[Guest post by DRJ]
After asking for God’s blessing on the soul of visiting Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen’s very-much-alive mother, Vice President Joe Biden recited the “Irish proverb that ‘a silent mouth is sweet to hear’ and yielded the podium to the president.”
I bet there are days President Obama wishes Biden would tattoo that proverb on his palm.

LOL! And some said Sarah Palin was intellectually and educationally unqualified to be the veep….
I used to think that Uncle Joe was half-plastered half the time, and genuinely inebriated the rest of the time. Then I read somewhere that he does not drink. Whatever the truth, he’s an unintentional buffoon. His malapropisms and ignorant statements are classic, and should be collected into a book…then there’s that hilarious video of the man welcoming O and Wife to his home…I thought Uncle Joe was going to start a five-minute handshake with the candidate.

I don’t know if Patterico will have time to comment but I’ll send him a link. It reminds me a little of the MySpace case.
DRJ (daa62a) — 3/17/2010 @ 7:54 pmI vow tomorrow to write a post consisting of a list of entries with the form: “They told me if I voted for Sarah Palin, an idiot would become Vice President. And they were right!”

In reverse, on his forehead, so he could read it every morning in the mirror.
AD - RtR/OS! (bdaa22) — 3/17/2010 @ 8:52 pmWell, at least he didn’t bow to the PM.
Icy Texan (89b4d9) — 3/18/2010 @ 2:41 amThe original proverb in Irish: Is binn béal ina thost, literally “Sweet is a mouth in its silence”.
liamascorcaigh (0e4f34) — 3/18/2010 @ 3:24 am[…] Please tell me again why leftists thought Gov. Sarah Palin would be a worse vice president than this embarrassing clown? […]
