I once worked with an attractive woman who had a strange encounter with Joe Biden. As a young reporter on Capitol Hill, she got stuck in a melee of reporters shouting questions at the senator. Biden saw her plight and invited her to join him as he marched into an elevator. My former colleague was delighted: here was a rare interview opportunity. As soon as the elevator doors closed, though, Biden took out a Snickers bar and inserted the whole thing into his mouth. He then masticated heavily throughout the ascent and walked off without a word.
That’s Joe Biden, the man who could well be the next president of the United States. He’s a weird dude. He may be even weirder than Donald Trump.
Lots of politicians are gaffe-prone: for many, their lack of smoothness is winning. Biden’s isn’t. He adopts that regular-guy manner, but the closer you look, the more phony he seems.
What strikes me about Lucy Flores’s #MeToo account of Biden’s inappropriate kissing of her head – as well as those much-circulated images of Biden being too physical with the opposite sex – is not so much that Biden comes across a pervert. He doesn’t even sound that creepy (for me, the politically expedient timing of Flores’s viral bomb is more sinister). It’s just that he is very, very strange.
His much-reported gaffes are hilarious, of course. But they are also more bizarre than most political clangers. Take, for instance, when he said of Barack Obama, in 2007, ‘I mean, you got the first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.’ Why would anyone say that?
Biden seems to have got lost inside the art of political lying. Remember, in 2008, when Biden berated John McCain for not being man enough to look Barack Obama in the eye. Then remember him dabbing his eyes and eulogizing about his ‘brother’ John McCain’s ‘courage’ and ‘values’ at McCain’s funeral last year. He lamented the lack of substance in politics now.
Perhaps he meant both sentiments at the time. It’s more likely the 2008 Biden was faking; he and McCain were indeed very close. Maybe, like many politicians, he is just capable of believing anything as he says it.
McCain and Biden had much in common. They both suffered terribly: McCain as a prisoner of war, Biden has lost a wife and two children. It is admirable that Biden has fought on through his life. It also might explain why, like McCain, he exhibits a certain anger masquerading as passion, as well as a tendency to like military interventions. He is a hot head. This might also go some way to explaining his unusual behavior with women.
But then, Biden’s whole appeal has always mystified me. Maybe, as a Brit, I just can’t understand that whole good ol’ Scranton boy charm. I just see hairplugs and staged machismo and think fraud. He’s not unlike Trump, in that respect, a life spent too long in the public eye: only Biden lacks the redeeming quality of being despised in Washington.
It’s his long career in politics, the Democratic machine, that has turned him into a very peculiar man.

I don’t enjoy an article that insults Trump more than several times.
I’m surprised you do.
I am very concerned the way he groped the state trooper.
Don’t forget, Biden has had brain surgery for aneurysms.
I have a friend who is a long term interventional vascular surgeon. He says that only about 5% of the people who have that surgery escape without any damage, and that Biden’s not one of them. He’s likely lost some brain cells in the area responsible for self-control.
So Hillary put the word out, good 'ol Joe is now to be discussed as a creepy molester. And the media, which had kept all this quiet for years, is unleashed to lay it down now. She is killing his candidacy right in the cradle.
Might be some form of dementia...
Re #2:
Get over yourself.
I’ve written this on FR a bunch of times.
It was spring of 2009 and I was on vacation in DC.
Walking past the west side of the WH, suddenly all the traffic pedestrian and vehicle was shut down by security.
After about 15 minutes, a convoy of black Suburbans comes out of the driveway and SlowJoe is waving to the crowd.
A guy in a thousand dollar suit turns to me and says “If Biden didn’t have a chauffeur, he wouldn’t be able to find his way home for lunch”.
He’s had at least two brain surgeries, so there is that.
Joe is not happy being sent to the showers and told to GO HOME ,LOL
What do you mean “what’s the matter with Biden”? folks?
He’s just another run-of-the-mill filthy predator that needs to be locked up and the key thrown away.
Like he’s anyone special from being Zero’s court jester and deciding he’ll throw a Make America Like Russia hat into the ring to doing some photobombs with someone’s precious little one.
Biden’s gonna’ get the beating of his life if he gets the nomination. Just imagine the fun that Trump will have tearing him apart.
More like very pervy than weird.
This article is definitely amateur hour.
Biden’s actions go well beyond “weird”.
Well, that would be convenient! ?
I can’t wait for President Trump to debate Slow Joe. The guy is the living embodiment of the Democrat establishment and the global is government, without which President Trump would just be mr. Trump. The fact that Slow Joe is a perv is going to make it just all the more fun. Even if he weren’t a perv, it would be a dream matchup for President Trump
This is an attack from the left to make sure an “electable” white male does not get the democrat nomination. Republicans would love to spend months running commercials showing groping Joe in action.
