Joe Biden's Gaffes Call For A Thorough Neurological Examination ~ Forbes

FORBES ^ | 8.20.12 | Dr. Henry I. Miller

As the political silly season approaches its climax, the media seem preoccupied with minutiae that have little to do with suitability to hold office or what is good for the nation.  Conspicuously absent is concern about politicians’ intelligence and mental health.

[Elle Bee]

Don’t voters have a right to know whether Biden is ill or merely unlikeable, impulsive and prone to deceitfulness?

Henry I. Miller, a physician, is the Robert Wesson Fellow in Scientific Philosophy and Public Policy at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution.

Glad to see someone else thought that his performance was more than just a crazy debate method, but what appeared to be signs of a seriously damaged person.

How could ANYONE be comfortable with Biden being one step away from the presidency after THAT maniac debate performance ?!?

[ILS21R]

Maybe Biden and Obama can get a “two for the price of one” deal.

[MissMagnolia]

He’s had brain surgery twice for aneurysms ...

Both Joe and his son Beau have had mini strokes

Perhaps the GOP should ask for his health records ... we know Obama won't release his health records either but in light of that performance at the debate, perhaps we should begin the chant to see that the man the dems are asking to serve just a heartbeat away form the Presidency actually has a clean bill of health

...And toss in a tox screen to find out what Crazy Joe was stoned on.

Only one HEART beat away from being president, that is scary.

[Elle Bee]

and his son Beau has just had a couple of mini strokes ... it may be genetic

In light of that debate performance, the GOP should begin the chant to see Joe's health records if he is expected to be just a heartbeat away from the Presidency

that debate performance is certainly reason enough to ask Joe to pee in the cup

I would like to see more journalists ask the question. Because after watching Biden's "performance" again, there were moments he grasped reality and spoke fairly well, but there so many maniacal moments and mood shifts, and times of confusion, and times of mood swings, etc, that it literally scared me to realize that he really is the current Vice-president of our country.

Sure it was funny , but . . . for our country . . .

Scary.

“If English was good enough for Jesus Christ, it’s good enough for Texas schoolchildren.”

Whoever said it (the author does not specify) is absolutely correct!

[humblegunner]

Isn’t that a Queensryche tune?

(“If you found a letter on the ground in front of a mailbox, what would you do with it?”)

Personal confession: I failed a law school entrance exam on this very question.

[Elle Bee]

what's the wrong answer? ... don't you put it into the mailbox?

A known (in the White House) case of dementia would explain why Biden was left out of the loop on the Benghazi situation. (The other explanation being simply that he lied about all that.)

[DustyMoment]

Let’s do the tests AFTER he is retired next month. As VP, he is the gift (to conservatives) that keeps on giving!!

Biden is, without a doubt, the stupidest (or most demented) person to become VP and his so-called “gaffes” reflect his level of ignorance and arrogance.

I recall him once telling a room full of “journalists” that he was “the smartest person in the room.”

Ok, in THAT particular situation, he may have been right!! But, the rest of the time - let’s just say that there’s a reason that even zero keeps him out of sight as much as possible.

[Gertie]

Oh, he brings out a lot for people, Like “One Flew Over The
Cookoo Nest”, “Catch 22”, “Area 51”, “Enemy at The Gates”, “The Inmates Have Taken Over The Asylum”, although he looked more like a poster boy for “Preparation H” to me, what a jerk.

[Elle Bee]

don't feel badly ... they let Joe stay in law school after he was caught plagerizing one of his papers
