WASHINGTON, D.C.—According to sources in the Biden campaign, the presidential candidate is on pins and needles waiting to see who it is he picked to run for vice president on his ticket.
Campaign aides say it’s been Biden’s most anticipated event since he found out he was running for president a few weeks ago.
A reporter asked Biden if he could hint about his VP pick during a brief interlude from his stay in the basement, where he was allowed to come upstairs to get some snacks.
“Oh boy — I hope it’s a real classy broad,” he said as he drank straight from the milk jug. “I bet I picked somebody good and smart. A chick with class and style. You know, in my day, dames were dames and guys were guys. None of this ‘guys becoming dolls’ and ‘dolls becoming guys’ stuff. We would go down to the hop and do the mashed potato. You know, there’s lots of good nnnn– nutrients and stuff in potatoes. Potato is a funny word.”
“Po – ta – to.”
Go here to read the rest. Biden painted himself into a small corner when he said that his Veep would be a woman of color. Let’s look at the top candidates:
Senator Tammy Duckworth-Lost her legs serving in Iraq and since then has been a Democrat political hack in Illinois. Half Thai. Notably stupid even for an Illinois pol. Has three cards: Race, Sex and Veteran and plays them all the time. Highly obnoxious.
Senator Kamala Harris-Began her career as Speaker of the California General Assembly Willie Brown’s mistress. Not stupid and highly ambitious. Her one true God is political expediency. Raked Biden over the coals during the Democrat debate, admittedly an easy thing to do. Demonstrated little power to attract votes during her run. Makes the obnoxious Duckworth look like a people person.
Stacey Abrams-Too busy being Governor of Georgia in the alternate reality she clearly is a resident of.
Congressman Karen Bass-Recently announced she is not a communist, which considering her record is probably a lie, unless the Communists were too moderate for her. A long time ardent supporter of the Castro regime in Cuba. Wave bye bye to Florida Joe if you pick her.
Susan Rice-the swampiest of swamp creatures. Never held elective office. Scion of a highly connected family in the Federal bureaucracy. UN ambassador and National Security Advisor under Obama. Up to her hips in the attempt by the Obama administration to target President-Elect Trump, I suspect she will be chosen as the safest choice by Biden. Conspiracy theorists will have a field day with her.
Dark Horse-Michele Obama. Biden’s campaign would pick her in a heart beat, but she has said she has no interest in it.
Darker Horse-Hilary Clinton. I suspect that the people surrounding Biden would not wish him to commit Arkancide.
I’m sticking with over-the-Hillary for VP under the 3 strikes rule. Susan Rice is just not as good a liar as Hillary.
Please, please pick Gretchen…
@DJH, agreed! But having a black heart probably isn’t enough to qualify her as “Black” in the jargon of the woke. Too bad, she would be a fun one to watch.
DJH, Maybe Gretchen can rearrange her family tree to be Native American and Michigan will be liberated.
I’m thinking maybe Michelle O. will change her mind. Very tempting for her ego…1st female VP, even better after about 3- 6 months 1st female president. So many firsts for those who care. Barack could be a shadow president.
