Say It Ain't So, Joe: More Bidenisms

This was one of my favorite headlines during the past week: Obama Chides Biden for Off-Message Interview. Evidently Joe took exception to one of the campaign ads against John McCain. You know a campaign is negative when one of your own objects to it. I'd have liked to have seen that. Young Barack chiding old Joe. What a picture!

Before that, there was that other remark when asked whether the wealthy would be paying more tax. Biden answered, "It's time to be patriotic . . . time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut." I'm sure the Hollywood elite, who love Obama so much, will love this tax plan.

It's no wonder there are rumors about Biden dropping off the Democratic ticket and getting replaced. Of course, these are just rumors - if you actually believe Obama. Then again, Obama is screwed if he bumps him from the ticket - makes him look indecisive. Besides, I like having Joe on the ticket - he's funny and he makes McCain look better. Makes Dan Quayle look competent.

Doesn't he kind of look like McLean Stevenson as Col. Henry Blake on M*A*S*H? Sorry McLean. Rest in peace, buddy.
