Althouse: Let Biden eat cake.

September 22, 2009

Let Biden eat cake.

"He chatted with Ben Nelson, grabbed himself some cake and started gobbling whilst peering philosophically out the window. Obviously, Biden, a frequent Dem lunch guest earlier this year during the heavy lifts on stimulus and sundry, ain't there for the cake."

Biden has discovered that mirrors do reveal a person's character.; 9/22/09, 2:07 PM
ricpic said...: Work. What work? Neither gravy train Zero nor gravy train Biden have ever done a lick of work. No. I take that back. They both networked quite successfully in their youth in order to get on board the gravy train and never face work again. Networking was their work. Now they're inside the buttercup it's fuck you, suckers, all the way.; 9/22/09, 2:11 PM

I imagine if it was someone I disagreed with it they would be peering "blankly".; 9/22/09, 2:50 PM

Penny said...: Biden is best defined by being on the six o'clock train out of Washington and back to Wilmington.

He's like the guy who circles the time clock about ten minutes before quitting time so he can be first in line to punch out.

The man is damn lucky to be in politics cause no business would have had him.; 9/22/09, 3:20 PM

Skyler said...: I don't get this. He's the VP. He belongs in the Senate. That's his only job now. What's the big deal of him being there?; 9/22/09, 4:38 PM
Alex said...: He ate cake???? While these people DARE to lecture us on OUR bad food habits? The hypocrisy! Think of the childRUN!!!; 9/22/09, 4:41 PM
Jason (the commenter) said...: When he's eating he's not talking. Obama should have cake put out wherever Biden goes.; 9/22/09, 4:51 PM

In my book this comes under the heading of who gives a rat's ass.

There.; 9/22/09, 4:54 PM

AlmaGarret said...: Biden reminds me of the Roger Sterling character on Mad Men. Sort of a glad handing, useless figurehead with a good looking wife and a penchant for making occasionally funny, often inappropriate one-liners during awkward moments.

Mmm, cake. I'm off to bake a Sour Cream Coffee Cake.; 9/22/09, 5:58 PM

Chris Arabia said...: Alma -- interesting thought. I would modify it slightly: Biden is Stirling's douchebag doppelganger.

I suppose that means the lawn mower will next drive itself from SC to wherever Jane is. Oh well, she's no Joan.
