This priceless. An extract from Time.com from a new book by David Plouffe, Barack Obama’s campaign manager, on interviewing Joe Biden for the veep slot. One of the best bits is the notion that being a Senator is being a “top dog” – that and his shtick that he didn’t really want the vice-presidential job:
The [first] meeting started with Biden launching into a nearly 20-minute monologue that ranged from the strength of our campaign in Iowa (”I literally wouldn’t have run if I knew the steamroller you guys would put together”); to his evolving views of Obama (”I wasn’t sure about him in the beginning of the campaign, but I am now”); why he didn’t want to be VP (”The last thing I should do is VP; after 36 years of being the top dog, it will be hard to be No. 2″); why he was a good choice (”But I would be a good soldier and could provide real value, domestically and internationally”); and everything else under the sun. Ax and I couldn’t get a word in edgewise. It confirmed what we suspected: this dog could not be taught new tricks.But Obama still chose him.

Color me completely unsurprised.
Biden is a walking personality disorder.
Who knew?
“this dog could not be taught new tricks.”
No kidding! I’d swear he is Gore’s cousin.
Affirmation that "likes" attract.
So Joe’s under the bus now. This is his reward to supporting the obama show.
At least we know Biden is a Dog! and he ain’t No Pig!!
Heck! He couldn’t be a PIG, or OBOZO couldn’t have chosen him since MUSLIMS aren’t allowed to be around PIGS due to them being deemed UNCLEAN!
As it is turning out, The Plagarizer and Hair Plugs Extrodinaire is turning out to be the Mental Giant of this Pathetic OBOZO Administration!!!!!! :-)
But then again who wants to function as a rabid dog?
You mean he is going to keep crapping on the rug?
That, my friend, is a frightening thought.
The bad part is that they have to keep telling him not to lick himself.
I met Joe years ago when he had first been elected to the Senate.
My boss in the state house asked me what I thought of him.
My answer: “He’s a gas bag who thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room.” Here endeth the lesson.
Should be interesting when Barry’s exposed and Joe becomes POTUS. Not POTUS material, IMHO, but still better than what’s festering in the Oval Office now....
Joe Biden can’t learn new tricks. He had trouble learning the old tricks too. When you see a puppy as stupid as Biden, he is certain to become a stupid old dog. Joe Biden is an idiot.
it will be hard to be No. 2
Well he looks like No. 2
The list, ping
I wonder why he was chosen at all. Any guesses?
