Joe Biden has apparently been personally working very hard to get stuff passed, because at a fundraiser today, he said “the heavy lifting is over.” The boxes have been moved to America’s new apartment! The Hispanic fellows have been given a tip! And pizza has been ordered! Congratulations, the U.S. government is done for now, and you no longer need to pay attention to politics until after the midterm elections, because Joe Biden says so.
Joe Biden further failed to shut his mouth:
“Barack and I are realists,” the vice president added. “Government is not the answer. But we also know we can plant seeds. These seeds that have been planted have generated whole new industries.”
But perhaps government is the answer for health care reform? And other things that have been passed? You know, the “heavy lifting” you have done, Joe Biden? Perhaps you just read off the wrong party’s talking point.
It’s heartening, at least, to know Barack and Joe are planting their seeds everywhere, and that hasn’t been diminished by them throwing out their backs with all the heavy lifting. Wait, no, “heartening” is not the word. Gross. “Gross” is what we’re looking for. [The Hill]

All’s done that ends done, especially with a Boehner on your back.
Well at least with this VP an Iraqi toddler doesn’t explode every time he opens his mouth.
If germination doesn’t happen soon, we’re screwed in November.
Lift with your knees, not with your Barack.
Joe has a pulse. What the hell else do you want?
Brawndo is what plants crave. It has electrolytes. Also.
[re=624649]Chernobyl Soup[/re]: Dude, infantilized explosive devices are no fucking joke.
Yeah don’t crack open that beer just yet, Joe — I’ve had bosses like Obama, and when they say something’s done, that means it’s time for the serious clean-up, then you have to organize the toolshed, and that invariably causes him to pick up the chainsaw, and that has to be cleaned and the tension checked, which causes him to start doing the same with the weed whacker and the tiller, but since he’s got the tiller out he might as well tackle that garden spot in the corner he’s been thinking about, and it just goes on and on. So yeah, the heavy lifting’s done, but only insofar as it’s never done, and after declaring victory at five, you’ll be too tired to drink the beer at eleven when you’re actually finished. Nice work, though.
Joe could light orphanages on fire, beat up all the Special Olympians & run over every Girl Scout cookie booth & he wouldn’t be as bad as you-know-who. I love Joe (gaffes and all) & refuse to think poorly of him, esp. when you think about who could be Veep now. Also.
Giant pot plants from seeds and stems grow.
but, yes, I am better off now than I was two years ago — two years ago at this time I had been unemployed for 3 months. Now, I’m unemployed, but still drawing severance for another month. So, yes, the One has clearly fixed everything.
This is a big fucking deal.
We can put a man on the moon, but when I want to “plant seeds,” the government has been zero help.
O/T, but Daniel Schorr died. Anybody on Nixon’s enemies list was OK by me.
But isn’t that what everyone’s already saying? That no one’s going to do anything before the midterms now?
When Republicans do “heavy lifting” it usually involves a “wide stance”
Listen, I don’t care. I don’t! I will love Joe Biden forever, for that birthday when he gave me that plastic cup where the ladies’ clothes disappear as it gets colder.
Five Thirty Eight’s latest thinking is that the congressional midterms are gonna be totally meh. The Republicans will pick up the typical midterm amount, but not enough to change anything (and supposedly Tom Harkin has a secret plan to say, “Filibuswhat?” in the new term), and then Hopey will crush the living shit out of Romney in 2012 and FINALLY, we’ll get some fuckin’ socialism up in this bitch.
Get the troops out of Iraq (next year) and Afghanistan (2014), and we’re talking LBJ without Vietnam and pants that chafe his nutsack.
Call me an optimist. Optimists rule.
That photo, man, it’s so Kirk-and-Spock.
Not the ghey Kirk-and-Spock of slash fanfic, but the “Spock-Barack-is-cool-like-ice-and-Kirk-Biden-just-wants-to-get-drunk-and-get-laid” kind of Kirk-and-Spock.
Hey Jack Steuf,
Redstate called. They are prepared to offer you that dream job. Don’t let the door hit ya!
[re=624674]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: I love Joey, too, and I’m getting fed up with liberals who rallied in massive numbers to elect the two of them, then sat back and had a nice glass of PInot whatever-the-fuck, evidently so blinded by visions of unicorns and rainbows that everyone just quit because, you know, we’d elected the smartest president ever and he, by himself, could get shit done is spite of the hugely motivated right wing hate machine (who have nothing against him for being, you know, half negro) exploding with the most vicious attacks this nation has seen since the Klan went out of fashion. (Out of fashion in parts of the nation, anyway).
Of course, my criticism of the disappearing grassroots is aimed at those wonkeratti who live in the developed states. Here in American’s third world region, aka, America’s Heartland, our election night victory parties were very poorly attended. Let’s see . . .there was me, my husband, our daughter . . .
[re=624811]mustardman[/re]: I woulda’ said that, but was afraid Ken would ban me.
[re=624719]Lazy Media[/re]: 538? Nate Silver? He said that? Now he’s my pretend boyfriend again. I need one, now that David ‘You’re Welcome” Schuster has vanished.
[re=624719]Lazy Media[/re]: I, for one, welcome our optimist overlords.
Haha love that guy. I bet Biden’d make a totally awesome grade school principal. Assemblies would probably kick all kinds of ass.
Listen, I can’t make fun of Biden if you Wonketeers keep beating me to the punch. And making fun of Biden is half the fun of being a conservative.
