You gotta love Joe Biden. The man is a quote machine. He continually talks about the "Recovery Summer" than asks a small businessman how the hell he got credit for his expansion plans.
One has to wonder if he is a total moron, or sabotaging Obama.

Biden is a type of individual that all political parties (Democratic, Republican, and others) have to endure. He is convinced of his own brilliance. He has been surrounded for too long by people who tell him how great he is. He has no idea that his ideas are nonsense.

Slate has been running a regular column of Bidenisms. It's a hoot. He speaks pretty WELL, just... kinda zany.
They've been doing Palinisms too, but those are mostly just word misuse and other simple errors. not as funny.
Biden
Cheney
Gore
Quayle
Bush the Elder
Mondale
er... not exactly a stellar line-up of America's finest. Although some are better than others certainly some are brighter than others.
Remember Dan Quayle? There's a man with a gift for words...
my favorite:
"What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is."
-- Vice President Dan Quayle winning friends while speaking to the United Negro College Fund, 5/9/89 (reported in Esquire, 8/92) (reported in the NY Times, 12/9/92)
Al "Lockbox" Gore. Until he lost (by some accounts) the 2000 election was the very picture of a cardboard cutout of a politician. Seriously I met him in person and have a picture where I'm standing next to... what looks like a cardboard cutout of Al Gore. He's TALL, btw. He's an articulate guy, but his (now ex) wife, Tipper and her PMRC didn't do him any favors in a lot of people's eyes. I'm sure it cost him a few votes in 2000. Anyone remember the PMRC hearings with Frank Zappa and Dee Snyder?
Mondale... man... what can you even say about Walter Mondale?
well, I couldn't really remember much about the guy so I went to wikipedia just to see what the peanut gallery has to say... turns out not much beyond what committees he served on and the utter trouncing he received at the hands of Cowboy Ron in the 84 election.
The less said about Richard "Dick" Chaney the better. Ey Carumba. This guy always strikes me as just plain paranoid and mean. Not a huge fan of safe firearms practices either apparently.
Not gonna say nothin' about Bush the Elder. He wasn't the worst or the best. I barely remember what he did as VP. But... he probably still has good friends in the COMPANY from when he was director, so...best not to go there anyway.
These are the only ones I really remember. I didn't really bother with politics much before age 10. :)

My first memory of Biden is from May of 1985 when he was the commencement speaker at my law school graduation. He was so full of himself that it was amusing. He incorrectly assumed that the class consisted mostly of liberal Democrats so he gave a strongly partisan speech.

Chairman: Senator Gorton.
Senator Gorton: Mr. Zappa, I, ah, am astounded at the courtesy and soft-voiced nature of the comments of my friend, the Senator from Tennessee. I can only say that I found your statement to be boorish, ah, incredibly and insensitively insulting to the people that were here previously; that you could manage to give the first amendment of the Constitution of the United States a bad name, if I felt that you had the slightest understanding of it, which I do not. You do not have the slightest understanding of the difference between Government action and private action, and you have certainly destroyed any case you might otherwise have had with this Senator. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
FZ: Is this private action?

is he? if you like war criminals and scofflaws I suppose he is
then again the bait and switch legislation he's signed and touted is a pretty bad example of what to do
his economic team is an unmitigated disaster that now is conducting financial warfare on its own citizens
the ACLU at this point is up in arms, after the Bush disaster they thought it was over, nope, Obama added even more abuses
I never thought I'd live to see the day where a US President claimed the right to rule the world by force and kill anyone anywhere with no judicial process but Nobel Peace prize winner Obama has done exactly that. He also expanded the covert sovereign violations by the US to 75 countries from 41 and expanded the US state sponsored terror program. Isn't that lovely?
I'd hate to see what a bad job looks like.

Think Snarf means the empty suit is doing a good enough job screwing up he doesn't need anyone to sabotage him.
