Joe Biden Opens His Mouth, 2012 election edition. [Moe Lane]
Before you watch this clip (via Jim Geraghty), I want you to understand something: this is Joe Biden, Vice President of the United States of America. This is the guy hand-picked by then-Senator Barack Obama to be his wingman. This is the guy that was to have Obama's back; the person that Obama would trust with the keys; the man who the President could rely on, no matter what. And not just from the point of view of the Presidency: with this pick Barack Obama made it clear that, in his judgment, Joe Biden was the best, most reliable choice out there for the Democratic party.
Got that?
Good. Now watch:
Jim said, "Give this man a slot at the 2012 Republican convention!" To which I reply: Good God, no. Joe Biden might actually get confused and think that he's supposed to play it straight, and thus try to help us. And then we'd be DOOMed.
