Biden makes an ass of himself so often that he is easy to make fun of, but don’t ever turn your back on the SOB. Remember that it was Biden who led the smear of Judge Robert Bork, stopping Reagan’s choice for the Supreme Court in his tracks. Because of Biden, instead of conservative Bork, we were saddled with Justice Kennedy who has screwed conservatives again and again. Imagine all of the rulings that came down to Kennedy’s vote in the last 25 years, and how much better off the country would have been if we had Justice Bork instead of Justice Kennedy. If Gay Marriage is ok’ed by the court this year, it will probably be Kennedy’s traitorous vote that turns the decision. Joe Biden built that.
Biden is an idiot, but idiots can be as dangerous as an intelligent plotter. There are some who are smart enough to act stupid. I don’t think Biden’s is an act, but he can still do harm.
People also forget that Biden, in his day, actually added something to the language: he was the person who first used “above your pay grade” as a belittling insult, and since then management mediocrities have used it at every opportunity to sadistically torment underlings. Thanks, Joe.
