Our Idiot Vice President
Townhall.com ^ | August 19, 2012 | Derek Hunter

If Vice President Joe Biden didn’t exist, you couldn’t invent him. You couldn’t invent him because no one would believe such a character possibly could exist. No Hollywood producer ever would believe someone that dumb could rise to that level without an “R” after his name.

But if someone did attempt to pitch a TV show with a character like Joe Biden, here is how it might go:

We’ve got this guy, and he’s an idiot. But he’s also vice president of the United States. Stay with me. He says things that are provably untrue, and he does it constantly. And not just untrue but outrageously so.

For example, he tells a crowd of black voters that his opponent is “going to put y’all back in chains” in the south. Then he mocks the woman doing sign language for the crowd with a bunch of hand gestures. But he’s not done.

See, he’s in Virginia, but like a member of Spinal Tap, he tells the crowd he’s in North Carolina. And he does all of this not over the course of a campaign, but in one speech.

As background on his character, this sort of stupidity is nothing new for him. In fact, he’s sort of legendary for gaffes like this. See, he’s VP for the first black president, and when he was running for president himself he called the future president “clean and articulate.” He could end it by saying something even dumber, such as, “That’s a storybook, man.” Even I admit that sounds a bit crazy, that no real human would say that, so maybe not that last bit. Still…

But anyway, we could make him saying dumb things on race a part of his history too. He could say something about going into a 7-Eleven or Dunkin’ Donuts and needing a “slight Indian accent,” or some other stereotypically stupid thing.

Obviously, we’d have to make it an absurdist farce so it would be believable, but that’s doable.

As such, we could give him a full history of lies and saying dumb things.

One option would be to have a scene, years earlier, where he chews out someone who asks him about how he did in college and law school. His answer could be like someone really worried his attempt to come off as intelligent could come crushing down, so he snaps at the guy.

He could say something absurd, such as “I think I probably have a much higher IQ than you do, I suspect.” Then he could rattle off a list of academic scholarships he earned, how he didn’t really care his first year of law school but then started to and graduated in the top half of his class, etc. Only it’s all a lie. He eventually has to admit it was all a lie. His scholarship was based on need, not academics, he didn’t graduate in the top half of his class – he was 76th out of 85 … stuff like that.

Better yet, it’s the New York Times that calls him out on it. Years later the Times will defend him when he’s running for VP because Democrats must be protected, so they paint him as some sort of foreign policy genius. But actually, he will have advised against the raid that kill Osama bin Laden. Absurd, I know. But that’s this character. That’s what makes it a farce.

Just to make it so over the top, so no one would ever think this caricature is real, we can sprinkle in some plagiarism in law school that he’ll pass off as not being sure how to cite things properly. For good measure, we’ll even have him plagiarize a biographical passage from a speech of someone else, because who would believe that?

What do you say? Are we in business?

The producers would look at you and say, “No one’s going to believe that character exists. There’s no way someone with that baggage, that many gaffes, that stupid, could ever become vice president of the United States. But we like the idea, so here’s what we suggest. We change his name to Quayle, make him a Republican and change it from a comedy to a drama.”

That’s about how it would go, but everything I’ve written about the fictional Joe Biden was said and done by the real one. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

So as you watch the media “vet” Rep. Paul Ryan, just remember how little vetting they did of Joe Biden in 2008. Yet what little vetting the media did of Biden was like a colonoscopy compared to the vetting they did of Barack Obama.

If Alinsky taught us anything it is that liberals greatest weakness is being ridiculed, hence projecting.

We need to mock Biden every minute of every day. Then mock Obama for picking Biden and putting our country in danger. We need to mock the Matthews and Madcows for supporting Biden.

And don’t let up. We should ridicule every moderator of every debate in commercials for their open support. Our articles, Ad buys and web videos need t go hard at them.

That is how we win. Remember, it is always the left that calls for civilty after we hit back at them. Well, this time don’t let up.

Nothing special about him.

Like any AAA-candidate, he’s just never sober.

I think the show would be titled; “Dumb & Dumber!!!”

A heartbeat away from the presidency. Just imagine this:

President Biden making a speech to the South African Parliament: "They gonna put ya'll back in the trees eating banana's and call ya'll Chetah."

"Stand up, President Abdul...let everyone see you."Oh, bless your heart, a Preditor missile that I ordered got him yesterday. Well, anyway, you stand up Senioretta Abdullette. Hey, lighting guys...turn up the light higher...the Senioretta's black Zorro dress and hood blend in with that dark corner she's in."

"The other day, while we were cruising around D.C. in Limo One looking for someone to wave at us, I felt the need for a strawberry Popsicle and told the driver to slam on the brakes and stop at the next 7-11 quick-stop. Get it....quick stop at the quick stop? Is way too funny. Anyway, I got out, wanted to mix with all the little people, and walked in. I asked the guy behind the counter if he was a Jew, since he had a New York accent. He said no, he was an Indian. Shocked the hell out of me, so I raised my hand and said 'HOW', asked him why he was wearing a night gown instead of one of those little apron thingies and where his bow and arrow were. Told him I pretended to scalp a lot of Indians when we played 'Cowboys & Indians' when I was a kid, but he just grunted.....didn't even say 'UHG'. His cashier partner also had a white sheet-looking gown on, but didn't have it up over his head. He looked kinda mean and the damn Secret Service guys were playing pin-ball in the corner, so I just smiled and told him I used to know Bobby Byrd....a real good friend of mine. Also knew Tonto."

Ahhhh,,,how I enjoy letting the little people see me. It's really a big f@cking deal to build up their ego's.

Since today is my birthday and I'm an OLD 69 years old, let me show you how, as Rush says, seasoned I am:

First Biden quote was "They gonna put ya'll back in the trees eating banana's and call ya'll Chetah."

Now, change 'Chetah' to 'Babbette'.

Ahhhhhhhhh, life is so frigging good in the obama effing nation.

“If Vice President Joe Biden didn’t exist, you couldn’t invent him. You couldn’t invent him because no one would believe such a character possibly could exist.”

In a way, I have to disagree.

The democrats try to ‘invent’ Biden’s true character in EVERY Republican out there. Aren’t we ALL exactly what Biden is??? -uninformed, bumbling, racist, egotistical, money-hungry, crooked, rich, white guys???

Isn’t this the entire Republican party to them??? Yet, he’s 2nd in line on THEIR ticket... simply amazing.

Everytime he enters the state of Delaware, the average IQ of the state is cut in half.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Just ask Joe Biden, wasting a mind for 71 years.

He’s been wrong so many times on so many issues, that it is not surprising that he got his name wrong on the SAT and LSAT tests.

If Joe ever went to Confesion, the lies alone would take weeks to confess.

When asked about Joe’s acedemic successes, the abbot at the ultra-exclusive Archmere Academy replied: “Well, he was a good athlete.” (TRUE)

...just remember how little vetting they did of Joe Biden in 2008.

There was no "vetting" going on. Biden would make embarrassing statements in public the press couldn't ignore, they would reluctantly report it while reminding everyone how his wife/daughter died in a car wreck when first elected and how he raised his boys on his own. They made him into a lovable goofball cuz he voted the right way. It's not a complicated formula. How else could a serial sexual assaulting, accused rapist President be portrayed as a feminist icon? Vote right...be a press hero.
