Joe Biden Opens His Mouth, 2012 election edition. [Moe Lane]
— Guest Blogger

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.

8 I'm convinced that Joe Biden has an aide designated to carry his flask of bourbon, which he takes a nip from at 10-minute intervals. Also, his secret service code name is W.C. Fields.

I tried to listen to it from the point of view of a progressive.

Didn't like it. The country is going in the right direction. We NEED the new simulus passed...the wingnuts and fly-over freaks will be happy with their shitty hourly jobs, and we can continue building a utopia.

Joe should not be talking this way. We cannot have any appearence of failure. The end-game is all. We're building a new world - eggs get broken. We NEED another term, We NEED a permanent progressive majority!!!!

From a conservative point of view, he sounds honest. Surprising.

You know, part of me is so cynical that I'm starting to believe they picked Biden for VP because they thought having a gaffe-prone second in command would be great cover. Anytime you need to get the attention off Barack, just unleash ole Joe and pray he doesn't stumble over his dick too badly.

Methinks, however, they underestimated the extent of Joey B's colossal fuckwittery.

It's self-inflicted. Liberals spent 50 years making the education system dumb down its products so they'd need care and feeding from Uncle Sugar. Unfortunately for them, the same education system is also making liberals dumber.

56 Education is a right?

Well, technically, you have the right to educate yourself in any manner you see fit, much like the right to worship a Higher Power (and most libraries are free to the public). But you don't have the right to force someone else to spend their time and energy to do the teaching...

They haven't yet learned that "rights" and "opportunities" are not the same thing

Thanks for everything.

65 Wall Street could nip those protests in the bud with one phone call to the SCOAMF if they really wanted to

The Dems are planning to pin Wall Street to the GOP, leaving out the parts about the majority of campaign donations going into DNC accounts

If the market dropped 50 percent in a week, people would find out how tied they all are to the stock market directly and indirectly. Think Trumka would like to explain to his sheep that all their pension money is gone, and their union dues with it?

75 [redacted],

Occupy Wall Street is spreading like wildfire. There are now supportive groups for the protests in over 250 communities in the United States and Canada.

Almost wherever you live, there is an Occupy Wall Street group near you. Many of these groups have already started their own local protests, while the others are planning upcoming events.

Daily Kos is joining with SEIU, the Service Employees International Union, to help grow this new movement of the 99%. We need to let the 1% know that we will no longer be silent in the face of the economic pain they continue to inflict on everyone else.

Please, pledge to join an Occupy Wall Street group near you. After you sign, you will be redirected to a comprehensive list of local groups.

Solidarity is beautiful,
