Best Biden Ever

It appears Joe Biden measured up(?) to Barack Obama's high standards.

Obama bypassed what I believed was the safe pick (Bayh Bayh Biden)and did go with someone who'll be a challenge.

I can only hope Joseph ROBINETTE Biden Jr. will spend a lot of time in Iowa, it's the scene of a few of Biden's Best and the scientific community is united in that fact.

In an Iowa debate, in his 1988 Presidential bid, Biden plagiarized Neil Kinnock almost word for word from a Kinnock TV commercial designed to evoke memories of the British class struggle.

Where Kinnock's coal-mining ancestors worked "eight hours underground," Biden's somewhat mythical forebears "would come up after twelve hours." Biden in the past had given credit to Kinnock, but in Iowa he introduced the fiery rhetoric by deceptively claiming, "I started thinking as I was coming over here . . ."

He was in Iowa, he would have been better off thinking of Nile Kinnick.

Last year, in Des Moines, Biden was on the money when he said...Americans must not vote for inexperienced, likeable presidential candidates, then hope the winner can get up to speed after the election.

While trying to tell kids at Des Moines East High that he would be "the education president unlike any president has in American history", Biden referred three times to Iowa's Junior Senator as Tom Harkins.

Biden and Harkin(s) have been in the Senate together for over 22 years.

Obama has been known to borrow words without attribution, maybe that's one reason he picked Biden.

Maybe he borrowed, from Biden, the pay grade statement last Saturday.

It will be interesting to see how they spin the CHANGE angle with someone who's been in the Senate since 1973 and dance around bad lobbyists when one of Biden's sons, Hunter, is a registered Washington lobbyist.

Talk to us Joe!
