Hey, it’s an election year, maybe Joe’s last. Big Joe is going to be talking a lot. And if his latest “gaffe”— “Romney wants to let the — he said in the first hundred days, he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules, unchain Wall Street. They’re going to put you all back in chains”—didn’t entirely achieve lift-off, so what? By Biden standards, that was the Gettysburg Address. And if the Republicans were “honest”—ha!—they would simply say “We don’t know if we can kiss Wall Street’s ass harder than Obama, but we’re damn well going to try!” They can can the hysteria. Big Joe’s an old man. He’s got a right to talk. And, anyway, by my analysis, Paul “Pretty Boy” Ryan makes old Joe look like Tom Jefferson. Without all the slaves!
