have sent him a plagiarized thank-you card. Of course, Biden tried to reassure his campaign workers by saying, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself".

Was it Joe Biden who said, "Did you know that Bill Clinton is a very good liar?" Whups, no that was Sen. Bob Kerry.

Biden probably said it too. He does tend to "quote" people (usually without proper attribution).

[Servant of the 9]

The brief mention of Biden's earlier speeches glossed over the fact that it was not just once but multiple times he was caught red-handed (red-penned?) plagarizing others. That's more serious than being a blowhard IMO and would properly doom him regardless of Hillary.

He didn't just plagiarize Kinnock's speeches, he plagiarized his life.
What finally was so bad even the liberal press narked him out was his use of a Kinnock speech about his youthful poverty as the son of a poor coal miner.

Was it Joe Biden who said, "Did you know that Bill Clinton is a very good liar?"

Like Bill O'Reilly, Joe Biden sometimes says things I agree with. But like O'Reilly as well, if Biden were a package delivered to my door - I would not sign for it.

[KC_Conspirator]

This morning on Katie Couric, she actually brought up this article and Biden responded by rambling on for 5 minutes.

[Ax]

At the risk of sounding like a pedantic nit-picker, it was KerrEy, as opposed to Kerry.

[PhiKapMom]

I just sent Biden, Kennedy, and Schumer a thank you note for showing the rest of America why electing any liberal from the North East for President, Senator, or Representative is a bad idea. Those three pomposs windbags were the best campaign commercial we can have in flyover country of why not to elect Democrats period.

However bad I thought the RATs in the Senate were, they managed to go even lower. Just think, the three windbags get out in front, make a fool of themselves, and ms. clinton sits back behind the scenes calling the shots. They are all part of the same cloth -- liberals who will do and say anything to get their few minutes of fame.

Now THAT's good! LOL!

[TX Bluebonnet]

It is, though, an innocent thing, as good-humored as the man and of no real policy consequence.

They are trying to spin it seem harmless, but people who can't shut up usually end up saying things they shouldn't.

[winner3000]

(But even before that vote, Biden was urging the president to seek international support for the Iraq effort, not to move precipitously and to have a postwar plan.)

Sick and tired of history rewrites. Bush kept begging the UN for over a year to give him international support to no avail. It just gave the Saddamites time to prepare for us. There is a difference between trying to receive international support (which by liberal definition only means France and Germany) and giving other countries effective veto power over our foreign policy if they decline to give us that support.

[johnny7]

His name is DICK Cohen... right?

[RexBeach]

So it would seem, CH!

But then, they've nothing left but their egos.

The Senate Democrats have no agenda - but whining and complaining like spoiled children.

Hey, have you heard about the most dangerous place in DC? It's the space between the lens of any camera and Sen. Schumer!

[Night Hides Not]

Biden occupies the sensible center of the Democratic Party.

Dickie Cohen almost had me going, then he dropped that little pearl.

Sensible center in the Democratic Party?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Yeah, isn't it amazing when the Democrats put up their "best" to ask questions about ethics and morals with the likes of Joe "Plagiarizer" Biden and Teddy "Chappaquidick" Kennedy?! Un-frigging-believable!

[M-cubed]

It seems that rape, perjury, treason, supporting anti-American terrorists, and just plain stupidity aren't enough.<<<<

Thats right!....and the answer is simple...it boils down to how a liberal "thinks"
A Conservative bases his politics on his morals....
A Liberal bases his morals on his politics...
Hence to a Liberal....the ends always justifies the means!...A ship without a rudder with on a sea of pompous self justification...(See: Narcissist http://www.faqfarm.com/Q/What_is_the_definition_of_the_Narcissistic_Personality_Disorder )

...characterized by a rigid, unremitting conviction of personal entitlement which drives, motivates, pervades, and dominates the entire spectrum of the individual's behavior and actions. This belief assumes an imperious position that supercedes any and all sense of social/community/family/professional association and responsibility. The individual conceptualizes and interprets rules, laws, codes, mores, and values exclusively in terms of a privately/secretly held idea of self-justification and vindication that serves to reinforce and strengthen his/her distorted and contaminated projections, images, fantasies, dogmas, doctrines and practices.
