The Obama campaign keeps claiming that Mitt Romney did not really show up last Wednesday. Apparently it was ManBearPig, which is why Al Gore decided to raise his voice with the altitude conspiracy.

I wonder if the real Joe Biden will show up tonight. Biden, who considers himself an expert on all things foreign policy, famously admitted to opposing Obama going after Osama. He’s like the Vanilla Ice of foreign policy masquerading as the real Slim Shady.

He has, in fact, a well documented history of uttering wrong prescriptions more wrongly than any wrong person to ever utter anything wrong in the history of all that is wrong with the world.

Including this one:

“At the Tuesday-morning meeting with committee staffers, Biden launches into a stream-of-consciousness monologue about what his committee should be doing, before he finally admits the obvious: ‘I’m groping here.’ Then he hits on an idea: America needs to show the Arab world that we’re not bent on its destruction. ‘Seems to me this would be a good time to send, no strings attached, a check for $200 million to Iran’ Biden declares. He surveys the table with raised eyebrows, a How do ya like that? look on his face.”

That would be Michael Crowley writing at The New Republic on October 22, 2001.

Yes, you read that right. Joe Biden wanted to give Iran $200 million with no strings attached. Put more directly — to combat a Sunni terrorist group, Joe Biden wanted to give a Shiite nation a bunch of money that would undoubtedly be redirected to fund Shiite terrorist backed groups.

But he’s a f—ing genius that Joe Biden is. Remember dividing Iraq into three parts?
