Flatterer!

Do I need to adjust the D-List again, taking Joe Biden out of the “Running” category and moving him into “Jumpers,” or what? Republicans, forever suffering with that irritating “congeniality chromosome,” have been kind about the Democrat contenders for ‘08, but here comes Joe, loaded for bear.

On Hillary:

“Everyone in the world knows her. Her husband has used every single legitimate tool in his behalf to lock people in, shut people down. Legitimate. And she can’t break out of 30 percent for a choice for Democrats?”

On her Iraq policy:

“From the part of Hillary’s proposal, the part that really baffles me is, ‘We’re going to teach the Iraqis a lesson.’ We’re not going to equip them? Okay. Cap our troops and withdraw support from the Iraqis? That’s a real good idea.”

On John Edwards and John Kerry:

“…Perfect blow-dried candidates…”

“I don’t think John Edwards knows what the heck he’s talking about.”

“So for me, what I think you have to do is have a strategic notion. And they may have it — they are just smart enough not to enunciate it.”

On Edwards’ Iraq policy:

“…like so much Fluffernutter out there.”

On Barack Obama:

“…the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-lookin’ guy…I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

Maybe Biden can explain this one away by saying he “borrowed” the thoughts from someone else. He’s apologized, of course, and explained that he didn’t intend to offend. I, for one, am not offended because I believe discourse like this is wonderfully refreshing. I say we need even more “Fluffernutter” in our vernacular. I’m just hoping to hear the word “horsefeathers” from our side.
