Lord Biden Opens Mouth and Inserts Foot
Since he's mine own fine Senator in the Senate (a.k.a. The House of Lords), I feel it's my perfect right to poke fun at this big-mouthed Lord.
The man never answers an email or responds to a phone call from fine citizens such as myself. He's entirely too busy running for President.
Like that's going to happen.
Some Biden sound bytes from a "Muth's Truths" email:
"I didn't even like Princeton," he said, to laughter from the gallery. "I mean, I really didn't like Princeton. I was an Irish Catholic kid who thought it had not changed like you concluded it had," referring to Alito's earlier statement that Princeton had changed its traditional ways before he enrolled.

"It's an honor to be here," he told the audience. "It would have been an even greater honor to have come here."Biden also said yesterday: "One of my real dilemmas is I have two kids who went to Ivy League schools. I'm not sure my Grandfather Finnegan will ever forgive me for allowing that to happen."
But in his speech at Princeton, he said, "I have three children who have mercifully all finally completed undergraduate and graduate school. And I tried to get all three of them to apply here."

One More Biden
Because one can never get enough Biden. To that end, Lord Biden is training his son, Beau, to fill his shoes. Indeed Delaware's Governor, Nanny Minner, tried to appoint Beau Biden-who did stay at a Holiday Inn Express near a court house once-the state's Attorney General. A generous and loud public uproar put an end to that.
Below, the WAPO's Richard Cohen, hardly a partisan Republicrat, states his summation of Biden and mouth...from a "Muth's Truths" email.
YODEL-AY-HEE-HOO!"The only thing standing between Joe Biden and the presidency is his mouth. It is a Himalayan barrier, a Sahara of a handicap."
- Columnist Richard Cohen of the Washington Post
You Mean They Had Lobbyists in 1770?
Jack Abramoff notwithstanding, I am surprised at such wisdom from so long ago. Frankly I'm not sure if that parenthetical "corrupt politician" thing is part of the original quote but it is just as applicable.
A democracy . . . can only exist until the voters (or corrupt politicians) discover they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury . . . with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy . . . ."
