Socially Slow Laughin’ Joe
The New American ^ | 12 October 2012 | Selwyn Duke

One of the most important qualities in a leader — in fact, in anyone who must manage, and negotiate with, people — is having a feel for man’s nature. This brings us to what has not yet been explored about Joe Biden’s bizarre behavior at last night’s vice-presidential debate: what it tells us about his grasp of reality.

For the record, it’s clear to me that Biden’s overtly obnoxious, condescending manner was the result of an act. But the vice president is a phony from way back. In 1988, it was discovered that he plagiarized a speech by British Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock and, even more incredibly, appropriated elements of Kinnock’s life story to weave his own false life narrative. This forced Biden to quit the ‘88 presidential race, yet people today consider him qualified to be a heartbeat from the presidency.

If time heals all leftists’ scandals, however, it doesn’t heal all their character defects. As recently as 2007, Biden was falsely claiming that his wife and daughter were killed by a drunk driver in 1972. Now, they were killed in an auto accident, a tragedy any which way you slice it. And a surviving loved one has every moral right to talk about how such an event affected him — assuming he is sincere. But is this a logical assumption in Biden’s case, when he clearly embellished his tragedy for campaign-trail consumption? It’s reminiscent of Al Gore’s story about how his sister’s 1984 lung-cancer death inspired him to become an ardent foe of big tobacco, when in reality he was trumpeting his tobacco exploits while running for the presidency four years later.

Per some reports, he trained for 6 days for the debate. Of course, it was an act. It had one purpose and that was to distract from real issues.

What was the morning news talk about:

Benghazi? No
Medicare? No
Joblessness? No
Tax cuts? No
Social Security? No
Nuclear Iran? No
Joe being Joe? Yes

He made the debate results about HIM and not about the issues. It was a 90-minute distraction, and it worked.

Crazy Joe is neck-and-neck with Paleface Lizzy in the WHO CAN TELL THE BIGGEST WHOPPER OF A LIE CONTEST. My money’s on Paleface Lizzy. I have it on good authority that tomorrow morning, she’s going to claim that she’s a black homosexual man who practiced horse dentistry with a license from Guatemala.

Of course it's not an act. The man had brain surgery three times ~ all unsuccessfully.

He's due a fourth trip.

This will only get worse as the dead cells begin outnumbering the live cells and his brain literally rots in place.

Joltin' Joe is on his last legs ~ or dendrites ~ fine!

It is just terrifying that this person could be President.

He is so off balance- act or not- a person in line for Presidency should not be acting this way. If he is mentally ill, he needs to go.

My father-in-law said pretty much the same thing- he was a farmer, old school, so he was a man of few words that had the effect of a sledgehammer.

I never thought I’d see someone give “AlGore as the Mary-Kay Gurl” a run for the title of “ultimate debate troll” but joe took the title.
