No, Old Handsome Joe Biden Is Not Cool With You Slapping Your Lady (Unless It Is A Sexy Slap)
The sophisticated gentlemens of National Review Online are really, most terribly sorry for maligning our Old Handsome Joe Biden, God Love Him and Keep Him. But why are they sorry? They are sorry they are so bad at Tubechop that it was even clear to BreitbartTV that they had cut him off in the middle of the sentence. And that sentence was:
We’ve learned that certain behaviors on the part of an abuser portend much more danger than other behaviors. For example, if an abuser has attempted to strangle his victim, if he has threatened to shoot her, if he has sexually assaulted her, and there’s a number of other signs, about eight others. These are tell-tale signs to say this isn’t your garden-variety slap across the face[.]
Obviously, they left off the part where Joe winks, flashes those pearly whites, and murmurs huskily, "unless she's into that." Haha, no, he did not say that either. He said some dumb boring thing about "and that'znot okay. "
So of course NRO chopped him off in the middle of his sentence, like if we took tape of Allen West saying anything and chopped it off before the part where he explains that all the preceding was nonsense? Right, no, not like that at all. OH, we know, like if someone took a tape of a lady explaining the time she used to be reverse-racist but then realized the error of her ways and now knows we are all in this together and explained how she spent the rest of her life both atoning and helping the people she used to reverse-racisize, but then if someone cut it off just at the part where she shouted KILL WHITEY.
Like that, probably.
Anyway, everyone in the world followed this hot NRO scoop and HOW DARE YOU JOE BIDENED all the way home, except for BreitbartTV, like what we said, and then NRO had to apologize abjectly for its "haste" in tubechopping the video so that the edit was so obvious.
Mediaite has the tick-tock of all the rightwing sites still showing the O'Keefian hack job, and also of Nathaniel Botwinick's (the writer's) increasingly abject apologies.

I did not watch the video. I have very little idea what the fuck this whole dealie is about. I have the general impression that it is the sort of fooferaw that might have arisen if I had made some unguarded remark about a friendly slap on the ass, as a counter-example to serious abuse, if I happened to be the Vice President of the United States in an era full of inept motherfuckers who manipulate audio-video ineptly.
But, I can't right now pay a lot of attention to this, because of the fact that my younger (21) spawn has actually shown signs of achieving sentience. I am, very seriously, delighted.
NRO, Breitbart's Ghost, and all those assholes can go fuck themselves.
just one of the many unanticipated consequences of Boehner scheduling all those House vacations...
