Never mind all of this, though. The basic message, as divined by the Prophet Biden -- God love him, his mother might say -- was "fly and go to the mall." And that's nothing like the straight talk Biden would have given the American people.
If straw men were professional athletes in this country, Biden would be the trainer notorious for walking around with vials of steroids and a pocketful of hyperemic needles. He is never content to simply exaggerate. In his own mind, no moment in Joe Biden's life has been anything but larger than life.
"If I'm wrong I will be dead wrong and I won't be president," Biden declared as his speech came to a close. Oozing a confidence as slick and thick as hair gel as he dove into the crowd to press the flesh, it was clear Biden is not at all convinced he is dead wrong.
Watching the scene, however, I was suddenly overcome with my own premonition: I saw the defeat of Joe Biden ahead, coming in the belly of a New Hampshire voting booth!
