    1. Anacreon   13 years ago

      This reminds me of Biden-

      "Whatta Dipshit"
      -- Wing-Ding

  2. o3   13 years ago

    bet joe would be a great [dRInKinG] buddy !

    1. joshua corning   13 years ago

      He would have also made a better president then Obama.

      ...

      Plus the adds bonus that comedians and late night shows would actually have the balls to make jokes about him....you know cuz he is white.

  3. joshua corning   13 years ago

    OK WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?!

    Why are you guys recycling videos from years ago?

    1. Jerry on the road   13 years ago

      I guess because they're still current.

      1. joshua corning   13 years ago

        No all their current vids are in HD. (Welch got some greys pocking out of the scruffy red beard.)

        This is so 2009.

        1. Jerry on the road   13 years ago

          But then again, Biden still has the same hairplugs....

        2. darius404   13 years ago

          2012 is the new 2009.

        3. Archduke PantsFan   13 years ago

          This is the most important election ever.
          EVER!

  4. Eduard van Haalen   13 years ago

    "we may have to update our Real Men of Genius commercial"

    Then why don't you? You could make it a bit more substantive.

    "Today we salute you, Mr. Republicans-will-enslave-us-all let's-not-kill-Bin-Laden guy..."

    1. Ska   13 years ago

      "Where others might have seen a senator who was running for president, you pointed out that he was articulate and bright and clean and nice-looking guy - almost unheard of qualities amongst black men."

    2. joshua corning   13 years ago

      You could make it a bit more substantive.

      IDK Nick's narration of the vid is damn good writing.

    3. Ted S.   13 years ago

      "we may have to update our Real Men of Genius commercial"

      Another casualty of September 11: the original campaign was "Real American Heroes", but heaven forfend you use the word "hero" ironically after September 11.

  5. wingnutx   13 years ago

    Do it.

  6. sage   13 years ago

    Does not compute.

  7. Dunphy (the real one)   13 years ago

    it could be worse.

    submitted for your consideration.

    Lieutenant Joe Biden... SWAT TEAM COMMANDER!

    1. Jerry on the road   13 years ago

      No more dog shootings!

      *ducks*

      1. Dunphy (the real one)   13 years ago

        yea, because he'd miss

        and shoot the CAT.

        and THAT is clearly uncalled for.

        waste of a good bullet

  8. Archduke PantsFan   13 years ago

    I can't believe I missed the 200th Anniversary of the fall of Detroit.
    http://www.historyofwar.org/ar.....troit.html

    1. Brutus   13 years ago

      And here it is, falling all over again, this time with nary a shot fired. Well, at least by a foreign soldier.

    2. Brett L   13 years ago

      So we tried to give it away and the Canadians wouldn't keep it. Dang.

      1. LTC(ret) John   13 years ago

        Lets renew the offer while they are distracted with the upcoming NHL lockout or somesuch!

        1. Archduke PantsFan   13 years ago

          well we are paying for the new bridge.

    3. Xenocles   13 years ago

      The fall of Detroit was like four years ago dude.

  9. Dunphy (the real one)   13 years ago

    "...sometimes it is very easy to imagine[Joe Biden]at the mental hospital, dressed in stained white PJs, standing on a card table and explaining how the shortage of lime Jell-O is "literally the greatest outrage to be visited on mankind" since the orderlies took away his fern." - Jonah Goldberg

    1. Romulus Augustus   13 years ago

      LOL

  10. shazhi   13 years ago

    thank you http://www.louisvuittonen.com

  11. Mike M.   13 years ago

    Joe Biden: the best life insurance policy a sitting president has ever had in history.
