In view of the McCain campaign ads which have been running lately, the ones showing Biden claiming that Obama is not ready to be president and claiming that he, Biden, would be honored to run with or against McCain, one has to wonder just what sort of man would debase himself, as Joe Biden has done, just to be the VP running mate.
I imagine the Biden route to one more dismal political failure went something like this:
BO: Michelle, I can’t find anyone who is willing to be my running mate except Joe Biden. What should I do?
MO: Well, it was Biden who said you were as green as leprechaun shit, and that McCain is the best man to be president, wasn’t it?
BO: That’s right. He made me feel like shit right in front of the whole country.
MO: Then you should make him pay for it. Make him recant everything he said and tell the country that you will make a great president.
BO: Okay, that might work. I’ll give it a try. (calls Joe Biden)
JB: Hello, this is Joe Biden.
BO: Joe, I need a running mate and no one seems to want the job so I am thinking of asking you to do it. There are just a couple of things I need to clear up with you.
JB: I know what you’re going to say, Barack and I want to tell you that I am really sorry for saying that you are dumb as a box of rocks. That was just campaign bullshit…I really didn’t mean it, well I may have meant it at the time but I don’t mean it now. I think I would make a……I mean I think you would be the greatest president in the history of the country.
BO: Okay, that’s what I wanted to hear. What about all the praise you heaped on John McCain…that stuff about how you would be honored to run with him or against.
JB: Aw that, hell I was just funning. McCain is the sorriest sob who ever ran for president. I wouldn’t give him the time of day. I hardly know the asshole…I never liked John McCain.
BO: That’s good…hold on a minute, Joe. What’s that Michelle?
MO: Get some other concession out of him. You need to make him grovel a bit if he really wants to be Vice President.
BO: Okay…..oh Joe, There’s just one other thing.
JB: Anything Barack, just name it.
BO: Michelle says you have to suck my dick if I name you as my running mate.
JB: Oh sure, Barack….no problem.
