This 1974 profile article about Joe Biden by Kitty Kelley could sink his 2020 candidacy. Not only does it reveal an uncomfortable level of creepiness by Biden but it also exposes his bigotry, ignorance, corruption, and arrogance plus political views that are taboo in the current Democrat party.
This was the infamous & creepily bizarre 1974 article about Biteme, who lamented the death of his wife (whom apparently he corrupted with his degenerate politics — Neilia had been a Conservative Republican) because he missed the sex and that he showed off a photo of her to the author, noting she had a “better body” than a Playboy Playmate.
Oooooo-Kay.
That's not creepy, no it isn't...

CIRCA 2012 Crony capitalism & Joe Biden’s brother
NY POST By Charles Gasparino
October 23, 2012 | 4:00am
James Biden isn’t a big name in the business of residential housing development, so what exactly qualifies him to work at a construction company and share in the winnings of a $1.5 billion project to build affordable homes in Iraq?
If you said it has something to do with his last name, the one shared by his older brother Vice President Joe Biden, you wouldn’t be far off. At least that’s the guess of some Wall Street analysts who cover the Marlton, NJ-based company Hill International and think they’ve seen yet another sordid tale of crony capitalism.
Hill has been around for decades; its main business is managing construction projects in the Middle East and here in America. It’s built a good reputation over the years, as has the father-son team who run it, Irv and David Richter.
But the bursting of the real-estate bubble took its toll; Hill shares are down 80 percent since 2008. Since 2011, the company has reported losses. Its Middle East business has also been stymied by the Arab Spring uprisings; in Libya alone, Hill is out $60 million in payments that it’s still trying to recover.
But it got some good news not long after its housing subsidiary hired James Biden as an executive vice president in late 2010. Just six months later, Hill won one of its biggest contracts ever, a $1.5 billion deal to build at least 100,000 affordable homes in Iraq.
A good deal for Hill, a relative newcomer to building homes — and for James Biden, who as one partner will get a good share of that $1.5 billion.
The deal is contingent on the Iraqi government providing financing, which it has yet to do, but Hill execs tell analysts the money could start flowing by the end of the year. That’s when everyone involved, James Biden included, will start collecting on tens of millions of dollars in profits.
One friend of James Biden’s estimates his net worth at around $7 million, yet he seems to have a remarkable lack of concrete business experience. An attorney who’s done work for him called him a “serial entrepreneur,” but didn’t name the startups he was responsible for.
Hill chief Irv Richter called Biden a “good salesman” and the firm’s Web site describes “40 years of experience dealing with principals in business, political, legal and financial circles across the nation and internationally.”
(James Biden also had a relatively short and somewhat controversial run as a co-owner of a hedge-fund company with Joe’s son Hunter. The company, as it turns out, was marketed by companies controlled by now convicted Ponzi schemer Allen Stanford. Neither Biden was charged, but the fund company is now winding down its operations.)
No, James Biden’s obvious value comes from his connection to the Obama administration. Richter assures me that James’ ties to Joe played no part in landing the plum assignment in Iraq or any of the other government-related jobs Hill has received recently.
Really? Connect these dots: Both the Iraqi government and the Obama State Department played roles in helping Hill win the assignment, Richter concedes. And Joe Biden is President Obama’s point man on Iraq — a country where people expect politicians’ families to be “taken care of.”
Also key is TRAC Development, a South Korean firm that won the master contract for the Iraq work. And — huh! — James Biden and his wife were guests of President Obama and Michelle for last October’s state dinner honoring the president of South Korea, Lee Myung-bak.
All one big coincidence?
Well, Richter insists that, while Biden’s name and connections might open doors when government business is on the line, that doesn’t guarantee success. “If he had the name Obama, he would get in the door easier,” Richter joked.
During this month’s vice-presidential debate, Joe Biden told Americans to just ignore all that stimulus money that went to administration-connected failures like Solyndra. Crony capitalism, he insisted, hardly exists with Joe Biden and Barack Obama watching the store.
Maybe that’s why the veep, after making that dopey statement, was laughing so much that night.

BTW, one thing I noticed about the dead wife from her college pic is how much she kinda resembled Plugs in the face. At least, I thought there was some resemblance. Of course, Plugs being a malignant narcissist, I wouldn't find it odd at all he'd marry someone who might look like himself.
“Will this article kill Joe Biden’s candidacy”
Did he sing a Kate Smith song or something?
Funny that it was plagiarism that took Plugs out of the Presidential race 3 decades ago... and that was before this bizarre article had a chance to be used. Had he made it to the nomination in 1988, Lee Atwater would’ve nuked this creep to dust.
Bump
I have no idea why you posted this to me. You must have gotten me mixed up with somebody else.

There was a madness to my method... ;-)
Okay.
ImVho, ALL of the DIMocRATS are “sunk” already & whomever the DIMs nominate will “go down in flames” in 2020..
The leftist/hate-FILLED Dims are already FINISHED for 2020 & perhaps for several elections thereafter.

Thanks fieldmarshaldj.
Google made the Bernie rape stuff disappear...
What about inventing the verb, To Bork?
In a rational world, of course... but half of our population has been victimized by a an unprecedented PR campaign that would make Goebbels blush, and literally millions of people are being urged to break our border laws and our voting laws. Our own party works against our President, and against our wishes.
This will not be he slam-dunk, 500-38 Electoral win that it should be.
A Google search on "Bernie Sanders Rape Fantasy" gives plenty of results for me just now.
(I typically use DuckDuckGo, personally.)
It was a classic George Costanza moment. I think George got his moves from watching old Biden interviews.
Whoever the Democrats nominate will be the Designated Mondale of 2020.
It’s not the magic torpedo and won’t sink him but it does some damage.
