Jesse Jackson, Jr. has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which means that he has experienced a psychotic break (manic episode). Where are the calls for him to resign? Is it appropriate to have a psychotic person in a position of power?
(I can't believe I found a way to use THAT word in the same sentence with a rat!)
I’m sure if one looks hard enough, it will be found.
While it doesn’t happen all the time, people who have brain aneurysms can lose the ability to stop themselves from saying inappropriate things. After my grandmother had an aneurysm, she would get real nasty with people (before that, she wasn’t the most pleasant person in the world but afterward, she got really nasty).
I have psychologically tested many brain injured patients - my opinion is anyone who has had two surgeries for brain aneurysm, should never be Vice-President.
No, that behavior can’t be blamed on an illness or condition. Biden behaved that way because he is a boorish jerk, plain and simple.
He has a brain? Who knew?
I still think Biden was drunk.
I think it’s likely Joe’s laugh lobe was left affected.
Biden appears tempermentally unsuited for the office. He needs a thorough medical exam and the results of that exam needs to be made public. This is a serious issue that goes beyond electoral politics.

Dont voters have a right to know whether Biden is ill or merely unlikeable, impulsive and prone to deceitfulness?
SAN DIEGO, October 10, 2012 In January, 1988, Vice President Joe Biden, then Senator from Delaware, was diagnosed with two brain aneurysms. In February, 1988, he underwent surgery to repair one of the weakened/ballooning arteries on one side of his brain. Shortly thereafter, he suffered a blood clot in his lungs known as a pulmonary embolus, which required timely, life-saving hospitalization and treatment. In August, 1988, the second damaged artery on the other side of the Vice Presidents brain was surgically mended in a 270 minute operative procedure under general anesthesia.
People with a history of blood clots, brain surgery and/or brain aneurysms are at a significantly increased risk of stroke (a laymans term to denote a lack of blood flow and oxygen to brain tissue due to a clot-induced vessel blockage or outright vessel rupture and bleeding). The Vice President, today, remains at an increased risk for stroke.

The Dems probably support Biden 1000% just like McGovern supported Eagleton 1000% back in 1972.
We remember how that went!
If Joe Biden had a brain operation, it would be exploratory surgery.
I think the definition of “working order” is the issue here...
Folks would be surprised to know how many senior Senators with metal plates and brainstents in and on their skulls made and make decisions that affect all of us. just sayin’.
I’m familiar with PBA as I have a neurological disease. Biden didn’t display PBA symptoms because with PBA you can’t turn it on and turn it off.
If it had been a true PBA attack, he would have been laughing through his own responses and not able to answer a question, not just turning on the smirking and jeering everytime Ryan spoke.
With PBA, you literally cannot control it...what was going on with Biden looked very “controlled”...almost as if it was practiced or scripted. I think it was his plan all along. Fortunately, it didn’t have the impact they perceived it would have, just made him look like an overbearing and rude old man (reminded me of the miscalculation by the dems from the Gore/Bush debate, and the Wellstone funeral.)
Did Boehner have one too?
This would help explain several “things” about Bidet. I always thought he was just a village/state idiot (DE), but a lingering medical condition is nothing to laugh at. Whoops, that didn’t come out right...
He was like that joke I heard. If you want to scare people, act all friggin crazy and out of control, speak irrationally and they’ll leave you alone.
