Biden Plays To The Crowd, Slams Bush, Giuliani, Etc.

Despite being in the pockets of the credit card industry, it has been fun listening to Joe Biden recently. Ever since he made that ignorant comment about Barack Obama, this candidate-without-a-chance has amused his audiences with strong words and speeches filled with "red meat." Today was no exception.

From RawStory:


At a campaign stop in Des Moines, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden had some tough words for the President, along with two GOP presidential candidates. "This guy is brain dead," Biden said of Bush, eliciting a chorus of laughter from his audience. Known for his slips of the tongue, Biden added, "I know I’ll be quoted, I’ll be killed for that.”

Speaking of Bush's decision to commute the sentence of Scooter Libby, Biden stated, “This is a guy who is on the balls of his heels, here’s a guy who is lower off in the polls than any president in modern history and he goes ahead and he does something that just flies in the face of the sensibilities of the American people.”

The outspoken senator did not stop with the President, singling out Rudy Giuiliani, "I can hardly wait to debate Rudy Giuliani if he is their nominee,” he said. “Because I will eat his lunch."


He also called Mitt Romney crazy for his calls to go to war with Iran. I would love to hear some policy positions from Joe, perhaps something to do with reforming the Bankruptcy bill so that it helps regular people instead of his big campaign contributors. Of course we all know (Biden included) that he has no shot to win and is most likely doing this for a Cabinet position, so let the "red meat" continue.
