You know he’s having a big day when his meditation on “girl-boys”
rates as only the second dopiest thing he’s said. And yet — he’s right,
isn’t he? Greasy Joe’s national ambitions have been one long exercise
in self-sabotage, not just during this campaign but since he started
running for president 20 years ago. The plagiarism; the IQ comment; the votes against the first Iraq war and in favor of the second, followed by his opposition to the surge; the 7/11 crack about Indians; the “bright, clean, articulate” backhanded compliment to Obama; and more recently the “no coal plants in America” clusterfark and the warning that we’re sure to face some sort of major international crisis
should we elect The One. If the election had ended up being about
foreign policy, as McCain hoped/bet that it would, that last one alone
might have been enough to sink the Dems.
And yet, in spite of it all, Biden’s a day away from being elected vice president. Exit question: How did he do it?
