Everyone in the fringe of their lives has a Joe Biden. They are the likable enough, good natured enough person who always has something to say in some story or in making something up he thinks he knows.
Always dominating a conversation, they are tolerable for a few moments on a street, but take these people golfing and they are cheating on their score, take them fishing and they are fudging in how long a fish is to keep or they are forgetting their wallet to pay for drinks.
It is at that point you start listening to what they really say and you find out what kind of kooks they really are as they sound like a Moveon.org page in the brilliant stupidity of George W. Bush.
In the latest Biden fiasco in betraying American security, the honest reality is Joe Biden can not help himself. See when Aaron Burr Biden is "revealing" information that is about his own security, it never occurs to him that he has just put himself and Barack Obama in mortal danger.
I will lay out the scenario which brought this about.
Aaron was trotting about the Naval Observatory and some kid stationed there thought like a dolt that he was dealing with professional Dick Cheney, even though this twerp voted for Obama.
So the twerp in uniform all excited starts showing the curious Joe the bunker for his security. Joe though is not hearing a word about security. Joe is hearing about the guy who is 10 times the man and 1000 times the intellect that Joe Biden is in Dick Cheney.
VP Cheney has been landing knock out punches on Obama non stop since January and it is pissing off Biden.
Biden doesn't want a thing to do with Cheney policy, but the problem is with Leon Panetta and Gen. Patraeus, Barack Obama is starting much to the chagrin of liberals, implementing as this blog predicted more advanced Bush policies.
Make no mistake, Barack Obama has the same weakness inside of hisself in attacking George W. Bush, but in the past weeks a transformation has occurred. This all started with Richard Holbrooke went and talked to the Bush Generals who bitch slapped Holbrooke all the way back to Washington.
He in turn advised Hillary Clinton who does know foreign policy enough to agree that winning is winning and Bush won the war.
Added to this is the professional Gen. Jones and the real key to this in Director Panetta who has about absolute sway now over Barack Obama. This is why Obama has quit acting like a dink 24/7 concerning George W. Bush and is keeping his mouth shut.
Where Brzezinski could not control Obama and Axelrod could only program the teleprompter, Panetta has actually caused Obama with the Generals to act American in this one area of policy.
This though is not the case for Mr. Biden. The same weaknesses of fear which drive him are the ones which have him not thinking of security, but how he can take a cheap shot at Dick Cheney.
The scenario was simple. Joe got the bunker tour, rolled his eyes, made some smart "A" remark which twerp in a uniform grinned at.
Joe thought, "This is great comedy stuff", and goes on to tell his hirelings who hate Cheney too and think Aaron Burr is the man, because they work for him.
Joe gets all these people who are idiots laughing, because they are on the payroll and then shows up at the Gridiron. Now in that period of time, Dick Cheney just clobbered Obama again, so Joe stands around without adult supervision acting like a President and unloads with the biggest news he has which is secret and adds the punchline that had the office dweebs chuckling in, "Yeah and now we know why that crazy Cheney policy came about, because his people were all in a hole under ground".
Now Eleanor Cliff, does that nasal thing which sounds like she is drowning that is supposed to be a laugh as she hates anything American, but even in her mind she starts ticking things off that this is a really stupid thing for Biden to be making known to the entire press corp.
FOX runs with it as other puppy press tries to ignore this immense story in covering up one more thing for Obama and Biden in their list of catastrophes.
This though is what is disturbing concerning Joe Biden. He would be fine if he was the loud mouth dock worker drinking his 6th beer in a bar or that strange cranberry farmer who thinks that he can hear the radio when it is off if he listens really hard.
Biden though is someone a heartbeat away from the presidency. He reacts in pettiness, instead of prudence to the extent that he not only puts himself in danger, but he puts Barack Obama in danger.
It would be one thing if it was just these two deluded individuals playing suicidal tag, but the problem is if their people keep leaking security information they are going to inspire some attempts on them which will get Secret Service people harmed and most like themselves.
That will mean the American public will once again scream for 9 11 justice which means a war, unless someone like Pelosi is able to dig up some conspiracy theory for Olbermann to run with blaming some "right winger" who listens to Rush Limbaugh for political gain.
America does not need that.
Joe Biden is the type of person who would be ok to have a beer with on a hot day. He though would drive you up the wall if you had to be around this guy for hours on end. He is in the process though of putting America on a colliding course of tactical strikes in response to someone making attempts on the executive for the things he is under compulsion revealing.
This needs to be addressed by Barack Obama in an authoritative way. Obama I don't believe is man enough to deal with Biden. This is going to have to fall to someone like Leon Panetta and some other thumper with Mr. Obama setting there with Hillary Clinton in a precise message of:
"Mr. Biden, your mouth has been an embarassment in the intelligence you have brought onto this Obama campaign and administration. Your telling the world a nuclear incident would challenge Barack Obama, to mouthing off about Chief Justice Roberts to your current deliberate leaking of national security issues which places the entire executive, WILL STOP NOW.
This is your one and final warning Mr. Biden. You make one more mistake and you will tender your resignation immediately to be replaced. Do not think your illegal work in Lawrence Sinclair will save you nor give you leverage against Mr. Obama. This is the adults now who will back Mr. Obama and you will find out the legal extent you will suffer without a pardon from Mr. Obama.
Now stay on your prepared script or you will be replaced with Mrs. Clinton."
That will not stop Joe Biden, but make him pout and he will make some other horrid statement in a few months as he can not help it. It will though put the line in the sand preparing him for replacement for "medical reasons" which can be his cover.
Joe Biden is disturbing and he is a disturbed person by the very fact in order to attack someone who is beating him silly, he actually placed himself and Mr. Obama in jeopardy.
That is a mental illness which belongs nowhere near atomic warheads nor leadership in America.
