    Why on earth did Obama ever select this man as his VP? Doesn’t that alone testify to Obama’s inability to correctly decide in matters that affect us all? No wonder he’s having such a hard time getting nominees for Commerce who can pass real vetting.

    Michelle, this is a bit OT, but I was thinking of parodying Biden, wondering how to do it. You can’t just talk nonsense, it’s a particular type of nonsense. So, how about you, MM, return to Hot Air and parody Obama? Tie your hair back, you could do it. Walk up to the podium with the pimp-gangster walk, the cool, I don’t have a care in the world, my feelings are all that count, walk. Smile big as you point to a couple people in the crowd. Say “I, I, I, uh, uh, uh”. Spout meaningless platitudes, cleverly slipping in a couple of far-left policy ideas. Say “let me be clear”, “this is unacceptable”, “I oppose this in the strongest personal terms”. Don’t tell me you never thought of doing it! Yours would be a unique take. Please think about it!

    And, when one thinks of it, B. Hussein Obama does somewhat resemble Pat Paulsen:

    It is not at all unusual for someone of Biden’s age and occupation to have only vaguest notion of Internet terminology and practice.

    Remember, it doesn’t matter what you think he knows. Just by being second to The One, he is grander, smarter, more enlightened and more beautiful than the rest of us. Put together.

    Classic Joe Biden. Idiot.

    Any time I hear people get all misty-eyed about how worried they are about the possibility of Hope-a-Dope being assassinated, two things come to mind:

    1. Such an attitude is nothing more than a thinly-veiled slap at the American people; and

    2. It’ll never happen, because Joe Biden is next in line for the Big Chair. As such, he’s Hope-a-Dope’s “Life Insurance Policy” (Just as Nancy Pelosi is Biden’s).

    I mean, I never thought that in the days left to me I’d see anyone become President who could make Jimmy Carter look good by comparison; but Hope-a-Dope has managed it in 30 days.

    The only thing that makes me shudder even more than that is the chilling realization that Joe Biden would make Hope-a-Dope look positively Reaganesque.

    Mondale arguable the dumbest man of his time.

    Followed by algore, who was unquestionably the dumbest man in the senate when he was picked.

    Now we have Biden, clearly in a class of his own when considering his mental prowess. Read lack thereof.

    Considering these 3 numbskulls made it thru to the VP, it appears their next VP nominee will be made of the same stuff. Not the Right Stuff, just the same stuff.

    I submit that honor now falls to Mary Bono Mack.

    Anyone who has ever heard this mental giant speak can attest to her taking ol joe bidens place at the bottom of the mental barrel of dems in congress.

    I hope I am wrong but history must be considered. And it appears the dems have some sort of round peg in the round hole test for their VP nominees.

    Right…
    If you were trying to make a joke why not go for a higher number? Those numbers barely sneak into the bottom levels of genius rating. Mine was tested pretty high as a child too, but I make point of not mentioning the number now because it’s like referencing your sixth grade report card. You are exactly right that testing high as a child is much easier than as an adult.

    If you were trying to make a joke why not go for a higher number?

    Because that was my number. The joke was not in the number, but in the comment I was responding to. It was supposed to be a bit-self effacing, if anything.

    Sorry you did not find it funny.

    Self effacing with a little bragging added for good measure. Come on, tell me you don’t enjoy throwing those numbers around every now and then.

    The only person I openly discuss my childhood IQ with is my older sister who came in just below me. I enjoy that quite a bit, but as you yourself admit, those numbers mean nothing now.
