Here Comes Fire Tongue!

TAGS: Joe Biden, John McCain, Barack Obama, Election 08

You filthy mongrels may be surprised, but I believe Joe Biden was the best possible choice Barack Obama could have made. This is pretty simple reasoning, which is why it seems to be confusing so many Republicans. Besides Dick Cheney, who was given a spectacular amount of power by the testicle-less Bush, Vice Presidents really don’t do shit. Their most important function is to make the tie-breaking vote if the Senate is deadlocked. Other than that, not much. Sure, they go around the world, talking to people and have their own little agendas, but overall, pretty meaningless. They are just waiting for the big guy to die or for eight years to pass so they can run for president.

With that said, you may be wondering why I think Biden is an awesome choice. Well, here you go.



That's better than porn. The man’s tongue is a weapon to fear. Unleashing Biden on the campaign is like creating a non-stop, sound bite machine. He is concise, brutal and usually dead-on. You know how you always wish some politician would cut the shit and call somebody out on being a douchebag? Biden’s the guy who actually does that.



McCain is about to come face to face with an actual “straight talker,” which will contrast greatly with his time-worn mind, constant bullshit yammering and horrific speaking ability. Usually, candidates pick a knob who won’t upstage them in the talky department. Just take a look at Joe Lieberman, Al Gore and John Edwards. Yawn town. And totally ineffective on the campaign trail.

The amusing aspect of this choice is watching the Republicans get huge hard ons for all the “material” they have against Biden.


REPORTER: Rush Limbaugh today (sic) said this on the radio, he said, "I really hope it's Biden. We don't want to say that too loud, but I really do hope that it's Joe Biden because we've got a mountain of archival audio on Joe Biden, plus the arrogance factor times two, with Biden and The Messiah would just be delicious."


Wow, great call. Seriously, please do. Go at Fire Tongue with everything you’ve got and take the attention off Obama. Please divide the focus of your attacks and do it against the man who can wipe the shit-eating grin off your face with one comment. By the way Rush, you are a four-time divorced, millionaire drug addict who takes trips to Puerto Rico with bottles full of Viagra. Keep speaking for the common man, though. Maybe Paris Hilton can tell us what's up as well. Just thought I’d throw that in for no reason.

McCain is already running an ad in which Biden says he’d be honored to run against Grandpa McCain and compliments him. Genius. The tape is from 2004, setting up a Biden, “Well, he’s fallen off quite a bit in the past four years.” McCain is the candidate who has far to fall, as most people still don’t realize he is an old man, slowly losing his ability to think and constantly making embarrassing gaffs. Now, here comes an “old friend” who is going to make the case that McCain isn’t up to the job. And he’s going to make it well.


I want someone above average. I want someone who knows what they’re dealing with. And it surprises me that John didn’t understand the complexities of the power struggle going on in Iran right now.

John McCain remains wedded to the Bush Administration’s myopic view of a world defined by terrorism. … He would continue to allow a tiny minority to set the agenda for the overwhelming majority. It is time for a total change in Washington’s worldview.


Only a fucking idiot would run an ad in which Fire Tongue praises McCain, because a severe verbal beat-down will follow. Severe. To have an ad with Biden praising McCain will create a false impression. People are now sitting around thinking, “Oh, Biden likes McCain.” They will then be surprised by the two months of verbal attacks McCain takes from his old buddy. It’s a dumb tactic. Now, using clips of Biden attacking Obama is smart, but you can be sure Biden can talk his way out of that.

So, what’s Biden’s voting record like? Who gives a shit. People vote for the top of the ticket. Sure, you can quote my “Fuck Joe Biden" article all you want. But that would make you one of the least understanding and dumbest motherfuckers on the planet, because those facts are all relevant for a man running for president. Guess what? Joe Biden is running for VICE PRESIDENT. See the difference? Guess who doesn’t set the agenda? He’ll have his own little projects, probably Amtrak, that he focuses on. Overall, he will have one function in the campaign -- to undermine John McCain. Who better than an old friend to do the job?

I’m sure Fire Tongue have an input on foreign policy too, because he is one of the most knowledgeable people in our country when it comes to foreign affairs. His deft ability to make complex foreign policy issues understandable will be devastating to watch during the vice presidential debate and whenever McCain opens his hate hole on the campaign trail. Oh, and he has a son going to Iraq. Someone on the ticket actually has a personal stake in the war. Imagine how that will go.

This is the best choice Obama could have made. By far.

I personally cannot wait for the VP debates. Complete with popcorn, and Dolby Digital Surround Sound so I can hear the tongue lashing from any corner of the room like I'm really at the debate.

...ok, maybe just the popcorn, but I can always cut the volume up really, really loud.

So's McCain. Incoherent, and a joke. Can't remember who's the President of whatever country is of Topic, can't remember how many houses he owns, probably longs for the days of Communist Russia so he can push that little red button...

But, you know...whatever.

That's some seriously in-depth political analysis there. Seriously, how would one counter such pure innuendo? I imagine this is how Alan Colmes feels everyday.

It's an ingenius good cop/bad cop thing. This will allow Obama to stay positive and on message while his running mate does the dirty work.

The Biden pick makes me consider actually voting for Obama. I've been a Biden fan for a while. He's one of the least affluent members of the Senate, which carries the implication that he's there because he wants to serve. He has overcome personal tragedy, he's a solid family man, he is intelligent, he speaks his mind and he usually looks like he enjoys what he does.

And, yes, he will dominate whoever McCain chooses as VP, which I'm betting is Romney.

While Joe Biden wasn't my first choice as Obama's best running mate, seeing him in this context & knowing what I do about his record/values makes me all warm & tingly inside.

I'd love to see him push for a huge revamp of Amtrak. We're in an energy crisis, and we need better transportation options. I've ridden Amtrak, and I've also ridden public rail transit in the greater Tokyo area. I KNOW we can do better, and I am so glad that light rail is getting a big push out here in Washington. The local projects here should be done or nearly finished when I move back into the area, and I will use them as much as possible to show my support.

Welcome to the team, Joe Biden!

I like Biden. I always have. He's not considered a "joke" at all. He's been the head of the foreign relations committee for decades and is seen as one of the foremost foreign policy experts in the Senate. And he's smart. And funny. And direct. He was a good pick.

Honestly, I really like him on most of his policy and legislative actions, and I've been arguing from that angle since he was picked. But you're right that very little of that really matters (Cheney notwithstanding). Still, I think it's sort of important to at least think about those things, lest we end up with another Cheney someday.

Altogether a great article. I'm looking forward to the VP debates, and the rest of the fall election season.

What pray tell would you know about the "political realm?" You can't confirm through normal dialogue that you come from this planet and you expect us to believe that you possess some unique insight into the perspectives of the political enviro? Laughable at best.

I remember seeing him during the waterboarding hearings...laying into...one of those revolving door heads of something that W goes through like coke dealers...just laying into the guy about torture being the worst possible thing for our nation because it erodes our position and put every single soldier at risk. I thought the guy was going to piss himself. (I realize I probably come off as completely ignorant right now, but I was excited when I heard Joe Biden.) Now please, Chris Dodd for attorney general....this guy spent the better part of a year opposes the FISA bill and his platform was restoring the constitution...Obama fucked up big time on the FISA bill so I think he needs to fix it. Dodd can help.

I think Dodd would be good at AG, except that it leaches another senator from Congress. I admire him. I'd also like to see Bill Richarson as Secty of State.

I need to dig further into his politics, but any guy that calls the president on his bullshit and actually says "bullshit" on a national news program is my kind of guy.
