Joe Biden: The Peter Principle, 2007 Version

Well, well, well. The only advice I have for Joe Biden comes from that old poster we all had tacked to our walls a few decades ago. You know the one. It contained sarcastic instructions about what to do in case of a nuclear attack. Something along the lines of “Put your head between your legs and kiss your ass good-bye.”

Joe, Joe, Joe. It’s 2007 and the best you could come up with was to describe Obama as “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.” Gotta love that Joe. But, should I be surprised? I recently heard that the reason white people like Obama is because he doesn’t “act black . . . he acts like a middle class white kid with a tan.” Geez, Louise, how cool is that? We can elect a black guy who’s really a white guy!

Back to Biden. Next he takes on Clinton, calling her proposal to cap the number of American troops deployed and cut funding to Iraqi security forces “nothing but disaster.”

And, finally, he takes a shot at Edwards, who has proposed immediately removing 40,000-50,000 U.S. troops from Iraq. “I don't think John Edwards knows what the heck he is talking about.”

Like I said, Joe. Put your head between your legs.
