This fellow has Biden’s number:
It takes years of yoga to learn the posture necessary for speaking clearly with all your feet in your mouth. But for some the skill comes naturally, which brings us to Joe Biden.
Those who saw Dick Cheney as an evil genius crouched silent in the shadows of the Oval Office like Nosferatu must enjoy Biden’s high profile: he’s out there daily with the sunny enthusiasm of Ronald McDonald opening another store.
And, quite often, telling everyone to have a Whopper.
It’s James Lilek in NY Post. Can’t remember when I’ve read anything that good in a Chicago newspaper, unless Kass and before him Royko. Any other suggestions? I might have missed someone.
Explaining one of the “gaffes,” he says:
What Biden meant to say, in his puckish way, that they misunderstood what an economy is, and how it works. Piling up a mountain of proposed taxes, mandates, regulations, do-nothing programs and pork unseen in such dimensions since Pink Floyd floated a dirigible pig over an outdoor concert might, in fact, prevent recovery.
Yes. They have the formula for that. In any case, go easy on Joe, by whom “truer words have never been babbled.”

Good take our babbling Joe..in fact so good, it’s tailor-fit for that other babbler from Alaska….only with her I have as much problem with her substance as her syntax…guess they’re right when they say democracies get the leaders they deserve.

Contrasting Dick and Joe, I guess I’ll always be more comfortable with an affable honest guy than a Nixonian smart guy….ask these witty critics how many times the candor of their foot got in the way of the cunning of their mouth….a little more un-scripted candor would surely be seismic shift for DC!
