U.S. Vice President Joe Biden will travel to Iowa next month to speak at a “steak fry” fundraiser for U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin. His appearance at the September 15 event – one of several visits he’s made to early primary states – signals his ongoing interest in a presidential campaign in 2016.

Biden – who ran unsuccessfully for president in 1988 and 2008 – would face an uphill climb in the event he runs.

For starters, Hillary Clinton is the clear favorite to capture the next Democratic presidential nomination – and she will likely enjoy the support of U.S. President Barack Obama’s network after Bill Clinton agreed to enthusiastically embrace Obama’s 2012 reelection bid.

Biden is also 70 years old – and prone to frequent bouts of “foot-in-mouth” disease. And he’s a groper.

Obviously anything can happen in politics, but at this point Joe Biden seems highly unlikely to even make it out of his own party’s primary election …

Yep. But if the Repuklicrats don’t turn their BS around real quick, she will be the next POTUS.

Not unless you’re referring to those darkey fixtures that used to adorn front yards. You know, the ones dressed as jockeys and holding a brass ring for guests (or the sheriff) to tie their horses to. (I know, bad grammar – but I’m in a hurry)….

Holy Simoly! That is clever! By the way, does anybody know what happened to the folks who used the “shotgun” defense? Seems like there were two stories – a man, and a woman?

Biden is every bit and more the laughingstock as Palin, and he has managed to remain one heartbeat away from the Presidency. With a right wing dominated media. I guess Sarah would survive too….

You’re making the assumption that the Veep’s heart is actually beating. I think he was actually embalmed by an ancient Egyptian embalmer, you know the guys who shove a spoon up the nose of the dead to get all that gooey grey porridge out of the skull while going to great lengths to save all the other important organs… Bak-her Pharoh Obama and Mummy Biden, Bak-her!

Biden in Iowa—
1. It’s great to be here in South Carolina!

2. I accept your nomination to be president of the United States.

3. Everybody’s says Ron Paul is such a smarty pants. Well let me tell you
something Mr. Paul: You don’t need to be that smart to be vice president!

4. Some people wrongly suggest I’m senile and have started forgetting things!

5: It’s time now for a moment of silence in memory of one of the greatest football players of all time, Mr. Red Grange.

6. I’ll never believe it was Yoko Ono who broke up the Beatles. I’ll just
never believe it.

Democrats may be stupid enough to let this guy win the nomination. Obama was dumb enough to make this guy VP twice, so it wouldn’t surprise me. Republicans probably won’t do any better with their candidate.

Actually it was a brilliant move on Oshitforbrains part. He’s (biden) got big friends in congress. Makes for a nice long honey moon. Never underestimate the power of a buffoon holding a grenade launcher.
