Here comes Joey Boo Boo
Keep your shirt on, Democrats. They've called in their clean-up hitter:
SO WHICH Vice President Joe Biden will show up in Kentucky for Thursday night's critical debate?
Will it be . . . a) the shirtless "Joe Biden" who washes his Trans Am in the White House driveway, who offers guitar lessons on fliers outside the Oval Office, who wore a ponytail to the 2008 inauguration and once headed off to Mexico to cool his heels for a while?
Or will it be . . . b) the vice president who dropped an F-bomb on his boss the day that health-care reform passed, who said the middle class has been "buried" during President Obama's years in office, who once claimed that Franklin Roosevelt addressed the nation on television after the 1929 Wall Street crash (four years before FDR's presidency and a decade before TV) and who posed with that biker lady on his lap?
Or . . . c) the Joe Biden that can fire up a union hall with talk of his Irish-American roots in blue-collar Scranton, a happy warrior who blasts the Republican ticket for wanting to replace Medicare with "Vouchercare" and defends the Obama administration with the line that "Bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive"?
Look, I'm sure if FDR was able to go on TV and calm a jittery nation in 1929 that Biden can have the same impact on President Obama's re-election.
I'll be talking the debate on the Twitter machine tonight and then writing about it on the bark of trees that are right now being crushed into pulp in order to bring the news to people without electricity. See you then!
Will, you gotta use the real pic of him snuggling with th biker chick. That is priceless.— RG- Sitting Presidents have difficulty getting away with calling candidates abominable liars during debates. It doesn't bode well - people don't like it. VPs, on the other hand, can let 'er rip. I expect VP Biden to be in attack mode from the outset, and tip into ad hominem territory.— Murrayman
- I agree with Murrayman, but more than that, I think Biden will let 'er rip because he doesn't care what people think, never has. That's what I love about him. A lot of time the news media calls something he says a "gaff" and I happen to know it wasn't. It just wasn't what the, as TPS puts it, pearl-clutching class of the media wants to hear.— Hamlet
- Can "Joe" articulate why he is a Democrat?
If he does, he'll be the first to do it since some skinny guy with a funny name did it on July 27, 2004.

Biden has forgotten more than Paul Ryan has ever known. I think the righties are going to be surprised at the outcome of tonight's debate. I wonder if Ryan has been coached up enough to dive into some details tonight?— wokmaster- Joe Biden is just a male Sarah Palin.— LouDiamondPhillipsheadScrewdriver
- Only when Biden's funny, it's on purpose. See the difference?— Susie from Philly
- Biden is a clown. If he had an R after his name he would have been hounded out of office. Of course he works for a guy who thinks there are 57 states and believes we have "corpsmen" taking care of wounded soldiers, so I guess he belongs. Of course he is right about one thing, he and 0bamma have buried the middle class the last for years. He hasn't changed since prep school. Yeah, Mr. average Joe is a prep school guy. Catholic one at that. An abortion supporter. Disgrace.— georgel
- "Yeah, Mr. average Joe is a prep school guy." . . . . That's nice, georgel, but did you know Paul Ryan was a 47 percenter, a victim dependent on the socialist Federal government during his high school days?— montani semper liberi
- Didn't stay a government dependent his whole life. His mom worked her way off support and made her way. Didn't become a family tradition of staying on the dole. Isn't that the idea, to give help not create dependents? Democrats want permanent dependents.
— georgel - Dan Quayle was dumb? Dan Quayle was abused by the Liberal media.
Joe Biden is so brain dead its almost sad. But when you are a Democrat guys like Biden are geniuses, because 75% of democrats have a high education only- remember who your core consitituency is............— Manny Trillo - "Dan Quayle was abused by the Liberal media." . . . . You mean the Dan Quayle who said 'The holocaust was an obscene period in our nation's history. No, not our nation's, but in World War II. I mean, we all lived in this century. I didn't live in this century, but in this century's history.' He's no less of a clown than Biden. But it's the liberal media's fault of course.— montani semper liberi
- The Dan Quayle who spelled potato P-O-T-A-T-O-E at an elementary school? Abused by the liberal media hahahahaha!— wokmaster
- Bet he knows how many states there are, never called 0bama a "clean articulate black guy, or any of the other gaffs Plugs Biden has committed. Biden makes that idiot obama look competent. — georgel
