Don't tell "Tax and Spend" Joe to lower your taxes!
[VIDEO AT SITE]
VP Biden walks into a frozen custard shop in Wisconsin Friday. Full story in the L.A. Times Top of the Ticket blog:
After Biden gets his custard, he asks the store manager how much he owes him.“Lower our taxes and we’ll call it even,” the manager replied.
Biden didn’t acknowledge that. Refusing to even look at him, Biden turned and....
...walked away from the manager, appearing to just blow him off.
It’s odd that Biden didn’t have something to say because politicians get hit on this all the time. Republican or Democrat, people always tell elected officials they want their taxes lowered.
You would expect a “God love ya, we’re doin’ everything we can to get the economy jump-started again.”
A few minutes later, Biden is caught on video again telling the manager: “Why don’t you say something nice instead of being a smartass all the time? Say something nice.”

The guy has more class than our VP!
Thin-skinned bunch of little crybabies, aren’t they? As the pressure builds, we’re seeing more of this.
LOL! Yep. Obamalamadingdong's insurance policy runs deep, too. Pelousy is behind Biden and until last night Sheets was behind Pelousy. Hillary would have been after Sheets. That's a deep bench if you axe me.....
This ice cream guy is nicer than I’d have been....I’d have pulled a few of Joe’s hair plugs out, and probably be in jail now.....
Bill Engvall’s “dork-fish” comes to mind....
Why yes, Joe, I do believe that I have more smarts in my ass than you have in your entire body.
... One of the Little People - who pays taxes and is YOUR BOSS Joe!
The whole story appears in an NYT article by none other than E.J. Dionne. In addition to claiming he has a higher IQ than the questioner (unprovable either way without getting test scores for them both), Biden insisted that he had three degrees from college (when in fact he had only one, albeit that with a double-major.) He claimed to have been recognized as the "outstanding student" in his college political science department, when in fact he had only been nominated for an award (which he didn't win). Biden claimed to have had a full academic scholarship to law school, when he actually had only a half-scholarship based on financial need.
And most incredibly, at least to me, Biden also claimed to have graduated in the top half of his law school class. That was an incredible whopper, since he actually graduated 76th out of a class of 85 -- a class rank that reflected, but was not by any means the result solely of, the F he got in a first-year course after he was caught having plagiarized five times from a law review article in a class paper he submitted.
That plagiarism, of course, was dramatic foreshadowing to his plagiarizing from speeches of Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock, Hubert Humphrey, and Robert F. Kennedy during his aborted bid for the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination."
It’s funny how most people think of the perfect retort AFTER the event. I’m sure the guy WAS speechless afterwards because up to that point, everything seemed hunky dory. I’d like to think I would have retorted, “No, YOU have that reputation! And remember that you work for us.” But Biden probably would’ve audited, harassed, or done a Ft. Marcy Park on anyone who said that.
