I find it very hypocritical how the press and those politicians on the left would go nuts when Sarah Palin said something that was disconnected from reality. However, when Biden says things that are just as disconnected and in a far more frequent manner, no one in the mainstream press or the political left have the same reaction and embarrassment.
In other words, we can make fun of the idiotic comments made by your side but you cannot make fun of the idiotic comments made by our side. Very hypocritical.
Which gets us back to the Latex Salesman reference. In one of the most popular Seinfeld television series episodes ever aired, Jerry looks at his pal, George Constanza, after a typical series of George missteps, and declares that he would never hire Geroge as his latex salesman. After reading the following misquotes and idiocy from some current politicians, decide if you would hire them as a simple latex salesman, never mind "hiring" them to run the country:
"If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, there's still a 30% chance we're going to get it wrong." - speaking to members of the House Democratic caucus who were gathered in Williamsburg, Va., for their annual retreat, Feb. 6, 2009
Observation: I love his math, how did he so definitively get to his precise estimate of 30% with the information available?
"Folks, I can tell you I've known eight presidents, three of them intimately." Aug. 22, 2012
Observation: TMI (too much information!)
“Look at what they [Republicans] value, and look at their budget. And look what they're proposing. [Romney] said in the first 100 days, he's going to let the big banks write their own rules -- unchain Wall Street. They're going to put y'all back in chains." - speaking to a largely African-American audience in Danville, Va., Aug. 14, 2012
Observation: If a Republican would have said this with the tone that Biden said it they would be eviscerated as being a racist.
"My mother believed and my father believed that if I wanted to be President of the United States, I could be, I could be Vice President!" - campaigning in Youngstown, Ohio, May 16, 2012
Observation: Hooray! I'm number 2!
"I promise you, the President has a big stick. I promise you." - citing Theodore Roosevelt's famous quote, "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far."
Observation: Again, TMI
"This is a big f***ing deal!" - caught on an open microphone congratulating President Obama during the health care signing ceremony, Washington, D.C., March 23, 2010
Observation: Classless, degrading behavior and speech, in public, by a so-called leader of this country.
"His mom lived in Long Island for ten years or so. God rest her soul. And- although, she's- wait- your mom's still- your mom's still alive. Your dad passed. God bless her soul." - on the mother of Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen, who is very much alive, Washington, D.C., March 17, 2010
Observation: Embarrassing representative for our country.
"I would tell members of my family, and I have, I wouldn't go anywhere in confined places now. It's not that it's going to Mexico, it's you're in a confined aircraft when one person sneezes it goes all the way through the aircraft. That's me. I would not be, at this point, if they had another way of transportation suggesting they ride the subway." - providing handy tips to protect against the swine flu - interview, April 30, 2009
Observation: Real leaders do not foment panic like this.
"An hour late, oh give me a f**king break." – caught on a live microphone speaking to a former Senate colleague after arriving on Amtrak at Union Station in Washington, D.C., March 13, 2009
Observation: Again, so-called leaders do not speak like this in public.
"You know, I'm embarrassed. Do you know the Web site number? I should have it in front of me and I don't. I'm actually embarrassed." – speaking to an aide standing out of view during an interview on CBS' "Early Show," in the midst of encouraging viewers to visit a government-run Web site that tracks stimulus spending, Feb. 25, 2009
Observation: Website number? Please....
"Jill and I had the great honor of standing on that stage, looking across at one of the great justices, Justice Stewart." – mistakenly referring to Justice John Paul Stevens, who swore him in as vice president, Washington, D.C., Jan. 20, 2009
Observation: Dazed and confused in D.C.
"Look, John's last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number-one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S, jobs." - Athens, Ohio, Oct. 15, 2008
Observation: Is there any doubt our public schools are failures for the most part when the Vice President of the United States cannot count to four?
"When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened." apparently unaware that FDR wasn't president when the stock market crashed in 1929 and that only experimental TV sets were in use at that time, interview with Katie Couric, Sept. 22, 2008
Observation: I just cannot believe how inane, idiotic, and out of touch with reality and history this quote and belief is.
"Stand up, Chuck, let 'em see ya." – to Missouri state Sen. Chuck Graham, who is confined to a wheelchair, Columbia, Missouri, Sept. 12, 2008
Observation: Classless and embarrassing act.
"Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me." - speaking at a town hall meeting in Nashua, New Hampshire, Sept. 10, 2008
Observation: Although not a big fan of Hillary, I would probably agree with him on this observation.
"A man I'm proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next President of the United States — Barack America!" - at his first campaign rally with Barack Obama after being announced as his running mate, Springfield, Ill., Aug. 23, 2008
Observation: Cannot be much of a friend if you do not know your friend's name.
"A successful dump!" - explaining his whereabouts (dropping deadwood at the dump) to the reporters outside his home, Wilmington, Del., Aug. 20, 2008
Observation: TMI
"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man." – referring to Barack Obama at the beginning of the 2008 Democratic primary campaign, Jan. 31, 2007
Observation: How is this not a racist comment and attitude? And Democrats call people and citizens like me racists for disagreeing with the principles of Obama Care but do not call out Biden for this racist comment? How do other "mainstream" African-Americans feel out about this who came to fame before Obama? Are they all dumb, dirty, and ugly?
"You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.... I'm not joking." - in a private remark to an Indian-American man caught on C-SPAN, June, 2006
Observation: More TMI
“With your help we can win North Carolina. “ - speaking to Democratic voters in Virginia
Observation: More failures from our public education processes, lack of geography skills.
"I would not refer to him (President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt) as a dictator."
Observation: If Mubarak was not the prime definition of a dictator, I cannot imagine what a real dictator is.
But the Vice President is not the only one in the Washington political class who are embarrassments to our democracy. Remember the following public statement gaffes from current members of congress that we have reviewed over the past few years:
Congressman Hank Johnson of Georgia publicly stated that he was scared the island of Guam would physically flip over if too many U.S. Navy resources were stationed on the island:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs23CjIWMgA
Congressional Black Caucus members, actual members of Congress, were interviewed on camera of their opinion of Fast and Furious, the botched gun running operation that allowed heavy weaponry to get into the hands of the Mexican drug cartels. This was during the time when the operation was becoming public and ugly. As you can see, these politicians were so out of touch with a major government screw up that they confused the ATF Fast and Furious connotation with the Vin Diesel Fast and Furious motion picture:
http://dailycaller.com/2012/05/30/attendees-of-eric-holder-event-think-operation-fast-and-furious-is-a-movie-video/
Congress really has two primary responsibilities. Pass and operate a Federal government budget and identify, develop, read, and pass legislation. Apparently, a long time Congressman, John Conyers, did not see it the same way, wondering out loud at a public event why he and others in Congress had to take the time to read the Obama Care legislation before they voted on it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACbwND52rrw
These are people that are supposed to defend our borders, defend our Constitution, defend our freedom, rights, and liberties, and serve as leaders for over 300 million Americans. Instead, we get politicians, not leaders, that are foul mouthed, unaware of their surroundings and circumstances, inane, ignorant of history, ignorant of basic geology, out of touch with one of the most tragic, unlawful, and fatal government operations of all times, etc.
The saddest part of all the quotes and video clips above are that these people get reelected over and over. These are prime examples of how our political processes have been taken over and corrupted by the American political class.
If the process worked the way it was supposed to work, people that are this arrogant, ignorant of reality and out of touch with reality would never get reelected. That is why several steps from "Love My Country, Loathe My Government" need to be implemented as soon as possible to break the grip these politicians have on our political processes.
As always, Step 39 is the most important step. Step 39 would implement term limits on all Federal politicians. That way, people that think islands tip over, people that think it is not necessary to read legislation before voting it, people that are unaware of one of the biggest Federal government screw ups of all time (Fast and Furious), and people that are human gaffe machines never, ever again represent us in Congress or the executive branch of government.
I would not trust these people to be my latex salesmen never mind putting them in charge of our democracy.
