| VDH on Biden |
| 2008-09-11 |
| Biden may be arrogant and vain, but he has an odd charm as everyman's nightmare when we root for him not to say something embarrassing, know that when his eyes start spinning he will and can't stop—and know that we will end up either not taking it too seriously or feeling bad for him that he did. I have heard a lot of conservatives rattle off all the reasons why Biden is duplicitious, a bully, and often mean-spirited—before ending up with an inexplicable sigh, "But I sort of like Joe Biden." Even weirder—I sort of do too, but don't know quite why either. |

| #5 I've read he's a well-liked and well-respected lecturer at whichever law school got him. |

| #3 "But I sort of like Joe Biden." Not me. He reminds me of a slimy used car sales-man. Being on the same planet with him is too close. |

| #2 Dumbest man in the Senate Now that's one hell of a competition. Reminiscent of Monty Python's Upper Class Twit of the Year skit. |

| #1 Ah..I sort of like Stupid Joe too, probably because I feel a bit sorry for the dumbest man in the Senate. |
