Oops, there goes Joe Biden under the bus….

Best to sing those title words to the music of “High Hopes” – as in “oops there goes another rubber tree plant…”

What can one say that hasn’t already been said about poor old Joe?

Not too bright.  Bit of a snatcher when it comes to other people’s speeches and thoughts.  Promoted way beyond his intellectual processes?   

Joe is pretty good at parroting the party line – most certainly absorbs the APKD propaganda quickly and can usually regurgitate at the right moment – although we have all witnessed his malapropisms when the timing/location/subject matter is not lined up properly by his handlers or he had a few too many stops along the campaign trail.

But why would this hack politician want the job of vice president?  Well it is a silly question.  We can think of a lot of reasons but none quite as applicable as the Peter Principle – most rise to the job that is beyond their capabilities.  And Joe is America’s poster boy for the lack of meritocracy in our politics.

Joe used to snitch other people’s speeches – their lines, their thoughts, their concepts and pass them off as original thoughts of his own.  But he got busted several times and he seems to have stopped that bad boy behavior.  So, just as things are going along quietly, his boss flips him the one job that even Joe may see as a big minefield.  Too bad Hillary already took the call in sick approach otherwise Joe could have feigned some form of passing illness.  Do you think the fearless Hillary (remember when she flew into that imaginary war zone, dodging bullets?) will help Joe on this issue?

You see what Joe has been asked to do is just a little thing like taking on the vast majority of law abiding Americans who intend to keep their weaponry regardless of how APKD propagandists describe such weaponry.  Brave Barry Obama decided it was time to clean up the “violence” problem in white America (clever on his part – mask the real violence problem in America is his own back yard – literally his African American neighbors who kill each other at 6 times the pace of white America) and he has assigned Joe the task of accomplishing this job by taking away “assault” weapons from white America – by the way APKD has told Barry to call these guns – weapons of war.  Bully it up a bit – makes you think of drones and missiles and RPG's and anti tank weapons and so on –  why not – usually works with ABC, NBC, PBS and CBS.

Well, back to Joe.  Barry knows he has an issue to ride for a while.  But he is afraid of this issue so he flips the job to Joe and you know Joe is wondering – WTF?  What do I do now?  Can I go on vacation?  Can I get one of those easy concussions and take a month or so off?  WTF am I supposed to do with this job?  Cripes, this isn’t what I had in mind for the next four years.

Well, Joe here is what we would suggest.  Google it and see if someone else has been put in this spot by their boss and see what they said/did.  Then copy it.  Worked in the past.  May just work again.  But remember Joe, your job is to carry Barry's water or whatever other slop he puts in that bucket.  Your old buddy Chuck Hagel may be having similar thoughts today (clever Barry decided to name this “republican” to cut defense spending – let’s see how that one works out.)  In the meantime, good luck, Joe – watch out for the wheels on that bus.
