Has it really only been a day? Good, God! Crazy Uncle Joe's already gone and done something stupid in his new post in Iraq. "Biden says violence may cause disengagement from Iraq." Great going there, buddy. Why not just encourage the moral of the enemies of Freedom in Iraq? Oh, wait, he did!!! Let's tell the waning, dying fraction of Iraqi citizens and their hate-loving imported cousins from around the region that their cause may yet succeed! If only they can stir up just a little violence, we'll be out, and they'll be back in the game. It's like a coach yelling across the field at the start of the fourth quarter to the team that's behind three touchdowns, "hey, if you guys just start tackling hard again, we'll roll over and let you guys finish the game." What a complete, total, idiot.
ORIGINAL POST (7/3/09) When you need a gentle touch...
...tap Joe "one foot in my mouth, the other in your ass" Biden to make sure everything runs smoothly. He will be in Iraq to oversee political reconciliation (really? reconciliation?! roflolwtfomg). It's not like he has a propensity for accidentally blabbing sensitive information, or anything.
Although I do have a theory on this one: Mr. Biden will be off to deal with Iraq, in Iraq, where nobody but the interpreters speaks "Biden". Which means, if the interpreters are carefully chosen, there will be something of a filter to keep the worst Biden moments from happening. It's gonna be a little weird to be an Iraqi, though, sitting there hearing Biden say something into the microphone and then looking over to the intepreter, who's looking at the other interpreter, who's nodding back at the first, with neither saying a word. A little awkward, yes, but definitely better than whatever loose-cannon Joe said actually making it to the ears of the Iraqi people.
The side benefit of all this being, of course, that Biden disappears from American politics for a little bit, giving his stateside handlers a bit of a breather from what must be a very exhausting job.
