Rudy Giuliani: Biden lacks ‘mental capacity’ to hold office
dailycaller ^ | 8-15-12 | Jeff Poor

Joe Biden’s remarks Tuesday in Danville, Va. about the Republican presidential ticket returning some people to “chains” upset a lot of Americans, but former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is advising voters not to take the vice president seriously.

Giuliani jabbed at Biden on Tuesday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “The Kudlow Report,” saying that the remarks would have been cause for excitement if they were made by a mentally capable politician.

“I think if it came from somebody serious, maybe we would get all excited about it,” Giuliani said.

“But I think the vice president of the United States has become a laugh line on late night television. I mean — I have never seen a vice president that has made as many mistakes, said as many stupid things. I mean, there’s a real fear if, God forbid, he ever had to be entrusted with the presidency, whether he really has the mental capacity to handle it.”

“I mean, this guy just isn’t bright. He’s never been bright. He isn’t bright. People think well, he just talks a little bit too much. Actually, he’s just not very smart.”

Host Larry Kudlow suggested Biden’s remarks are part of a broader smear campaign against Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his recently selected running mate Paul Ryan — a strategy which Giuliani explained is President Barack Obama and Biden’s only shot at re-election.

“It’s is only chance of winning, Larry,” Giuliani said. “It’s his only strategy. He can’t run the way Ronald Reagan ran. He can’t run the way Bill Clinton ran. He can’t go to the American people and say, ‘Are you better off now than you were four years ago? Here are the things I promised. Here are the things I delivered.’”

Ridicule is a most potent political weapon.

Its taken the GOP decades to figure this out, after having been on the receiving end all that time.

Better late than never.

Well, what Rudy has to understand, is that Joe gets a pass because he’s a good Democrat.

He can talk to a largely black audience and tell them that the policies of Romney/Ryan will put them in chains, but, it’s all good because he’s Democrat. Can you imagine if a Republican had said that?

Remember the time Hillary told a black audience that the GOP was running the House of Representatives like a plantation, and “you all know what I’m talkin’ about”?? Can you imagine a Republican getting away with that???

Remember when Hillary drawled in a black accent, “Aahh don’t feeelll noooo waaays tard”. She was imitating a black writer, if I recally correctly. But she didn’t just quote his words, she put on the black accent.

Democrats can get away with things which Republicans would be crucified for.

Back when Obama was elected, some people (including myself) thought that Biden was insurance against impeachment or assassination.
Nobody otherwise dedicated to the USA would try to remove Obama if they thought that his replacement would be Biden...

Pardon my politically incorrect words, but Joe Biden is a retard, an idiot boy, someone who is not hitting all six cylinders, an imbecile, a moron- the only one in this world that could make bo look like The Smartest Man in the World.

Hush Rudy. We all know Biden is an idiot, but don’t make Obama think he needs to get rid of him. There must be a reason why Obama keeps a court jester around him. We have a boy king, who fancies himself a despot, but it is so darn hard he takes refuge in golf. He has an evil, conniving adviser who is so corrupt she got kicked out of Mayor Daley’s administration, and she is joined by a sleazy, corrupt Chief Justice. Where would that trio of half-whites be without their bumbling white fool? They are perfect for bringing down a nation that has nothing in common with them, except for serfs in search of food lines. ...Where is Shakespeare when you need him?

“...she put on the black accent.”

I watched more of Biden’s speech last night on C-span. It appeared to me that he did the same thing several times.

Biden is life insurance

I’ve been telling people that the only time Obozo is the ‘smartest man in the room’ is when he’s the ONLY man in the room. I suppose I could amend that now to say that if BiteMe is in the room with him, Obozo would still be the ‘smartest man in the room’, but not by much.
BiteMe is Obozo’s life insurance, which is why they seldom appear together outdoors.

Joe Biden hopes to someday be as smart as a Sea Cucumber.

The cherry on top would have been if Biden said “you people”
first!

As I said earlier, Biden will be Walpin’d and removed from the ticket.

Rudy takes the first step; Biden is an addled old man, maybe it’s onset dementia?
