Biden proves it. All politicians are idiots.
By Jennifer Brooks
News Journal Washington Bureau

07/06/2006
WASHINGTON — They say the main thing standing between Joe Biden and the White House is Joe Biden’s mouth.

The would-be presidential candidate proved it again on a recent trip to New Hampshire, where C-Span cameras caught him telling an Indian-American activist that Indian-Americans are the fastest-growing immigrant group in Delaware.

In fact, Biden said, “You cannot go into a Dunkin Donuts or a 7-Eleven unless you have a slight Indian accent.”

1. I'm leaning to the idea of term limits....
Folks like Biden have been in the bubble way too long.......this is what happens.

My suggestion..............now that I brought up the subject:

House Seat......6 terms...or 12 years; eligible to run again after 4 years.

Senate Seat.....2 terms...or 12 years; eligible to run again after 6 years.

2. Ok - call me an idiot too - cause I don't even bat an eye at this kind
of thing anymore.

Not after 6 years of shrubCo. vilifying people of middle eastern descent every other day.

3. Joe was just shrewdly trying to pick up that massive
Indian-American vote. Bush was in a Dunkin Donuts just the other day trying to do the same thing. Biden's no fool! My only suggestion is that the next time he reaches out to Indian-Americans, he wear a Nehru jacket. That'd play big in Little Calcutta.

4. They don't make duct tape strong enough to close Joe's mouth.
That he's an idiot is an understatement.

7. Guess that's why he plagerizes his speeches. He can't make them up
without coming out with nonsense like that?

10. This post, and the comments regarding it are proof
That DU's think for themselves, and do not hesitate to call Democratic idiots for the idiots they are.

We don't necessarily agree with each other, but unlike dittoheads we can still think for ourselves, and when we find our supposed leaders lacking do not shrink from voicing our opinions.


How many Republicans would criticize Bush thusly?


It's good to have the company of other DUers here.

14. I'll bet Leiberman is thrilled he's coming to help out with the
campaign. Whats next for Biden offering Ganesha a peanut?

15. He's right.
Most of the 7/11s in Delaware are owned by Indian immigrants. Don't know about Dunkin Donuts. Never go there.

16. Must be tiring
canvassing every single 7/11 in Delaware to confirm your seemingly ignorant statement.

17. Hollywood Joe later added that
black people are great dancers, Chinese folks are whiz bangs at math and Irish folks are always drunk and starting fights.

His hair implants must have been placed a bit to deep.

It is no accident that Lil Timmy Russert and the rest have him on their shows almost every week. He is EXACTLY the type of Democrat that they love to put on TV.
