TAKE A CHANCE ON ME:

Joe Biden got Duked in ’88 election (Howie Carr, August 24, 2008, Boston Herald)

Let the Los Angeles Times call him a “barrel of gaffes.” This man is a role model to millions of American men. He beat a disease - male pattern baldness. He persevered through the decades, plugging away, as it were, with his hair plugs. And now this is said of Biden on his behalf:

“He’s been there for three decades.”

That’s what you call damning with faint praise. Since when is being “there,” wherever “there” is, grounds for a promotion? Sal DiMasi has been “there” for 30 years. So has Charles Manson, come to think of it, even though it’s a different “there.”

The Associated Press is a house organ of the Democratic Party and even the AP feels compelled to describe Biden as “long-winded.” He slurs his fellow candidates, and the occasional ethnic minority. Lucky for Biden he’s a Democrat, because it’s only a matter of time until his next macaca moment.

What I kept searching for in vain yesterday was any description of the end of Biden’s first presidential run, back in 1987.
