...and funny thing is, Biden's probably the best practical choice of
Obama's "front runners"...or, well, he was before he hooked up with the
Great Off-White Hope...


Then again, he might serve out a couple of terms in the new Obama
administration, and show everyone that he may be one of the smartest men in
Washington. Meanwhile, the wrinkled white-haired candidate gets to choose
between showing that he has an independent set of balls and knuckling under
to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannitty. Wanna guess which way McCain will go??

Hey, I said Biden is probably the best practical choice. He's a pretty
sharp guy and pol, esp. when the press isn't around when he's speaking
off-hand, and he'd probably make a fair Prez (again, as long as he NEVER
had to make an unscripted speech). But I imagine Turdblossom and the
Rovettes are probably damper than nymphos in an NFL lockerroom over some
of Biden's past statements, some straightforward and honest (like his
comments to Jon Stewart, who is a friend of McCain's) and others, well,
let's just say that they don't do Obama much good. I can see the press
conference now:

"Senator Biden, what's your opinion of your running mate?"

"Well, Sam, he's a good-looking, well-dressed guy, and when he speaks,
you'd never guess he's half jigaboo..."

"Uh...what?"

"No, I mean it. Look at the guy, bright white teeth against that
mocha-colored skin - he's a handsome guy. And he doesn't need $500.00
loafers and 136 houses to seem like your average, normal white guy..."

"Er, yeah...well, what about your comments regarding you running WITH
John McCain?"

"Oh, well, Sam, that's before anyone had really heard of Barack Obama."

"Senator, you said it in late 2005..."

"Right. Exactly. Way back then, no one knew who Barack was. Heck, all
he had done up to that point is made a speech and voted "present" a
bunch. Heck, I'd didn't even know who he was when I saw him around the
Senate...I just figured he was some actor friend of Hillary's or maybe
Barney's new 'friend'..."

"WHAT?"

"I still think McCain would make one heck of President, but I just think
Obama would make a better one..."

"Why do you say that? What would you say are his biggest
qualifications?"

"The man gives one heck of a speech. Just about every twenty-something
year old white democratic girl I know just swoons at the mere mention of
his name. Some of the guys, too. Like I said, look at him - if he were
a gal, he'd be Halle Berry..."

"WHAT?"

"Yeah, I heard someone say that Barack is the Halle Berry of American
politics - Jon Stewart or Al Franken or Bill Maher, one of those guys,
and just look at him - they're right as rain."

"Senator Biden, what do you think of the whispers that you and Obama are
beginning to look suspiciously like McGovern/Eagleton..."

"That's ridiculous - Obama's black."

"Thanks for your time, Senator..."

"Thank you...say, you look a little macaque-ish to me...are you sure
you're a reporter and not a convenience store clerk?"

And for the record, I don't really think Biden is a racist, but some of
his statements are just Vermont white-boy naive (and sometimes, contain
a grain truth or at least a grain of what a whole bunch of folks of all
races, creeds, and colors are REALLY thinking.
