Joe Biden Is Our Cup Of Tea (and Coffee)

By Zamboni

We cats are weary of these fake Biden brouhahas.

They are fake. The last true verbal slip that we can remember Biden making was back in 2007, when he referred to the not-yet-nominated Barack Obama in kinda condescending terms. (And it seems to us that after three and a half years of leading the country together — including sitting in the Situation Room on the night we got Osama bin Laden — Obama and Biden have worked that out.)

All the other so-called gaffes? They were right on the money. That crack about John Roberts. Healthcare reform being a big [CENSORED] deal. Republicans putting people back in chains.

Oh, yes, the chains. We cats ask, where is the gaffe? When Republicans pass laws to prevent Americans with whom they disagree from voting, they are making those Americans second-class citizens, just as slaves were. They are in chains. Our umbrage-y friends on the other side of the aisle can call it what they like, but chains is just as apt a word as any other. Biden was right. He owes no one an apology.

The only thing more ridiculous than this flap? The idea that Meghan McCain, daughter of the man who made the worst VP pick in history, has any credibility on the subject.
