"...now I know why his name is Biden"

I once worked with an attractive woman who had a strange encounter with Joe Biden. As a young reporter on Capitol Hill, she got stuck in a melee of reporters shouting questions at the senator. Biden saw her plight and invited her to join him as he marched into an elevator. My former colleague was delighted: here was a rare interview opportunity. As soon as the elevator doors closed, though, Biden took out a Snickers bar and inserted the whole thing into his mouth. He then masticated heavily throughout the ascent and walked off without a word.
That’s Joe Biden, the man who could well be the next president of the United States. He’s a weird dude. He may be even weirder than Donald Trump.
Lots of politicians are gaffe-prone: for many, their lack of smoothness is winning. Biden’s isn’t. He adopts that regular-guy manner, but the closer you look, the more phony he seems.
What strikes me about Lucy Flores’s #MeToo account of Biden’s inappropriate kissing of her head – as well as those much-circulated images of Biden being too physical with the opposite sex – is not so much that Biden comes across a pervert. He doesn’t even sound that creepy (for me, the politically expedient timing of Flores’s viral bomb is more sinister). It’s just that he is very, very strange.
His much-reported gaffes are hilarious, of course. But they are also more bizarre than most political clangers. Take, for instance, when he said of Barack Obama, in 2007, ‘I mean, you got the first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.’ Why would anyone say that?
Biden seems to have got lost inside the art of political lying. Remember, in 2008, when Biden berated John McCain for not being man enough to look Barack Obama in the eye. Then remember him dabbing his eyes and eulogizing about his ‘brother’ John McCain’s ‘courage’ and ‘values’ at McCain’s funeral last year. He lamented the lack of substance in politics now.
Perhaps he meant both sentiments at the time. It’s more likely the 2008 Biden was faking; he and McCain were indeed very close. Maybe, like many politicians, he is just capable of believing anything as he says it.
McCain and Biden had much in common. They both suffered terribly: McCain as a prisoner of war, Biden has lost a wife and two children. It is admirable that Biden has fought on through his life. It also might explain why, like McCain, he exhibits a certain anger masquerading as passion, as well as a tendency to like military interventions. He is a hot head. This might also go some way to explaining his unusual behavior with women.
But then, Biden’s whole appeal has always mystified me. Maybe, as a Brit, I just can’t understand that whole good ol’ Scranton boy charm. I just see hairplugs and staged machismo and think fraud. He’s not unlike Trump, in that respect, a life spent too long in the public eye: only Biden lacks the redeeming quality of being despised in Washington.
It’s his long career in politics, the Democratic machine, that has turned him into a very peculiar man.
I suspect Biden got a taste of young girls when he was in China.
It should be noted that in 2008, Biden’s highwater mark in the Democrat primaries was the rousing 3 percent of the vote he received in his home state of Deleware. In 1988, he dropped out before any of the primaries.
I’m still not sure why everyone thinks that Biden would be a good candidate in 2020. In an interview with Katie Couric in 2008, Biden made the observation that “in 1929 President Roosevelt went on TV to reassure the American people...” During his debate with Palin, he said “When we kicked — along with France, we kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon,...” This is a totally false statement, it never happened. Unfortunately, Palin didn’t know better or she would have said “what the heck are you even talking about?”
"...now I know why his name is Biden"
His mother always told him, through gritted teeth, “If you get knocked down, you get back up.”
First, I’ve never heard one man say “I Knocked Joe Biden on hit ass he did exactly what his mommy told him to do.”
Second, did his father ever tell him anything?
Perverts like him have been at it for decades. This behavior is fostered after years just ask any priest.
What will be Trump’s nickname? I predict
“Goofy Joe.”
Joe Biden is just - entitled.
And when you get that special category, not much of anything you do will be reported negatively in the media as it is currently constituted.
In a sane world, Joe Biden would have sunk into obscurity years ago. And become known by all his neighbors as a “dirty old man”.
The author insinuates that our President Trump is a fraud, in his opinion. At least that was my take.
I think it's Hillary-ious that the Lefties are hammering Gropin Joe for not going "Full Feinstein @sshole" when he was presiding over the high-tech lynching of Clarence Thomas.
"Yew murst apolergize to The Anita From Hell!!!"
What was the name that Biden gave to us heartland dwellers that was the equivalent of Hillary’s “deplorables?” “Unwashed” or something like that, I believe.
Somebody needs to identify and interview that trooper.
With Obama gone, the trooper need not worry about his pension being ‘messed with’.
Cute, with a capital ‘C’.
Some infants have a real sense of humor and like surprises.
They have already figured out what usually happens, and spot the exception to the rule.
Then, he fits in with every other liberal just fine.
He had severe brain injury. The lack of filter is indicative that permanent damage may have happened. His inability to stop his desires to fondle people reminds me of patients post accident with frontal lobe damage, and with Alzheimer’s patients who also no longer have any way to stop themselves from touching what seems attractive to them.
But as known brain damaged patients, they are not held responsible for their actions and they are kept by family or caregivers from hurting others. Biden is allowed to roam freely. His is given a sheen of respectability because he is a rich, famous politician. Rich and famous, you can do just about anything.
That picture! It is perfect! The other cat’s expression is on every woman Biden approached from behind!
*smiles*
Biden was never electable.
