He admitted to a secret bunker that everyone knew existed. Big deal, well, unless you find the bodies that Cheney has stashed.

You've hit the nail on the head...He's a loveable old drunk, who can be the life of the party...
But the last thing we need in the WH, is a drunken old fool....

He's also a racist. He's made openly racist remarks without a whimper from the LW media, while George Allen utters a nonsense word, apologizes for his non-offense profusely. Not good enough for the Washington Post which prattles on about the phantom offense for weeks, and costs Allen the election.
First off: WAHHH!

You've made a glaring omission from your description, and that is Biden made an honest reference, not an insult, to a racial group. Biden never directed any racial insult at someone like Allen did. He made an honest enough gaffe to not reveal any racist hatred like Allen let slip out. And what cost him the election is Webb was better.

SNL doesnt have a field day with Biden because, gaffe's aside, he's not a dottering old fool like McCain was or, even worse (but SUPERB for comedy and caricature) a Barbie doll bimbo who can see Russia from her front porch and "kinda knows" what a VP does.



Joe Biden, like his commentary or not, he is experienced and he;s good people.

Keep up the great work Joe.

Has ANYBODY checked the Whitehouse and Capitol pipes for lead?
A lot, I'm hoping.

Honestly dumb as an empty box? Yes, that's honest.

Unfortunately he's not dumb, in the dictionary sense of the word.

He is stupid, though, in spades.

Good comments about Joe the poltergeist.

I wish you'd quit talking about Kennedy, Polosi, Byrd, etc. in such a disparaging manner.

He just gives more fodder for the late night talk show comedians.

Yeah, that reminds me of Clinton touring the globe, criticizing Bush and America on the war. How many times have you seen Bush since the election? He could rightly be crucifying the Circus Clown for all his blunders. But ever the statesman and gentleman, Bush stays silent.

Are you kidding? Biden as a next door neighbor? He's the classic know-it-all everybody hates. He's like Cliff on Cheers. Can you imagine finding yourself stuck next to this guy on a cross-country flight? Listening to all his self-serving idiotic baseless blather? It would be hari-kari time.

Who cares if Biden "disclosed" that in 2002 Dick Cheney installed a safe room at the Vice President's residence? I'm mean, didn't we all assume there was one there anyway?
