Look, Joe Biden's a nice guy and about to be VP, but...

December 21, 2008 |  9:44 pm

Look, the voters have spoken and Jumpin' Joe Biden is about to become the first vice president after the man he calls the most dangerous vice president in our nation's history.

Yes, to qualify to live in the VP's house Biden did acquirLook, here's Vice president-elect Joe Bidene a pet dog, although he bought a purebred instead of adopting a shelter dog, a move that is good for the breeder but bad for political PR.

But Biden had already taken in a stray cat. So, look, he's not all bad. No, instead of Hawaii, Biden's going to Wilmington or somewhere for the holidays. 

Look, like a few million others awaiting the football games, we watched Biden on the Sunday morning talk show "This Week" and he's a good talker. We grant him that.

Look, you don't spend 36 years, or 77% of Barack Obama's entire life, in the U.S. Senate without learning to talk gooder than many, even if you are from the most irrelevant state except for maybe Rhode Island. (And North Dakota, except for all the ICBM's parked there.)

But, look, something seemed slightly strange, a little off as Biden talked on. And on. Look, we tried to figure it out unsuccessfully.

So we turned where everyone turns online when puzzled, over to ExtremeMortman.

And look what we found!

As Howard says, God bless him. But, look, Jay Carney or someone's gotta work with this guy.

Because, look, if he keeps saying "Look" at the start of each sentence in public, his popularity rating is gonna be lower than the really dangerous guy he's succeeding in eight weeks, never mind eight years. You can see a video of his ABC interview here.

Or you can watch news video of a double bus crash in Seattle just below here. The crash one is a little more exciting. Look for yourself.

If Sen Biden does not commit an act of treason while in office, he will be unquestionably a better vice President than Dick "expose our secret agents" Cheney, the great American traitor of the Bush administraion. Let treason be Cheney's legacy.
