With the success of Sarah Palin’s Alaska, perhaps TLC should embark upon another series with a prominent American politician. They could call it Joe Biden’s World.
Vice-President Joe Biden’s assertion in an interview with Jim Lehrer that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is not a dictator has to rank amongst the daftest things that have crossed the threshold of his lips.
It certainly ranks up there with his assertion during the 2008 Vice-Presidential debates that the United States and France had “kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon.” That would certainly be news in the streets of Beirut.
Or how about when he told Katie Couric during the ‘08 campaign that FDR had gone on television to talk to the American people after the 1929 stock market crash despite the fact that Herbert Hoover was President and television didn’t exist? Ms. Couric didn’t even bat an eyelash.
And yet they call Sarah Palin stupid.

Crazy Joe has been carrying me for a long long time too.

Joe is the comic relief of the administration.
Ken in People's Republic of MD| 1.28.11 @ 4:59PM
I thought Barry was the comic relief.

Good idea for a show. Maybe they can film it in Katie's restaurant in Wilmington.

Just a simple reminder to all who say Sarah Palin is stupid.........what state were you governor of? What city were you Mayor of?
Occam's Tool| 1.28.11 @ 7:37PM
Dear Ken of Maryland: Barack lacks comic timing. Besides, the pathos of being overwhelmed by his crushing responsibilities gets to him.
Joe has no real responsibilities, so he gets to wear the shoes and nose.

Mr Biden told us that his forte was foreign policy. Actually, all of policy is foreign to him. Yes he is a chronic buffoon,a plagiarist, a duplicitous ninkumpoop, But he is something much worse as well; he is a mediocrity. Amazing what we have "working" for us at the highest levels. When one gets to Olympus, the occupants are far from Olympian.

"Actually, all of policy is foreign to him."
Funny.
Thom| 1.29.11 @ 3:17PM
Actually Biden is simply a chronic liar and because he is perceived as a buffoon he gets a pass that is certainly not appropriate for his position in government. Should Joe “dumbass” Biden every become President by happen stance beyond his control this Nation will be in immediate peril in world affairs. That’s not funny.
