Too Much Information About Joe Biden’s Various Glands

  • Ooh it’s a new meaningless national poll! This one has Obama ahead by 8 points, thanks to the endorsement of America’s first black president (before Dennis Haysbert, even!), Colin Powell. [Reuters]
  • Ted Stevens said funny things about his bare bottom during his recent corruption trial. [Washington Post]
  • Early voting started strong in a county outside Dallas — people were lined up to vote half an hour before polls opened, and 3620 people cast their votes Monday. [Tyler Morning Telegraph]
  • Barack Obama campaigned in Orlando yesterday, quoting John McCain and all the smart things he used to say about tax cuts. [Los Angeles Times]
  • Obama also used that line about “are you better off today than you were four weeks ago?”, a reference to the old socialist demagogue Ronald Reagan. [Boston Herald]
  • Joe Biden’s brain is in sound condition, but his prostate is enlarged. Can America afford to have a vice president with a formerly wonky brain and an enlarged prostate? [WebMD]

    “Can America afford to have a vice president with a formerly wonky brain and an enlarged prostate?” Why not? We elected Bill twice for president, didn’t we? And we ALL know his prostate got frequently enlarged.

  2. I guess that’s better than a shrunken brain and no prostate…

    Poor Joe has a growing problem not a going problem

    When I went to the Boston Herald site, the ad it showed me under the “Are You Better Off” headline was for a $60,000 BMW M3, now available with 0.9% financing. Poignant.

    CivicHoliday:
    Actually it’s a bit of both. At least that’s what my dad tells me.

  6. CivicHoliday says at 8:59 am, October 21st, 2008

    ManchuCandidate: Yay! Thanks for playing along.

  7. Ted Steven’s threw his wife under the bus. Now that’s a classy gentleman right there.

    Stevens: “We have lots of things in our house that don’t belong to us.”

    GUILTY!

    I hope Gaffey Joe’s scrotum plugs are okay.

  11. bitchincamaro says at 9:26 am, October 21st, 2008

    Any poll with the Zogby affiliation should be ignored. Period.

  12. Luckily, Joe’s heart is as enlarged as his prostate or somesuch.

  13. splittter says at 9:41 am, October 21st, 2008

    “He bought that chair as a gift, but I refused it as a gift. He put it there and said it was my chair. I told him I would not accept it as a gift. We have lots of things in our house that don’t belong to us.”

    I hope this sort of thinking catches on, I’ve got all kinds of cool shit in other peoples houses that I can claim back!

  14. JoeFannyPack says at 9:48 am, October 21st, 2008

    Given that so many politicians think down there isn’t it a good thing for it to be a little larger?

  15. Actually, Ladies, an enlarged prostate is a symptom of too little, ahem, action, not too much. The prostate becomes engorged with fluid, which provides opportunities for infection, making it even less fun. In the Marines, this is called the Hawaiian Disease, AKA Lacka-Nuffa-Nookie. And it strikes persons as young as 21. Ouch!

  16. TGY: Or perhaps that’s his mouth.

  17. Robbertjan says at 9:55 am, October 21st, 2008

    Worlds End: of course 49% of kids like McCain. He looks like Santa!

  18. Manofsteel says at 1:31 pm, October 21st, 2008

    Is Nancy Pelosi really ready to be a heartbeat away from the vice presidency, when the vice president is obvs in failing prostate health? These are the questions we need to ask, people.

  19. Peggy McGilligan says at 12:18 am, October 22nd, 2008

    I was going to try to add a witty comment, but the idea of a President Biden, or a President Pelosi, has me reaching for the Mylanta. The prospect makes me physically ill. I guess if you’re on drugs, like Bill Ayers; there’s something to be thankful for, it doesn’t matter much who’s president. After all, Bill did get elected twice. I’m still wondering about: http://theseedsof9-11.com

  20. Maybe old people just shouldn’t run for office. McOld and Sen. Grumpy sound confused.

    And Orin Hatch announced this morning about the prez: This isn’t a high school election. We need experience like John McCain’s.

    Really? Has he explained that to Sassy Sarah?
