Joe Biden: No. 1 priority is ‘a 3-letter word, J-O-B-S.’

The real mental midget in this presidential race is vice presidential candidate Sen. Joe Biden.

There he was two days ago in Athens, Ohio, saying:

“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.”

Imagine if Gov. Sarah Palin had said that. The Associated Press didn’t report this when it happened. It later mentioned it deep in a story about Biden’s TV appearance with Jay Leno, who asked Biden about the J-O-B-S letter count.

The AP knows if an event is mentioned late in a story, it probably won’t show up in the headline. It didn’t. For this story, the headline was “Biden: McCain ‘more angry.’”

Goofs and gaffes. But gaffes are the least of Biden’s problems. The man is a pompous goof. He knows some facts, here and there, but there’s no evidence he has the intellect or the political courage to act on those facts wisely. Give a goof information, he’ll give it back goofy.

Give a goof information, he’ll give it back goofy.

And the press will ignore it if he's a Democrat, but scream it as proof, proof he's an idiot if he's a Republican.
