From “America’s New Paper of Record”. Let it be said right up front: Joe Biden is a joke. He has always been a joke, an empty suit. For the life of me I never understood why Barack Obama chose him as his running mate back in 2008; he could have chosen a myriad of other Washington swamp pols with extensive foreign policy experience to bolster the gravitas of his presidential ambitions, but he chose Biden. Why? I’m tempted to say that Obama knew that his choice of Biden was because he knew the guy was a doofus and wouldn’t get in his way, in any way. Like window dressing, ya know?

At any rate I always say Joe Biden as the worst example of some car salesman emploring you to buy the under-treatment for only an extra $2K that he’ll throw in for free. And then when you balk, he’ll say, “C’mon man, how can I save you money if you don’t buy this car?” The guy’s a joke, always has been, and not only that, he’s a damned racist joke. How does anyone who’s not a racist come up with bullshit like this:

“What you all know, but most people don’t know. Unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things,” Biden said. “You go to Florida you find a very different attitude about immigration in certain places than you do when you’re in Arizona. So it’s a very different, a very diverse community.”

Can you imagine the uproar had President Trump uttered words like this? The fact is, Biden is a joke. He’s always been a joke. And now he’s a bad joke on the Democratic Party. Were I a Bernie Sanders supporter it would piss me off to no end to think that this clown, this empty suit, was allowed to take the Democratic nomination because the Washington power base saw its position imperiled by a Sanders candidacy. Biden was the so-called “safe” choice. And that “safe” choice is going to send the Democrats down to their worst defeat since Mike Dukakis. And they deserve it.
