[ Joe Biden's Loose Lips ]

Joes lips have always sucked..

[newgeezer]

To this very day, whenever I see Biden, I think "plagiarist."

As for his presidential aspirations, I can't help but recall how Gary Hartpence's 1984 presidential campaign was cut short by a bimbo eruption. But, just eight years later, America selected Bill Clinton to be her Philanderer-in-Chief. Twice, even.

So, I wouldn't be surprised if society becomes similarly complacent regarding plagiarism, if it hasn't already. Because, from what I've heard, plagiarism is becoming as common as adultery.

[AppyPappy]

Why are you pointing the cameras at him? I'm right here.

[Dilbert56]

The plagarism reflects a lack of self-control. The pandering to Princeton then bad-mouthing Princeton then wearing that stupid hat show a lack of self control. We just got over eight years of a president who lacked self-control and it damn near ruined our country.

What do you think?

Well based upon the following I'd say that once in a blue moon or two ol' Joe does get something correct. I think he is correct with his following words....

As the committee headed into its fourth day of hearings on the Alito nomination, Biden told NBC's "Today" show that a better solution might be to skip hearings and send nominations straight to the Senate floor for a vote.

"Just go to the Senate floor and debate the nominee's statements," the Delaware senator said, "instead of this game."

But his tendency, his compulsion, his manic-obsessive running of the mouth has become the functional equivalent of womanizing or some other character weakness that disqualifies a man for the presidency

I don't think womanizing disqualifies a man from the Presidency, with the exception of James Earl, it has seemed to be a requirement for Democratic candidates for the office at least post Truman. The Kennedys, Clinton, et. al. seem to have raised it to something of an art form. (Along with assorted Senators and Congressmen, mostly but not exclusively of the Democratic side of the aisle)

Cohen writes, " The tragedy is that Biden, who is running for president,"...

In my opinion, "the tragedy is that Biden is EVEN running for the presidency".

[jmaroneps37]

"The only thing standing between Joe Biden and the presidency is his mouth.. "
Smoking that stuff again eh richie?

[george76]

Even his hair is fake.

"He is an anatomical disaster. His Achilles' heel is his mouth."

even katie beat him down on the today show, questioned the fairness of comparing the kkk to the CAP club and reading the article written about him and his mouth I was shocked

[PhiKapMom]

Exactly and why I thanked them for being the face of the Democrats in the Senate -- their soundbites are priceless in a campaign.

[Plymouth Sentinel]

Thanks.

Great Tag. Great.

[Plymouth Sentinel]

I'm speechless.

[VRWCmember]

I'm speechless.

Well that's just one more way you're different from Biden. He's never speechless, even when he doesn't have anything of his own to say.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Some people say that that's not Biden own hair. I say that's a damnable lie. You pay $6,000 for something, you own it.
