- JOE BIDEN WILL THROW DOWN ANYWHERE, ANYTIME: So Barack Obama wanted to get rid of Joe Biden for the day and settled on sending him to Georgia, to say “hi” to the flood victims down there. Immediately after arriving, Joe Biden addressed the local disaster relief officials and proclaimed, “They’re all doing one heck of a job.” Ha! Was he being intentionally ironic? No, because that requires the ability to be intentionally ironic. [Ben Smith]
…and after he made the remark, Sen. Biden shot the flood dead.
I hope they made brownies!
Fine. I’ll do it: Today, we are all Brownie.
It’s not the first time Captain Hair Plugs has plagiarized something! That’s called double-reverse meta-self-deprecation!
It’s very confusing when stuff means what it actually means.
To hell with the rest, Joe Biden is my hero.
…because he has Tourette’s Syndrome of the Truth.
I understand that Biden is under consideration for the new post of “Grand Panjandrum of America’s Mission to Civilize Afghanistan,” as per Wookies’ proposed “30 mile diameter Wal Mart Green Zone.”
By some strange coincidence, said Zone just happens to be about the same size as the foot that Mr. Biden keeps shoving into his mouth.
He was obviously being ironic. If he’d been speaking sincerely, he would’ve said something like “They’re all doing one bang-up hell of a job, I shit you not!”
SayItWithWookies: You don’t really mean that, do you?
Personally, I liked it when he called about about half of Virginia’s elected Democrats “turkeys” yesterday. You just don’t hear people using that word much anymore. Made me love Joe even more.
norbizness: He said heck of a job but he said it with all sorts of odd characters like h3ch 0f @ jo5 because he is secretly deep into some dynamic cutting edge fringe part of white culture I know nothing about but all the cool kids are hep to.
SayItWithWookies: revre
Extemporanus: Quit being mean!
Terry: Kid Dy-No-Mite (D-Del)
He was being funny. Just Joe being Joe, being funny. He’s a funny guy. He’s not as funny as he thinks he is, but still; kinda funny anyway.
user-of-owls: I don’t mean to be mean, but it is my mien, knowhatimean?
And the worst thing was, they were NOT doing a heck of a job. In fact, they were using hoses to water their lawns. Darn flood-worseners.
Extemporanus: I mean that major doubletalk operations have ended. We have found the weapons of mass delusion, and the insurgency is pretty much in its last throes.
It takes a man like George W. Bush to totally ruin a perfectly serviceable phrase for all time. And don’t even start me on the Medal of Freedom, which used to mean something other than “you are a total failure, but at least you covered up for me.”
Extemporanus: Try being median for once, would ya?
user-of-owls: I heard that he shot a flood in Reno, just to watch it dry.
1-2 inches of rain expected in the ATL this weekend, so he could get a re-do.
Lionel Hutz Esq.: I kept hoping that Paul Bremer would have gotten choked with his own Medal of Freedom, Luca Brasi-style.
Extemporanus: “Uncle”
SayItWithWookies: Ohhh, I see. In other words, “is” is “is”.
user-of-owls: For someone so average, you certainly have a knack for making mountains out of a mode hills.
Extemporanus: Pssst! Extemporanus is homoscedastic, pass it on.
Okay, it’s got to be his inflection or body language or something. When you read it, you’re left wondering what the fuck?
It’s as if Joe has this magic ability to step in things. If there was a verbal piece of dog doo in the most far flung part of the room, Joe would step in it, slide into the middle of the room, knocking over the host and hostess and knocking grandma’s dentures into the punchbowl along with any leftover shit he didn’t slide it. When you watch him, you’re almost tempted to write scores and flip them up when he is finished.
user-of-owls: That’s so not true! My Breusch–Pagan test came back negative!
(Also: “Aunt”.)
Extemporanus: I don’t care, I’m still gonna keep my Mahalanobis distance from you.
user-of-owls: Mahalanobis distance Geek! Geek! Argh! Strangely, they do teach about Mahalanobis distances in Gigolo School.
No, he was just being Joe Biden. And I say, let Biden be Biden.
user-of-owls: There’s Hotelling how long this could go on for, so I’m just going to take my T-square and go home.
Game, null set: Rapist-of-Raptors.
Vice president as goofy sidekick is infinitely better than president as goofy henchman.
They’re ALL doing a heck of a job?
How many Arabian horse judges are there?
But they’re not doing a heck of job down there, they’re out looting flavored snuff from flooded stores before that Hopey-banned goodness is all gone…
