Joe Biden fast becoming most influential VP in history

Biden is probably the most influential VP ever and maybe he'll go one step further in 2016. To play the devils advocate maybe Obama would be his VP.Anglo is hurt !!

To Eschetic: I agree with your words below about honoring 'a good speech by repeating the ideas or even some of the words without the attribution you would make in an academic paper.' Good yellow dog Democrats like myself are prone to repeat FDR's comment, 'The only thing we have to fear is fear itself' without redundant citing of the source. Any dullard should know where the credit for that one goes without being reminded each and every time. Although I'm fond of a short pause followed by this personal ammendment - '... except the hellborn political rightwingers.' Anybody who thinks I'm not relishing this GOP disaster to the fullest has another think coming.

I apologize for the unintended double entry below. Hold that 'submit' button down too long and see what happens?!

VP Biden is the only public figure I ever think of in terms of what his mom called him: "Joey". I absolutely love the man and celebrate his lifetime of hard work and public service. The teabaggers posting below should've heard my favorite comment by a Pulitzer-prize winning author and educator on Bill Moyers' show, describing GOP reaction to their election loss: "I never saw so many people look so slapped." Hell's bells, as Joey would say: they deserve it. I hope every teabagger hate junkie chokes on his own bile while we spend this wonderful day basking in the glow of well-earned victory. Take THAT, you misbegotten sons (and daughters) of perdition!

Thanks to "Tom Mo" for starting Inauguration Day with a great laugh! NO ONE withdraws from a Presidential Race (regardless of some shallow reporting at the time) because they honor a good speech by repeating the ideas or even some of the words without the attribution you would make in an academic paper. With three electoral votes in tiny Delaware, Biden was not going to be a finalist THAT year. Times and positions have changed; at the same time, thanks for proving that radical right wing haters do occasionally have a sense of humor - even if it's a perversely distorted one.

That's one scary headline!

HOW DO YOU SPELL POLITICAL SKANK?? BIDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice try Eschetric. Biden was 45 years old when he had to withdraw from the 1988 Presidential race because he plagarized a speech of British MP Neil Sinnock. Biden is a conman.

You have deleted my response to Esehetic. Spiked it. Is that the Modus Operandi of Irish Central when you disagree with a comment?

Admittedly, the evil Mr. Cheney (the first Vice President since Aaron Burr to nearly kill a man during his term - Burr in a duel, not a drunken hunting trip) may have been more influential during his time as VP, but former Senator Biden's career in office has produced and continues to produce a FAR more positive legacy. The ignorant haters of the extreme right wing will cling to his college plagiarism scandal of more than 50 years ago and his occasional malapropisms to degenerate the man, but REAL Republicans respect a leader who may be the best qualified Vice President to BE President since former Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Baines Johnson. We may not agree with either of them on policy, but it is foolish in the extreme to think they are fools as great as those who despise them. All these continued attacks on a great Vice President merely expose how terrified the losers who ran the last failed Republican attempt to snow the voters are to have to campaign against him.

Seanomelb/CC Dara Kelly On the "mastery of Joe's silvery tongue." Joe: Calls on Sen.Chuck Graham to "stand up," despite the fact that he is in a wheelchair. Joe: Says "J-O-B-S" is a four letter word. Joe: On TV claims that FDR got on TV in 1929 to speak about the Stock Market crash. FDR was not President and TV was not a household item in 1929. Joe: On the mother of Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen who is very much alive (3/17/10). "His mom lived in(sic) Long Island for ten years or so, God rest her soul. And-although,she-wait-your mon's still- your mom's still alive? Your dad passed. God rest her soul." Joe: "A man I'm proud to call my friend friend. A man who will be the next President of the United States- Barack America. Joe: "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and clean and a nice-looking guy." Need I go on? Silvery tongue, my arse The man is an eegit!

seanomelb-You are an aussie now son, comment on your own country.

One couldn't get any lower than the knuckle dragging teaparty racist cretins.

The Vice Presidunce, slo Joe Biden, is a plagiarist and a proven liar. But he is the Bees Knees to the present crop of low information voters in the United States. Dara Kelly being one with Irish Central acting in concert.
