Joe Biden is a well spoken man, until he opens his mouth.

Warrior| 2.18.10 @ 10:04AM

I asked a staunch liberal about W's prounouncing the word "nucular" and of course they respond with he's an idiot. Then asked about some of Biden's flubs and they responded with how sincere Joe is and he has the best interests of the nation at heart. The derangement of the left breathtaking. If they weren't so dangerous, I would almost feel sympathetic for this level of stupidity.

pete| 2.18.10 @ 1:25PM

calling Joe a drunken irishman is an insult to drunken irishmen everywhere

Helen Donnelly| 2.18.10 @ 2:49PM

Pete,
Couldn't agree more!!

jd| 2.18.10 @ 3:07PM

Worse yet is calling Biden a devout Catholic because he had ashes on his forehead. THAT is an insult to all devout Catholics.

Joanne Grencius| 2.21.10 @ 7:50PM

I, too, found the ashes on V.P. Beiden's forehead out of place. The Vice President must be able to couple a mental image of Jesus Christ with a video of an abortion in progress. Think about it, my friends!

Bruce| 2.18.10 @ 3:00PM

Perhaps Ken (Texican) can expand on this, but every Texan I know pronounces the word "nuclear" as "nucular." Our older readers will recall LBJ pronounced it the same way - yet you never hears and snickers from the left about that.

For the left to put up Biden as some sort of intellectual, when he cheated his way through college and plagiarizes speeches, shows those cretins for what they are.

Occam's razor| 2.18.10 @ 4:00PM

Credentials on Texan pronounciation: B.S. Biology, Texas Christian University, 1984, MD degree University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, 1988.

No they don't all pronounce it "nukular."

And regardless, Biden is still a Yankee idiot.

Jim Hlavac| 2.18.10 @ 6:43PM

Sorry, but Delaware is South of the Mason-Dixon line -- he's a Southern Idiot. We Yankees refuse to accept him. Then again, if both North & South refuse to accept him, he's perhaps the national idiot, and if, as Hillary says, it takes a village, then so I suppose he's the village idiot.
Still, regardless of geography, he's an idiot. Perhaps he's from the 7 or 8 states that Obama is still seeking to visit. Which means he's an imaginary state idiot. Which is hard to do, for which idiocy he gets credit, no?

Bruce| 2.19.10 @ 12:19PM

Note I said "every Texan I KNOW..." I didn't say ALL, for the simple reason I don't know ALL Texans. That strikes me as being an impossible task.

Tom in Michigan| 2.19.10 @ 1:27PM

Bruce, Let's not forget the Left passing John Kerry (2.5 undergrad GPA at Yale - four D's in his Freshman year - there's no hope for the GPA after that) as an "intellectual" as well as his "I can't believe I'm losing to the idiot" comment. As for Katie Couric, she probably didn't show any surprise at Uncle Joe's stupidity because she herself didn't know any better. After all, as well all recall from the Palin interviews; she's a legal scholar, not a historian. Ahem.

Charles Martel| 2.19.10 @ 12:16AM

Much to my surprise, shock even, Jack Bauer says "nucular". I thought I'd heard wrong the first time until he did so again, both in the episode of "24" which aired Monday, February 8. And without a hint of irony.

Alan Brooks| 2.18.10 @ 3:55PM

Cheney predicted today Obama will not be re-elected.
---------
in '83 Libs told me Reagan would not be re-elected;
in '95 Cons told me Clinton would not be re-elected.

Toffler & Newt aren't alone in the false prophet business.

Robbins Mitchell| 2.18.10 @ 6:30AM

Or as Churchill himself might have said...."Mr Biden is a modest man...with much to be modest about."

Wasn't that Lincoln?

Robbins Mitchell| 2.18.10 @ 4:34PM

No..it was Churchill...who was referring to Clement Attlee at the time

Alan Brooks| 2.18.10 @ 5:28PM

Lincoln used the same exact phrase in 1863 or '64 in reference to a GOP politico (no, I cannot furnish a link at this time).

Quite a coincidence.

Charles Martel| 2.19.10 @ 12:26AM

It sure would be, if Lincoln had said it, but since he didn't, it isn't. Too bad, really, because it would have been.

Alan Brooks| 2.18.10 @ 4:46PM

I didn't vote for Obama in '08, but I'm voting for Obama UNLESS the clownish GOP nominates a Reagan in '12, and they wont.
The GOP is compromised, so here is one valid prediction: UNLESS you (and it is up to you, YOU are the 'aristocracy') start a 3rd party, a conservative, truly conservative, party, you are merely collecting donations, putting red white and blue bunting on podiums and wasting YOUR time, not someone else's. You don't realize the game is over; in that context YOU people are the last to know.
OFF YOU GO,
or go ye must, you stood too long, you have been out lost in the Bush too long, and now even the dumb-fertilizer masses know-- or sense-- you have been clueless since the Soviet Union dissolved in '91.
Poop or get off the pot, you fool only yourselves from now on; all the bunting in warehouses; all the donations figured out by tax advisors wont cut it anymore.
The GOP has been Bush leagued, and even a black RNC chair wont cover your collective rear ends anymore.
Remember, this is YOUR responsibility, wealthy people own this country, and well it should be as if it wasn't them it would be worse-- it would be the maddening mob. But if you own something then it is your responsibility, the bottom of society cannot be held culpable.

Obama has given you a new lease on life, don't blow it as you did in '92, '96, and '08. Even a cat only has nine lives.

danfromatlanta| 2.19.10 @ 12:29PM

Mr. Brooks, you are incoherent. Try injecting some intelligence in your posts, rather than stringing a series of cliches and gobbiltygook in some kind of unintelligible screed.

Occamstool| 9.9.10 @ 12:07PM

The only circumstance where I could see voting for Obama in 2012 is one in which Ron Paul was the Republican candidate, since his view on foreign policy are to the LEFT of Obama.

Brian Mc| 2.18.10 @ 6:47AM

This liberal slope into ruin is the epitome of what occurs when indoctrinated idiots from our public school system are given the 'right' to vote. Is there a possibility that this is only a precursor? My only solace comes in the foreknowledge that none of those whom I refer to will ever read this and be able to respond succinctly without epithets.

Marc Jeric| 2.18.10 @ 4:45PM

How very right! Teacher unions have by now produced 3 generations of illiterate nincompoops full of self-esteem. As for Biden - he is a functional moron steeped in lies.
Now the "nukular". The first to say it was that incredible cretin Carter who killed nuclear electricity 30+ years ago- he named to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission a legal counsel of Sierra Club and a consumer protection advocate from Massachussetts. Carter called himself "a nukular engineer" because in the Navy he was charged with scheduling personnel turnover of our nuclear submarines.

Here is Biden's role: A distractor--a real joker. and the he is a buffer for Obama. But--here is the problem, a slight one--Obama is the president--no Harry Truman he--but for the rest of us, the "buck stops with BHO" an Biden cannot stop that notion.
In fact Biden actually exaserbates the irritation because after a while one feels "enough of this tom foolery".

Galen| 2.18.10 @ 7:21AM

Biden (whose Father worked as a car salesman) still claims his father wa a coal miner. Al Gore still claims he plowed the fields and grew Tobacco. To understand our leaders read

Think of Biden as the court jester. The king spills soup on his lap-- send in the jester to distract from his embarassment. The king stumbles and falls in a stupor -- send in the jester to divert attention. All Joe needs is one of those funky medieval jester caps with bells.

Enjoy the show.

Ret. Marine| 2.18.10 @ 7:31AM

Having observed this clown going on far too many years now, I don't know if I am suppose to be scared or terrified of his mere presence in the position he now occupies.
Gaff ridden, no, more like a fool in a fools skin unaware of the damage he is doing to the office of the V-P. I should have some resemblence of respect for the office, but really hard to do when one realizes if ( God forbid and I only say this because I wish to see this pretender living out a full life with the knowledge that he'll be responsible for the destruction of this great Nation, or the third prez in our history to be impeached) he is second in the chain if any thing should ever happen to the number one fool, odimlight.
No one messes with ol'e Joe, yeah right no one is messing with him, they are just laughing at him and this Country for having such an obvious liar as a Vice-President. Which is worse?
Years ago, my grandmother taught me not to laugh at the handi-caped, the retarded, the gullable and fools. While I do try to adhere to this thought, I can't help but to feel beside byself when the gaff-mister open his mouth. If his position was not serious enough if would be worth the effort at laughing. But, unfortunatly, for this Country, our seurity, our prosperity, our hopes and dreams for our children and grandchildren, the gaff-mister is a serious mistake and the joke is on the American's themselves when one realizes he's in the second-in-command position and should be taken more seriously than he ever has been.
Cheney, not by far the brightest, but far more than biden, has many, many years of leadership behind him in both the private and public sectores and has done a no-so-bad job of it at that is far more creditabe than ol'e joe. What we witnessed this past weekend with ol'e joe was a-typical of a person with some serious unhingements of the thought process. To think that We as a concerned People's of these United States give ol'e joe a second look in matters of National security and foreign policy matters is a joke of the first order. Nonetheless, we are faced with a dumb and dumber chioce. Larry, Moe and Curly offered more than nutty entertainment, they gave us a real look into the minds of creativety, ol'e joe has proven time and again he's not up to the task, this should frighten more than a few of us.

Jim O'Brien| 2.18.10 @ 7:45AM

"Obama's Clown"? It's more like assistant clown to the head clown. Both incompetent fools.

Bozo T. Clown| 2.18.10 @ 10:06AM

Dear Mr. O'Brien and Mr. Tyrrell,

We here at the International Clown Union (I. C. U.) are insulted that Mr. Tyrrell and yourself would compare us to our Vice President. We are funny and bring joy and happiness to children while being eco-friendly by carpooling 37 to a car. Some of us save rodeo riders by throwing ourselves in front of charging bulls, so we are life savers, too. I doubt Mr. Biden has ever done any of those things.

I think you would be better off comparing him to a buffoon rather than a clown. However, I would first check with the International Buffoons Union (I.B.U.), a sister union to the National Federation of Teachers - they make Tony Soprano look like Mary Poppins! I believe Mr. Biden fits them much better. We await your apologies.

Sincerely,
Bozo T. Clown

P.S. BAZZZOOOOOOOOOGA!

Melvin| 2.18.10 @ 8:02AM

Calling Vice President Joe Biden a, "Clown" in my opinion is giving him way to much credit.
A term more befitting of Mr. Biden's stature and title is more akin to, White House, "Court Jester."
As the White House Court Jester, Mr. Biden amuses the President and his adolescent court through his sophomoric antics and pithy comments to the national propagandists who also go by the name of, "The Press."
There was a time that we used to call persons who exhibited this type of behavior, "Fools" but who is the fool? The fool that is governing this Country or the fool that amuses him.

Hurbert Hawkins| 2.18.10 @ 10:41AM

Dear Melvin

We here at the United Jesters Union (U.J.U.) are insulted that you would compare us to our Vice President. We are funny and bring joy and happiness to Kings and Queens while making a fool of ourselves with our outrageous antics. We are the ones who give the King bad news using exaggerated claims and gestures while wearing funny hats. Has Mr. Biden done any of these things? We here at the U.J.U. are. . . um . . . uh . . . wait a minute. Never mind.

Hurbert Hawkins| 2.18.10 @ 10:51AM

Dear Melvin,

We here at the United Jesters Union (U.J.U.) would like to thank you for bringing to our attention the factt hat the Vice President of the United States, a Mr. Joseph Biden, is practicing the art of Court Jester without holding any union card or affiliation. We will be picketing the White House until this matter is cleared up and Mr. Biden has his U.J.U. credentials.

Thank you for being so vigilant. It is through efforts of people such as yourself that we can bring proper Jester Arts to the masses while assuring livable wages and working condition for the common jesters.

Sincerely,
Hurbert Hawkins

Melvin| 2.18.10 @ 11:21AM

Thank you Hurbet. Let it be known for now and forever, that despite the current administration's attempts to choke off a open and accountable government that I somehow infiltrated and discovered this egregious oversight on Joe's part.
All U.J. U. members should immediately contact the Justice Department and demand a grand jury investigation in Joe's theft of intellectual property rights, and his blatant disregard for U.J.U. Union bylaws.
But be prepared for the Attorney General of the United States to fight a extremely pitched battle with the A.J.U. because from a government source who spoke on the condition of anonymity that the Attorney General is indeed..." a closet Jester."
If this fact is true, then this goes much, much deeper than anyone could have imagined and could very well be a extreme threat to National Security and Big Janet should be notified immediately.

Hurbert Hawkins| 2.18.10 @ 2:36PM

Dear Melvin,

We here at the United Jesters Union (U.J.U.) are astonished at your findings! We had no idea this tomfoolery of not having U.J.U. credentials for practicing tomfoolery reached such high government officials, but you are correct! We are therefore demanding immediate congressional investigations of all high ranking White House officials and cabinet offices for all non-union, U.J.U. federally-covered activities. It seems the DoJ may be infected with idiocy and extreme stupidity, witch are U.J.U. activities indeed! Thank you for your continued vigilance on this matter.

Sincerely,

Hurbert Hawkins

Howard| 2.18.10 @ 8:16AM

No only is Biden prone to gaffes; more importantly, he has constantly argued positions that are unwise and dangerous. He called for dividing Iraq into thirds. He has also argued against the new Afgan policy' which is showing signs of success. My fear is that one day he will say something that will endanger people. Such as giving out details of a plot before the FBI could handle it. He's a crazy Uncle.

Bruce| 2.18.10 @ 3:07PM

Endanger people ... more so than the Zero himself, Howard?

Zero is many things (mostly bad, I'll grant you), but stupid isn't one of them. He knows no harm would ever come to him with a fallback like Biden and/or Pelosi waiting in the wings. It just surprises me that Pelosi herself hasn't taken out a contract on Zero and Biden.

shaggydave| 2.19.10 @ 9:24PM

Endanger people? When the swine flu kerfuffle was getting into full swing Joe Biden was telling people to avoid buses and subways! Not much harm came of it but that is the sort of thing that could cause a panic.

FTM| 2.18.10 @ 8:16AM

Consider this in terms of political strategy:

President Obama's poll numbers are as dismal as any president in history. Countermeasure, send out a known buffoon to take some heat and some attention off of yourself. Looks good at first glance perhaps and it might just work. The downside however is that who selected the buffoon to be the second in command? The guy that's a heart beat away from being the president.

President Obama may successfully deflect some unpopularity away from himself if he sends Vice President Biden out on a short enough leash. More like a choker collar. If this plan backfires President Obama may be worse off than when he started.

Seems to me that the next couple of days may be interesting.

Plugs Biden attempting to take on V.P. Cheney is like Custer taking on the Sioux. Since Plugs already has one of those fake arrows on his head, perhaps Mr. Cheney will bring along his famous shot gun. Hopefully Mr. Cheney's aim will be the same, but this time sir, please no bird shot.
BTW, Sister Sarah did a fair job on Plugs during their one debate. I wonder if Plugs told Sarah to work on her pecs? Naw, that would have been Clinton.

Mike| 2.19.10 @ 6:06PM

Actually Biden took Cheney apart. That's not hard to do since almost every word of Dick's mouth is a lie.

Before you flame, I will say that I voted for him and W. in 2000. That was long before I knew that they would lie us into a pointless war of choice and trample the constitution.

Cheney is not entitled to his own facts.

This doesn't make Biden any less of a buffoon however.

Frosty| 2.18.10 @ 9:36AM

Mr. Tyrell left out one of Joe's greatest moments. When Joe Robinette Biden was questioned about his academic record, Joe claimed he finished in the "top 1/3 " of his law school class and attended law school on a full scholarship, implying an academic one. When it was discovered that he actually finished 76th out of 85 graduates and was on a partial scholarship given due to financial need, he apologized, saying that he tends to exaggerate when he gets angry......a fine quality in a politician and V.P., I might add.

A perusal of his career is almost comical. Graduated 506th out of 688 in his college class. He attended law school in the late 60's, getting 5 Vietnam draft deferrements alon the way. He graduated in 1968, miraculously receiving listed in April of that year as being permanently ineligible for the draft due to "childhood asthma", although he managed to play high school football and other sports. Elected to the New Castle County Council in 1970 at age 28, and then to the US Senate at age 29, it left him about a year of his life to work in the private sector.

So Joe has spent essentially his entire adult life as a politician with just about zero time fending for himself off the government payroll. Why do we let men like this anywhere near the office of the President?

Anthony| 2.18.10 @ 10:03AM

In other words, when Plugs is challenged and his mediocrity is exposed, this fool gets his "Irish" up and becomes hot headed, defensive and angry.

WhiteBikerTrash| 2.18.10 @ 9:48AM

Louis Jenkins| 2.18.10 @ 10:16AM

So which is the straight man in this comedy act? Biden or the Pretender?

All politicians have faults. Even Bush # 1 screwed up the date of Pearl Harbor when speaking to a veteran's group. However, never before have we seen the statist media look the other way so often over so many gaffs. I guess they've had a second pitcher of the koolaid. Normally, if it's a conservative presidency, they'd swarm the mis-statements like flies on a cow pie.

So the Capitol Hill duo can just keep turning out the shtck with audacity. It's going to be a long three years.

If I may defend ole' Joe for a moment: you guys don't seem to get it. BO and BI (Biden) ARE the most intellectual and smartest guys on the Left. The Left has given us its best in these two yokels. You can tell this is so, in reading many of the lunatic ideas from other Leftist representatives here on the "comments" at AmSpec. We could go on for hours listing the inane things said by Left posters in this comments section. Just yesterday, CopyLeft said that recent scientific developments in areas like communications, transportation, etc., did not follow Natural Law. Other liberal posters have said even more inane things in their postings. So, in defense of ole' Joe: he's one of the best the Left has to offer, so be gentle, please. As Ret. Marine reminds us above, we shouldn't laugh at the mentally challenged.

Ammo Guy| 2.18.10 @ 10:39AM

Though perhaps a bit OT, has anyone else noticed how much the press goes out of its way to emphasize that the lovely Mrs. Biden is in fact a "Doctor." Not a real medical doctor, of course, but one of those with a "Doctor of Education in educational leadership from the University of Delaware" degree. It seems like every time NBC shows the loving couple at the Winter Olympics, they make a point of saying "VP Joe Biden and Doctor Jill Biden" as if to marvel at her "academic accomplishments"...so to speak. Indeed, Wikipedia notes that "in White House announcements and by her preference, she is referred to as 'Dr. Jill Biden'". Reminds me of the lovely Barbara Boxer dressing down some poor Army General for not calling her Senator because she "worked so hard to earn" that title. It has been my lifelong experience that the more an individual insists on being addressed by some title, the more insecure and less confident of their intellect they actually are. Witness the anecdote of Amy Bishop screaming at some poor woman in an IHOP - "I am Dr. Amy Bishop!" - the same kind of haughty, preening crap I would expect from an intellectual poseur. Does anyone know of Walter Williams or Thomas Sowell insisting that callers address either of these worthies as "Doctor", though both certainly qualify? I thought not.

Ken (Old Texican)| 2.18.10 @ 11:23AM

Hello Retired Marine.
I always look forward to your posts. I do want to discuss a statement You made above::

""Cheney, not by far the brightest, but far more than biden, has many, many years of leadership behind him in both the private and public sectores and has done a no-so-bad job of it at that is far more creditabe than ol'e joe.""

Marine, while CEO of a "projects mobilization multi-national company" based here in Houston, we sub-contracted remote area project start-ups for most of the Large engineering/construction contractors in the US.
Among them of course, was Brown&Root; and Bechtel.
I will just say it: Negotiating and launching projects with Dick Cheny was always a pleasure. (He "consulted" with Brown & Root in his modest words..."when I'm in between gubmint jobs".)

He is without a doubt the smartest man I have ever sat across a table from.

Not only that, his word is gold bullion in the bank.

I could tell you some stories that would have you ROFL, but the man has a gift of gathering multiple problems in his head, throwing out the non-essentials, and then presenting his thoughts for the solutions...verbally...on the spot. Heh, Man! and you hoped you had a tape recorder.

For what it's worth, George Shultz, CEO Bechtel felt the exact same way about him.
I simply cannot imagine a finer man to help W as VP and confidant.
I thought you might enjoy a personal glimpse of the man.
Best regards, Marine

Ken (Old Texican)| 2.18.10 @ 12:04PM

Mr. Tyrrell,

Actually, Lib Reader, it's you liberals who want to prosecute and destroy our brave CIA officers--well, you did until the American people let Obama and Holder know that their political careers would be dead in the water if they tried.

Valerie Plane was a joke--like you.

Drew| 2.18.10 @ 12:21PM

Another piece of nonsense from a proud graduate of the Julius Streicher School of Journalism.

Rather than actually deal with the substance of VP Biden's interviews this past weekend (refuting Dick Cheney's risible, and dangerous, nonsense about the handling of terror suspects) - instead, resort to a meaningless smear.

I guess the proud defenders of Liberty at the American Spectator prefer a self-confessed war criminal like Cheney as their VP. OK. (I note that even GW Bush finally had enough of Cheney's nonsense, when he - rightly - refused to pardon Scooter Libby.) I guess revealing the identity of CIA officers is somehow, at least in Cheney's bizarro worldview, the right thing to do. Having trained FBI interrogators interview terrorism suspects is "soft of terrorism."

Oh, I might also point out to Mr Tyrell that the word "gaffable" is one that he actually seems to have invented, since I can find no evidence of it ever being used, in any context, by any other published writer. For the doubters out there - do a Google search. The only hits you'll get are similar screeds from the oh-so-creative Mr Tyrell. Keep up the fine work! But in the meantime, what - exactly - is this word supposed to mean?

Drew,
Thank you SO MUCH for providing confirmation of the truth of my above posting! (I knew it wouldn't take very long.......) BO and BI really ARE the best and the brightest that the Left has to offer................

Ken (Old Texican)| 2.18.10 @ 1:01PM

Thank you for that Drew. You once again gave us a window into your thinking.

"gaffable" def: a large marine creature close enough to one's boat to be gaffed. (gaff: a hook with a pointed tip used to stick in said creature's wide open mouth to harvest said creature.

Ammo Guy| 2.18.10 @ 1:03PM

Young man, if you can't comprehend the point and purpose of my good friend Bob Tyrrell's weekly "Current Crisis" column, then you have no business posting here - you are outa your league. Like his monthly "Continuing Crisis" musings in print, he means to tweak swells like you into posting pseudo-intellectual meanderings as you have above. Nonetheless, I shall chide RET privately about his choice of targets this week...VPOTUS is too easy a mark for a writer of Bob's caliber and reputation.

Oh, I might also point out that you misspelled our esteemed host's last name, but that would be rude and pedantic...so I won't.

Anthony| 2.18.10 @ 1:25PM

Hey Drew, Substance and Biden are mutually exclusive concepts. In fact, using the word substance in the same sentence with Biden is an oxymoron. Take off the prefix and that also describes you.
V.P. Cheney has made mincemeat of Plugs and Obama. He has both of them chasing their tails as they run in circles attempting to justify how they are now scrambling to impliment the policies of the Bush/Cheney WOT, while they continue their rant that the policies were a failure. Huh!!!!
By the way, speaking of Plugs Biden, Roosevelt's first V.P was a man named "Cactus" Jack Garner. Garner's famous quote was " The Vice-presidency is not worth a bucket of warm spit." Biden has finally achieved his rightful place in history.

Mr. Tyrrell,
You lost me at paragraph 1. "The American people are a sensible lot." Really? That being the case, then they would be sensible enough not to put these clowns into power in the first place.

Drew| 2.18.10 @ 1:06PM

English is a dynamic, living language. We constantly add new words to our lexicon: "defriend" and "sexting" managed to enter the language in the past year or so. And our great academic institutions and dictionary publishers are cognizant of this.

But there are criteria for a word to become part of the accepted lexicon. Not the least of which is acceptance and use by a significant - and broad - portion of the public.

"Gaffable" - at least as Mr Tyrell appears to use it, is a curious case. On one hand, you could make the argument that it is an attempted portmanteau of the words "gaffe" (in the sense of an impolitic error in speech) and "affable" - meaning "pleasant and easy to talk to." If taken in THAT light, then perhaps VP Biden would not, necessarily, feel insulted by the term. He, like just about anyone who's spent more than ten minutes in public life, has been known to say things that, on later reflection, appear foolish. But without a doubt, one of VP Biden's greatest strengths is his affability. Being perceived as being "affable" would - for most politicians be considered a benefit. I think voters would far prefer a "nice guy - easy to talk to" - than a cold, robotic individual who never said the wrong thing.

The words "gaffe" and "gaff" are, of course very different. (Note: I once had to explain to a very senior military officer the difference between the words "cache" and "cachet" - and that Army spokepeople ought to be aware of this before going on TV to announce the seizure of hidden weapons and explosives.)

The word "gaffe" I have already discussed. But the word "gaff" has a very different meaning. Its primary use nowadays is to refer to metal hook or spear used in handling fish. If Mr Tyrell is using it to suggest the Biden is someone who could be impaled on a fishing gaff then its certainly true - but then its also true for just about every other living creature on the planet. Not, perhaps, the most trenchant of uses. Gaff is also used in relation to an electrician working in the movie or stage business. You may be familiar with the term "gaffers tape" - meaning special adhesive tape used to secure lights and cables during a performance. There is also the the British term "gaffer" - meaning boss or supervisor. Again, this is a meaning that could, conceivably, be extended to VP Biden - but not, perhaps in the derogatory sense that I suspect Mr Tyrell intends.

"Gaffable" - at least as suggested by Mr Tyrells use of it - fails the basic test for acceptance as a word in the English language. He appears to be the only published writer using it. Maybe that marks hims as a creative free thinker. Then again, maybe that marks him as a nutcase.

Anthony| 2.18.10 @ 1:44PM

Drew, You're one fixated lad. Drop your boorish subject already will ya?
A gaffe is what your parents committed one thoughtless moment back in time.

Drew| 2.18.10 @ 1:55PM

Fixated? Thats an interesting observation.

Because I'd argue that Mr Tyrell seems oddly fixated on VP Biden's occasional verbal gaffes - rather than doing the job of discussing, in an intelligent manner, the merits of what the Obama administration has actually done/b> in regards to terrorism, the economy, etc.

Mr. Tyrell makes the case that we should ignore anything Biden says because he has committed verbal gaffes. But in so doing, he uses - incorrectly, in my estimatation - a word that he appears to have invented for the purpose.

I'd be more than happy to debate the merits of the Obama administration's handling or terror suspects versus Dick Cheney's sadistic fantasy world. But Tyrell seems to be the one "fixated" on irrelevancies.

Bruce| 2.18.10 @ 3:23PM

"estimatation"
Is that another new word in the lexicon, junior?

Bruce| 2.18.10 @ 3:26PM

Oh and by the way ... when you try to use HTML statements - it is necessary to CLOSE a statement properly

Don't let it happen again - it makes it look like you are shouting - and surely an "intellectual" such as you claim to be would not stoop to that level, would you?

Dai Alanye| 2.18.10 @ 4:24PM

Drew: "But in so doing, he uses - incorrectly, in my estimatation - a word that he appears to have invented for the purpose."

What an illogical nitwit! How can one 'incorrectly' use something invented for a specific purpose? In any case, gaffe+affable=gaffable gives a perfectly succinct description of Biden.

Bob| 2.18.10 @ 2:21PM

If you think Biden is so inept, what about Palin who lost the debate with Biden by a huge margin. She is obviously more inept. Then, you have McCain who graduated 5th from the bottom of his class at Annapolis and bragged about it. Then, of course, you have "W" as the most inept President in history.

The fact of the matter is that no one, either Democrat or Republican, who seems to win office has any competence. And if they do run into a rough patch like Palin, they quit.

There is no question that both Biden and Palin are mental midgets. Obama simply lacks experience and executive ability. It doesn't matter which party wins, the country ain't gettin' better anytime soon.

Bush graduated college from Yale then went on to attain an MBA from Harvard. He's made millions through investments and businesses. He was elected and then re-elected President. Is this the description of an inept person? I think not.

DNorman| 2.18.10 @ 3:40PM

Mr Tyrrell,
Although I'm sure your rant about Biden's verbal gaffes is great, you lost me when you wrote that Obama is the "most inexperienced and most far-left president" evah! 1) debatable, 2) not even close. How can I believe anything you say after that? I'm losing all faith in conservatives.

Bob| 2.18.10 @ 4:02PM

Tyrell used to be much more insightful. But lately he's become much more of a conservative clown overstating to the point of banality. While Obama certainly leans left, his stance in Afghanistan and his continued call for increased nuclear power don't put him as far left as a number of other Presidents. I just wish Obama knew more about being an executive -- he doesn't even have an experienced executive in his senior appointments.

LiveFreeOrDie| 2.18.10 @ 11:43PM

"...continued call for increased nuclear power..."

Continued call? Can you provide a link to anything he said about being in favor of nuclear energy not dated recently?

"...put him as far left as a number of other Presidents."

Name three.

Tom in Michigan| 2.19.10 @ 3:44PM

Sorry to pull an old cliché' on you Bob but, as they say you can have your own opinion but, you can't have your own facts. Referring to "a continued call for... nuclear power" by Obama is beyond the pale. The Left (and that includes Obama) has done an excellent job of forcing the nation that first developed nuclear power to fall 33 years behind in nuclear power plant creation. Furthermore, closing Yucca Mtn. gives him a convenient fall back excuse to delay any developments that might be on the table for many years. At best, a new facility will take ~ 7 years - long after he's started his show on MSNBC. This is yet another, transparent and cynical political ploy by this worst of Presidents (and, that says a LOT-I lived through LBJ, Carter and Clinton - who I assume are the other Leftist POTUSs to whom you refer). Finally, do you and Alan Brooks get paid to write this stuff? If so, I know a lot of people looking for jobs here in the Peoples' Republic of Michigan (we've lost ~ 700,000 heading to a cool million, since we elected Governor Granholm [D. MI]). Although a lot of them are confirmed Democrats, I'd like to help them out if you can put me in touch with your bosses.

None Dare Call It Spam: My childhood friend's name was Ricky Cohen, and he did indeed train at Clown College (Barnum and Bailey's Circus), which had a RIGOROUS curriculum. Biden isn't fit to train there.

Please note the rigorous competition for Clown College )closed 1997), and the institution of higher learning it is compared to in the Wikipedia article:

Each yearly session was held in the fall. The number of students admitted to any year's session varied but it ranged from thirty to fifty, with the vast majority being men. The ratio of men to women in a Clown College class was roughly 8 to 1. It was also said that admission to the institution was more challenging than being accepted to Harvard Law School . (By way of example, in the 1974 session 48 students were selected from slightly over 5,000 applicants.).

Big Jim| 2.18.10 @ 4:22PM

Drew, "gaffable" is obviously a combination of gaffe & laughable. Your story about "cache" & "cachet" reminded me of one of my own. After a long day of mining hard coal, I had to explain to the POTUS the difference between "corp" & "corps". I think the C&C should be aware of the difference before going on TV and speaking about the military.

MikeBee| 2.19.10 @ 8:28PM

Big Jim,
Good post! What got the "O" messed up is his hatred both for Corporations and for the Military. Feeling these intense feelings at the moment, he got confused, and thought that soldiers were plural corporations (1=corp; >1=corps). Also, never having the experience of leading either (corporations or military) before, he made the simple mistake that many other third-graders make when first encountering that word. Hey! Maybe my 8-year-old could get a Harvard degree, too, and skip all the other educational crXp.

This article reminds me once again, how life under the current administration feels like nothing so much as living out "the adventures of Huckleberry Finn." Daily all of us "Jims" and "Hucks" are assailed by some new scheme from the "Duke", and the "Dauphin". Update it to the "Dunce" and the "Professor", as Joe Biden spouts fractured history like frontier Shakespeare, while the Professor-in-chief waxes eloquent on...everything. If Twain had written this book 5 years from NOW, it'd be hailed as a masterful satire of the Obama presidency. Probably win Twain a Nobel prize. probably for peace.

Back to this article: Joe Biden was picked to be vice president because he is precisely the look and sound of "statesmanship" that this administration wanted to wrap itself in, so that the rest of us would know how serious they were. That about sums it up.

jabberwocky| 2.19.10 @ 3:03AM

In Texas we would call a guy like Biden a toady. Without Texans who would the rest of the world have to feel superior to? My favorite - and I have forgotten his name - was a colorful slaughterer of the King's English - (Drew would be in an absolute frenzy of correcting with that one!) - in the Texas Legislature. Defending some nefarious deal he had been caught in, he blustered,"There is not a chinchilla of evidence that I took a bribe..."

Drew confides he "had" to explain to a very senior military....Had to or needed to, Drew?

Ed, I like your VMOTUS - sounds a bit like vomitous.

And thank you, Mr. Tyrrell, for the side shot of Biden's nape of his hairless neck. Why don't guys who opt for the plugs ever realize that forevermore they are going to have to endure a ragged comb-down from somewhere north of where they harvested the plugs? "Comb-down", Drew, is an invented word, much as comb-over was.

All together now - everyone who finds Drew's tutorials tedious, yell, "Screw off, Drew!" And then Drew can tell us you don't screw off, you un-screw what you have screwed on.

As for Dr. Jill Biden, it was once considered very poor form as well as pompous for Ph.D's to refer to themselves as Doctor. If they call themselves Doctor, should an M.A. call himself a Master and someone with a B.A. refer to himself as a Bachelor?

jabberwocky| 2.19.10 @ 3:13AM

Tom in Michigan| 2.19.10 @ 5:25PM

Everybody's seen the comic bit where the little wimp flails futilely at the big guy while the latter contemptuously holds wimpy back with a well-placed hand on the forehead, disdaining to strike back at the weakling as it's obviously beneath his dignity and, he’d probably kill the little guy if he did. Well, that's the image I get when I see Uncle Joe Biden attempting to trade mental blows with Cheney. It's just not a fair fight. I pray for President Obama's good health and safety not only because it's the right and proper thing to do (he IS the President and, although disagreement with the President is our duty where it is appropriate; we are also obligated by that same duty to preserve both the man and the office) but because, if anything were to happen to him, the order of succession is Biden then Pelosi. Frankly, while I don't have a very high opinion of the Vice President as a leader, I kind of find it hard to dislike him altogether and wish him well (Pelosi, an inherently evil person is a topic for another discussion but, basic decency also forbids wishing her harm). His son is serving honorably in the armed forces and, for that, at least we owe him thanks. The problem is however, we've obviously elected two men, one stunningly inexperienced and the other who, although highly experienced has failed to prosper from that experience by missing the point altogether, to the highest offices in the land. Each time we do this; it's another wound to the nation each of which, in succession leaves us progressively (seems a perfectly apropos term for this metaphor somehow) weakened.

jabberwocky| 2.20.10 @ 1:13AM

"His son is serving honorably in the armed forces..." If you mean Beau, he went for a very short deployment, and as a lawyer. He wasn't out there eating sand and packing 145# of gear and dodging car bombs. An article I read said it was to polish his resume for his run for his dad's senate seat. But then the political winds changed and he decided he would stay on in Delaware to see that some child molester whose trial is coming up, gets punished. Which, granted, would be a novelty in a liberal state. Maybe there is another son. If so, I pray for his safety, too. But Beau's home safe in Delaware.

When Joe Biden was running for president back in his major plagiarizing days, a lot was being said about hoping that his brother's "problems in Callifornia" didn't come up.This was mentioned several times in the book, "What It Takes". Does anyone know what Joe's brother's problem was - other than having Joe for a brother?

There is more than a whiff of the dishonorable about a lot of Biden's history.

But why should I be bringing up Joe's brother,when we had Jimmy Carter's brother, Billy and Bill Clinton's brother, the cocaine convict, Roger. Did Bill Clinton give a presidential pardon to brother Roger or just let him live with that blot on his reputation?

We tolerate a lot from our president's families. At least, Obama has left his "auntie" in the Boston projects to fight depotration on her own. As far as we know.

bsdn| 2.20.10 @ 3:13AM

Former judge Napolitano nailed the military tribunal thing. You can't have one, if you haven't declared war. We haven't. Congress spinelessly deferred to the prez to do what he wanted and even if Congress declared war, if would have to be against a country, not a tactic.
Besides what do you call the firebombing of the civilian populations in Dresden and Tokyo, besides terrorism?
Yeah, I know that's not a popular view on the right, but the neo-cons are wrong. And it's about time they admitted it, including Cheney.
Thank you.

Smitty| 2.20.10 @ 5:04AM

Okay, we haven't declared war--then why is Obama ordering repeated vicious Predator Drone strikes against innocent civilians in Afghanistan and Pakistan? Hmmm?

Because he's a terrorist? I know this isn't a popular view among you Marxists, but it's about time you admitted it. You've got blood on your hands, self-righteous libtard.

Richard Baker| 2.20.10 @ 12:47PM

Smitty:
Not defending the Kenyan at all but when your enemy hides inside homes, mosques, and hospitals, Predators are being used to finish them off. Sorry that civilians get killed but such is war and particularly one against a bunch of turbaned cowards. Would you rather thousands more Americans die so you won't feel bad? Grow up, if you can. Far as I'm concerned, we're not killing these terrorists fast enough.

Smitty| 2.20.10 @ 4:38PM

RB, it would have been nice if you'd actually read my post--it was in response to bsdn @3:13AM.

I'm tired of hypocritical leftists bashing Bush/Cheney for their (successful) post 9/11 policies against terrorists so I turned it around by reminding him that Obama's continuing many of those same tactics, including predator drone strikes.

I guess reading comprehension is above your paygrade, Richard.

Richard Baker| 2.21.10 @ 10:05AM

Smitty:
Your use of the term "vicious Predator Drone strikes" is exactly what the lefties call them. Maybe your use of the English language needs some fine tuning. Words do have meaning but of course you knew that, right?

Smitty| 2.21.10 @ 10:57PM

You're an odd duck, Baker. You argue just for argument's sake. No wonder you're divorced.

Yes, words have meaning, but so does 'context'; look it up, maybe you'll learn something.

The drone strikes are vicious and they do kill innocent women and children--do you deny this? Denial is deadly, it obfuscates truth.

I acknowledge that war is necessary sometimes--but it's still hellish. I feel bad about the innocent children who are dying in Afghanistan, don't you?

My point to liberals is that Obama is doing the same thing as Bush; I'm calling them out on their hypocrisy. Why you have a problem with my intent escapes me; I guess you have a problem seeing the forest for the trees.

I think your brain needs some fine tuning--dropped on the old melon one too many times?
