It Looks Like Joe “I’d rather be at home making love to my wife while my children are asleep,” Biden Will Be Obama’s VP Pick
From the archives is this quote from Joe:
“I’d rather be at home making love to my wife while my children are asleep,”
Speaking to a group of 130 twenty- and thirty-something supporters of his leadership PAC last Thursday, Biden indicated that while he thinks he could be an effective chief executive, as far as the job itself goes, he could take it or leave it.
“I’d rather be at home making love to my wife while my children are asleep,” he said.
With that kind of enthusiasm, who wouldn’t pick Joe!? It looks like Obama is ready to name Biden as the VP candidate on the Democratic ticket.
Comedy gold courtesy of Ben Smith to mark Halperin’s heavy-handed hint this morning that Greasy Joe’s the one for The One (re: Halperin’s “Bo knows” allusion, note that Biden’s son is named Beau). Between this, his assorted nuanced pensees on race, and his tweaking of Barry O for being less curious about NATO’s role in Afghanistan than a subcommittee chairman should be, the RNC will have loads of fun with him. What makes the ad interesting is that after the first 30 seconds or so, it eases into a strikingly Obama-esque message: Presidency as “pulpit,” the world’s “lost confidence in us,” the same swill they’ve been selling forever as a touchy-feely alternative to Republican hawks. But what’s that bit at the end that “If the sparks fly, so be it”? Doesn’t sound very Hopenchangey to me.
Within the last few hours I’ve spoken with two of the finalists for the role of Barack Obama’s running-mate, and to two other sources who are close to the process.
My bottom line is this: Barring a big surprise or last-minute change of heart, the choice is likely to be Sen. Joe Biden of Deleware, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee:
“If I had to bet my life on it, I’d bet it is Joe,” said one of the other contenders.
Said another, “Barack is moving toward a seasoned Beltway type, and that probably means Biden.”

This might be true, which means the Obama campaign has given me yet another reason not to vote for Barack.

LET’S GET REAL, OLD JOE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE A TON OF VIAGRA IN ORDER TO MAKE LOVE TO HIS WIFE. The brain dead picture suits Biden to a tee. Good choice for Obama, looks like this will work, meaning losers big time.

What is this big GAFFE made by Biden, BARRACK AMERICA?????
NO NO NO - IT’S NOT AND NEVER WILL BE - TOO MANY OF THOSE ED DRUGS CAN CAUSE BIDEN TO GET STIFF, LOCKED UP, THEN NOT KNOW WHICH BRAIN HE SHOULD USE? WITH HIS MIND IN THE GUTTER OR HUA SIDE EFFECT HE COULD GO BLIND! Biden is SENILE, DEAF, DUMB & BLIND alright! I bet Biden’s wife is glad he’s going to be busy for a while, I know looking at him, I sure would! With his mind-set maybe they should have checked into his comings and goings. Stinky may be like Silky we just don’t know it yet! Either way I’m sure there is plenty we don’t know about Biden, YET. We do know he is a huge hypocrite and lethal liar.
Hummmm. . . same as Obama!
Two rotten peas in a pod!
