Gotta thank VP Joe Biden for injecting some of his peerless comic idiocy into what was otherwise a very depressing day for the future generations of whatever half-baked America he and President Barack Obama will be leaving. By now, virtually everybody in the world with a TV or computer has seen Biden introduce Obama at the signing ceremony for the government takeover of health care.
It was supposed to be the triumphant moment of Obama’s administration, the moment the eyes of the world would behold nothing but the greatness of The Chosen One’s power to remake America.
And surely all of his acolytes will try to make sure we remember it as only that. But we won’t be able to help remembering Joe telling Obama, “This is a big (expletive) deal.”
Way to go, Joe. In the grand tradition of transformative presidents, we had The New Deal. And now we have the Big (Expletive) Deal.
