Joe Biden: I Have Known Three Presidents Intimately
Joe Biden: the gift that keeps on giving:
The bit about knowing presidents intimately is silly fun but this is worth watching for the substantive point he’s trying to make. He really, truly wants you to believe that a guy who waited until an election year to unilaterally enact parts of the DREAM Act and reveal his true position on gay marriage is too high-minded to make policy with an eye to political considerations. Pro tip for Slow Joe: The reason he never asks “how do I benefit from this decision?” at cabinet meetings is because he’s already thought that through. He doesn’t need any input on it from you and Hillary. That’s what Axelrod and Plouffe are for.
All I want to know is: whose name does Joe call out in the middle of the night? Barack? Bill?
Jimmah?
Barack’s insurance policy.
Patterico (83033d) — 8/22/2012 @ 8:50 pmEwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
JD (603efd) — 8/22/2012 @ 8:53 pmI think Joe is the GOP’s top level mole.
OK, I don’t. But I know a couple of kooks who are now probably wondering.
Dustin (73fead) — 8/22/2012 @ 8:57 pmOh, I think he’s the third person in the “join Michelle and tell Barack you’re ‘in'” scenario.
elissa (a49632) — 8/22/2012 @ 8:58 pmnot fond of pious peanut farmah
Colonel Haiku (5bfa3a) — 8/22/2012 @ 9:00 pmJoe fancied himself quite teh chahmah
charmed Jimmy did grab it
“that ain’t no damn rabbit!”
teh lust in his heart held bad karma
Slow Joe Biden went into the pharmacy to ask about some V*agra.
“Can I get it over the counter?” Slow Joe asked.
Colonel Haiku (5bfa3a) — 8/22/2012 @ 9:02 pmThe pharmacist replied “Buddy, I don’t know how big it will get.”
Good. How about, “I don’t know how long it’ll be”?
nk (875f57) — 8/22/2012 @ 9:11 pmThe first time I ever saw Joe Biden was that ‘I guarantee I have a higher IQ than you!’ flip out.
Every time I think about someone compensating for their insecurities, I think about that stupid fool and his attempt to impress the room.

Well, his boss apparently does swing both ways (ie, membership at a bath house in Chicago), so that has created another hot, juicy opportunity for Joe. Hubba, hubba, vroom, vroom!!
Mark (18b242) — 8/22/2012 @ 9:15 pmIt is going to be interesting to see how the media and the blogs play slow Joe vs. Akin to establish some sort of meme to try to sway the election.
The set up is there. Does a Senatorial candidate have as much sway as the VP? The left was very successful in ’98 with Foley, but the field has changed.
Does a fool on the Presidential ticket matter as much as a fool trying to reach the upper chamber of Congress?
I’m thinking the Dems think that this is the game-changer.
It may be, but I’m betting voters can judge fools better than Axelrod focus groups. At least I hope they can.
We also have the GOP ace in the hole: Cutter. I can only hope they keep sending that intellectually superior snit out at every opportunity. Especially since the kabosh has been put on Wasserman-whateverhernameis.
Ag80 (b2c81f) — 8/22/2012 @ 9:15 pmThis opens a whole new line of defense for Obama. he was removing Biden from a position of actual relevance by taking him from the Senate and making him the Vice President.
You should be thanking him!
Dustin (73fead) — 8/22/2012 @ 9:18 pmOne day after Biden calls Republicans “squealing pigs” we get this?
Icy (9bbab7) — 8/22/2012 @ 9:20 pmWell, I’m still living in the wrong century: Of course I meant 2008.
Ag80 (b2c81f) — 8/22/2012 @ 9:22 pmWell, of course he has intimate knowledge!
When he said “I promise you, the president has a big stick,” he knew whereof he spoke.
Icy (9bbab7) — 8/22/2012 @ 9:23 pmEvery time I see Biden, I cannot forget the long history of self-aggrandizement, his awful treatment of Clarence Thomas, that silly IQ video (complete with outright lie after lie about his own freaking background).
And I think: that’s Jon Lovitz’s character without hair or with plugs.
As for what Joe Biden calls out in passion…well, he calls out to himself. Of course.
Simon Jester (4b3e14) — 8/22/2012 @ 9:28 pmAlso, first and foremost, people tend to forget that Biden is a plagiarist. Of course the media tend to forget that episode, regardless of the truth.
Ag80 (b2c81f) — 8/22/2012 @ 9:40 pmWho knew that Joe Biden was really a nom de guerre for Mr Benjamin Dover? Old Ben Dover really, really likes “forward” politicians. Why he’s intimately known three of them!
Comanche Voter (29e1a6) — 8/22/2012 @ 9:49 pmThree Presidents?
AD-Restore the Republic/Obama Sucks! (2bb434) — 8/22/2012 @ 10:43 pmThe question is:
Who was the knower, and who was the knowee?
Intimately doesn’t have to mean sexually. Are you a bunch of middle school boys?
trebek (0b4ce2) — 8/23/2012 @ 2:05 amNothing quite like a intimate politician.
mg (44de53) — 8/23/2012 @ 2:47 am“If you’re gonna ride my ass, can you at least pull my hair plugs?”
Icy (9bbab7) — 8/23/2012 @ 5:09 amHis sprouting hair implants nuzzled up against Jimmy Carter’s sweater must be a fond memory for Ol’Hairplugs.
Bugg (403960) — 8/23/2012 @ 6:22 amProbably Rosebud.
jcw46 (b4329c) — 8/23/2012 @ 6:49 amIf the President was incapacitated, who would you want calling the shots: Joe Biden or Paul Ryan?
ropeligt (9b5d12) — 8/23/2012 @ 7:50 amThis President IS incapacitated, by his hate.
AD-Restore the Republic/Obama Sucks! (b8ab92) — 8/23/2012 @ 9:28 amIf Biden had had his way, the last 8 presidents would have been:
Humphrey
McGovern
Carter
Mondale
Biden, oh wait, Dukakis
Clinton
Gore
Biden, oh wait, that clean black guy Obama
except that we’d have been just another Soviet Socialist Republic long before now.
Kevin M (bf8ad7) — 8/23/2012 @ 10:38 amGiven the definition that you seem to be using, I have known eleven presidents intimately.
The f***ed Dana (3e4784) — 8/23/2012 @ 10:50 amAD, we don’t know that he is incapacitated by his hate, because he was already incapacitated by his lack of ability.
To have been incapacitated by hate, one must first have had the ability to do something productive absent the hate.
The realistic Dana (3e4784) — 8/23/2012 @ 10:52 amLet’s face it: Barack Obama was Peter Principled at the community organizer level. Even as a state senator, a job any half-wit could do, he was barely able to vote “present” much of the time.
The snarky Dana (3e4784) — 8/23/2012 @ 10:55 amI can’t wait to hear how happy Biden is to be in Tacoma countering the GOP convention next week.
Steve57 (5797fd) — 8/23/2012 @ 11:12 amBiden may actually be the brains in President 57 States intimate threesome:
Michelle Obama: ‘Get to the Polls on November the 2’
I think the GOP ought to put that in an ad, and urge all Democrats to follow her advice.
Steve57 (5797fd) — 8/23/2012 @ 11:51 am“I have known three Presidents intimately” sounds like something that Marilyn Monroe would have said !
Elephant Stone (65d289) — 8/23/2012 @ 12:38 pmJoe Biden: I Have Known Three Presidents Intimately
And I had thought that Obama’s “evolution” on gay marriage was solely political… I had no idea that he and Biden had a personal connection prompting that decision.
malclave (1db6c5) — 8/23/2012 @ 3:23 pmSome people want to find a double entendre that is just simply not there.
And none of us should be dragged along into agreeing that there is a possible alternative mneaning here.
There’s a difference between “known intimately” and “been intimate”
Sammy Finkelman (d22d64) — 8/23/2012 @ 4:03 pm“Joe Biden: I Have Known Three Presidents Intimately”
That’s too much information running through my brain.
Dave Surls (46b08c) — 8/23/2012 @ 4:09 pm==There’s a difference between “known intimately” and “been intimate”==
Do you think so, Sammy?
elissa (50b427) — 8/23/2012 @ 4:20 pmI can’t match Joe Biden’s exploits (what is he? some kind of president groupie?), but I did shake hands with Barry Goldwater once.
Dave Surls (46b08c) — 8/23/2012 @ 4:44 pmGerald Ford for teh reacharound!
Colonel Haiku (5dd42f) — 8/23/2012 @ 7:13 pmI saw President Ford give a speech once, but there was no physical contact.
You have to draw the line somewhere.
Dave Surls (46b08c) — 8/23/2012 @ 7:26 pmWell I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night!
peedoffamerican (ee1de0) — 8/23/2012 @ 7:56 pmWhen Jimmah Cahtah famously admitted to committing adultery in his heart, is it possible he was speaking about Joe Biden ?
Elephant Stone (65d289) — 8/23/2012 @ 8:27 pmThis is hard hitting news.
trebek (834eec) — 8/24/2012 @ 2:17 amFantastic post, very informative. I wonder why the opposite experts of this sector do not understand this. You should continue your writing.
