This poor guy needs a freakin DRUG test. Hard to believe that they don't make the idiot wear a shock collar to shut him up!
Televisions 1929? 
FDR President??
From Politico -
Biden garbles Depression history
Joe Biden's denunciation of his own campaign's ad to Katie Couric got so much attention last night that another odd note in the interview slipped by.
He was speaking about the role of the White House in a financial crisis.
"When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed," Biden told Couric. "He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'"
As Reason's Jesse Walker footnotes it: "And if you owned an experimental TV set in 1929, you would have seen him. And you would have said to yourself, 'Who is that guy? What happened to President Hoover?'"
How ignorant is this statement? Let me count the ways:
1. Franklin Roosevelt didn’t become president in 1929 during the crash. He won the 1932 election and took office in 1933, largely because of the 1929 crash and the incompetent protectionist policies that transformed it into a Great Depression.
2. If FDR and President Herbert Hoover didn’t talk about the “princes of greed” in 1929, by the time FDR took over, that kind of populist rhetoric had certainly taken root. FDR greatly escalated the scope of federal government to institute the kind of redistributionism that Obama and Biden now champion.
3. If Hoover or FDR appeared on television in 1929 or even 1933, only a few hundred people would have seen it. Television was still an experimental medium and wouldn’t be introduced to the public for at least another decade.

I have to believe that Barry will throw him overboard. In that same interview he blasts Barry for the McCain internet ad and then opposes Barry on coal. The guy can't be controlled.
If this is the doofus that Stuttering Barry chose for VEEP imagine who he would chose for his cabinet.

Joe Biden - Super Genius. I can just imagine the what would have happened if Palin or McCain had made that statement. Oddly enough, it just isn't news when Biden does it. Funny how that works.
I especially like the first part of his statement, where he says
"Part of what a leader does is to instill confidence, is demonstrate that he or she knows what they are talking about," and then he goes on to show that he has no idea of what he is talking about. Priceless.

From ABC -
Oh, That Joe! (No. 17 in a Series) -- First Thing We Do, Let's Retain All the Lawyers
September 23, 2008 9:33 PM
"I think we're going to be up very late counting votes," Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., told a kettle of lawyers Tuesday night at a fundraiser for the Democratic Victory Fund hosted by the American Association of Justice in Washington, D.C. "And so, your help means a big deal. The last help we need you for, is you're the best legal minds in the country. We're going to need you going into election time, because we're going to mobilize thousands of lawyers to make sure they don't steal another election."
Standing near Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., Biden also said that if "one more national commentator talks about what a great debater I am, all Claire is gonna have to do is make sure that Sarah Palin, when she's walking on the stage, doesn't trip, and she'll win.
"One of the debates I've had and finally won within the campaign, Claire, is -- we talk about how John McCain's 'changed,'" Biden said. "He hasn't changed a bit. John McCain has not changed one single solitary bit from the day I met him 34 years ago.
"He has never, never, never, never, never, never, never shared the values set that you share," Biden said. "He's an honorable, decent man, but John McCain truly believes, truly believes that you are corporate America's problem," he said to the trial lawyers. "And thank God you are."
Biden said that he's "done more than any other senator combined" for trial lawyers.
"There are two people -- you've heard me say it before -- two groups that stand between us and the barbarians at the gate," Biden said. "It's you and organized labor. That's it. That is it. So, mark my words, mark my words, if we lose this election, you are going to continue to see a continuation of the onslaught on everything we care about. For real. For real. So, I'm not only thanking you for your help. I would think you're all absolutely brain-dead if you didn't help. And I mean it."

Anyone happen to see him break down in tears today?? The camera panned in...almost if on que (highly likely) to get the drama of the moment.
Never heard McCain bawling his eyes out when he talked about them torturing him for all of those years...

Hey everybody...Joe says he got shot at!!
Another Joe Biden Bullshit Tale
When Hillary Clinton told a tall tale about "landing under sniper fire" in Bosnia, she was accused of "inflating her war experience" by rival Democrat Barack Obama's campaign. But the campaign has been silent about Obama's running mate, Joe Biden, telling his own questionable story about being "shot at" in Iraq.
Imagine that...

ARLINGTON, VA — Today, Chief Warrant Officer 4 Michael J. Durant (Ret.) issued the following statement on Joe Biden’s apparently false accounts of near-misses on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq:
“Senator Biden claimed at a debate last year that he’d been ’shot at’ while visiting Iraq. And he has claimed repeatedly, most recently last week, that his helicopter was ‘forced down’ in Afghanistan — leaving his audience with the impression that it was fire from the Taliban which had grounded the aircraft. Neither of these stories appears to be true, and Senator Biden has never accounted for the discrepancies.
“I’ve been on a helicopter that was ‘forced down’ by enemy fire, and I’ve been ’shot at.’ Neither is easily confused with being caught in a snow storm or awakened by a loud bang in the night. Senator Biden has a responsibility to come clean on what actually happened, and explain why he would ever say such things to the American people. And with the Vice Presidential Debate coming up on Thursday, it is incumbent on the news media to ask Senator Biden the tough questions — as they have so far failed to do — and examine his responses closely for inconsistencies of the kind we’ve witnessed in recent months.
“The American people expect and deserve leaders who tell the truth about their record and their experiences, and a news media that holds all candidates — no matter their party — to the same standard.”
Background On Michael Durant
Michael Durant, CW4 (Retired), US Army; born July 23, 1961 in Berlin, NH. He entered the United States Army in August 1979. Following basic training he attended the Defense Language Institute, and was then assigned to the 470th Military Intelligence Group, Fort Clayton, Panama as a Spanish voice intercept operator. He then completed helicopter flight training at Fort Rucker, Alabama. Upon appointment to Warrant Officer 1 in November 1983, he completed the UH60 Black Hawk Qualification Course and was assigned to the 377th Medical Evacuation Company, Seoul Korea. His next assignment was with the 101st Aviation Battalion, Fort Campbell, Kentucky, where he performed duties as an instructor pilot.
Michael joined the 160th Special Operations Group on August 1, 1988. Assigned to D company, he performed duties as Flight Lead and Standardization Instructor Pilot.
