Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Biden

Democrat presidents seem to have a tendency to choose blithering idiots for VP. Look at the last 3: Biden, Gore, and Mondale. (Recall that the genius Mondale ran for president and his number one campaign promise was to raise taxes. Result: 13 electoral votes, an all-time record as safe as Cy Young's 511 wins). Why do they do this? Perhaps it's to protect themselves from assassination attempts. Even the most deranged nutcase would think twice about putting Biden in charge.

Gore's not as stupid as he sounds -- but then no one is as stupid as Gore sounds. He's turned green energy (and government subsidies) into a cash cow that has increased his wealth by a factor of 50 since he left office -- and he was wealthy heir before he ever entered politics.

So he's dishonest, and made a lot of money using fraud and political connections. That describes most politicians, but it doesn't prove he's smart. It does take a smart person to make a fortune honestly these days, while negotiating the impossible maze of government regulations.

Gore an idiot? Are you joking? He's a brilliant and insightful man who cares deeply about this planet.

Gore flunked out of one college, dropped out of another because he was about to flunk out, and when his rich and influential daddy bought his way into another college, he finally got a degree, graduating in the bottom 20% of his class. He did not major in science. He took one of those dumbed-down science classes designed for English majors and others who aren't capable of doing the math required for real science classes. And he barely passed that. He knows less about science than you do. And we established long ago that you know less than nothing about science.

No, it's Allison. Even LD's satire isn't as absurd as what comes out of her twisted mind.

careful,your alleged "Cornell degree " is showing again.
Cornell must be very embarrassed every time you post and mention "being a Cornell graduate".

Well I didnt know what his academic record was. But obviously there are some people who've had lacklustre academic careers but were still bright and learned a great deal through actual experience, Doug.

I do not embarass Cornell alumni.

"Actual experience" does not give anybody a knowledge of the hard sciences. It takes years of study to understand how the natural world works. And it takes a thorough knowledge of mathematics as well.

He even flunked GOD, I believe he was enrolled in one fancy dancy skewel's seminary. The only thing smart about algore is that he has a criminal mind and while having an I Q deficit, he does have that criminal gift of cunning. He was so smart he lost his own state..HA!

I would think that ALL of us care about the planet. But to follow and be inspired by Al Gore who went to Vanderbilt for secular study; studied Government (not science courses) in Harvard and NEVER graduated Vanderbilt University of Law....I would place my respect - not on an individual who knows NOTHING about science and has no hands on knowledge. But rather I respect those poccesing degrees relating to our earth science, those who work in these fields and those who ACTUALLY do research and devote their lives to the "earth" Lord help, Al Fore is just a figure head!

After all, Soc, you don't have to be a math whiz to invent the Internet.

Soc, a former colleague of mine had an MFA in creative writing from Cornell. She had a little trouble with white English, eg., the subject-verb agreement thingy.

I was going to title this column, “How Not to Be a Smarmy, Bellicose, Horse-Toothed Dork Like Biden.” However, upon deeper contemplation I thought I’d direct it toward parents as an attempt to save the next generation from the insufferable effects of the boorish Biden bug.

To call Biden an ass-clown after last Thursday’s debate with Rep. Paul Ryan is to insult bottoms, donkeys and Bozos far and wide. I’m surprised Joe didn’t fart loudly and...
