You all remember, I’m sure, when Joe Biden was selected to be Barack Obama’s running mate, presumably because he added gravitas and experience to the ticket. In particular, he was reputed to be a foreign policy expert, despite having been wrong in both theory and outcome in almost every important suggestion or prediction he’s ever made.
Well, the genius struck again last night, asking (more than once) an audience how many of them knew someone who has served or was injured in “Iraq or Iran.”
Of course, Harry Reid immediately raised his hand…

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

I worked on Capitol Hill for 30 years.
I often heard of him referred to as the dumbest man in America.
He's trying hard to maintain that position.

Out here in Bankruptifornia, it has long been known that the stone-stupidest Senator ever is Babs Boxer, and the 2 thickest numbskull women in the House are Nan Pelosi and Lynn Woolsey.
We are planning on carving their images on the Hetch Hetchy dam just before we tear it down.

Guess he didn't see the woman behind with her hand up. Must be one of Ahmadinejad's deep cover agents...

Actually, the woman behind with her hand up is Rep. Shelley Berkley (D) of Nevada. Her claim to fame is being included in CREW’s Most Corrupt Report in 2011. She also made the Dishonorable Mention list this year.

I have treated them---Gulf War I and II. Iraq, that is. The man is a bit of an idiot, isn't he?

He is an expert---ask his opinion and do the opposite---you'll be right over 90 percent of the time.

No. Wait. Consider the question and consider the audience. Most of them probably do NOT know anyone who anyone "who served in Iraq or Iran".
