“One other thing, my wife says I’m being a little heartless but this whole bit about Joe Biden choking up everytime he talks about his first wife’s death and raising his kids up alone is a little too much.
Am I being too cynical on this? My wife thinks I am. I just find the tears and choking up on cue during the debate and out on the stump a little too much for me.”
I’m a sentimental and like to think of myself as a caring and compassionate person. I mist up over various things, including at times Extreme Homemakeover and some of the posts on FR. That said, call me cynical too when it came to Joe on the debate - - it really seemed like a put on to me to get sympathy (that’s what I thought to myself at the time). I just didn’t buy it.
Me too -- he's just another smary politician doing a poor Clinton imitation -- remember when he was caught yukking it up at Ron Brown's funeral, then saw the camera and instantly turned on the waterworks with down-turned lip?
