Vice President Biden gently mocks his Irish roots and family drinking problems

@#%&@?!!**##??#####--- There -- I am glad I got that off my chest !

I was going to comment but because I never liked Joe Biden I know you would not like my comment and like many of my other comments it would be deleted.

When Biden helped develop the USA Office of national Drug abuse he had a line put in that the office could only say bad things about drugs. yep he said lie to the american public. And the office has been lying since then. You can not trust our government.

Joe biden gently mocks his Irish roots, had he not been a democrat the headline would read, Biden hatefully insults his Irish roots in a fit of rage and bigotry.

Over the last ten years Joe Biden had income of $212,000 to $321,000 not counting profits on personal investments. During this time he contibuted a few hundred dollars to charity each year. Apparently Joe is happy to spend other peoples money, just not his own. I am first generation Irish, the Irish I know never failed to give to charity even though they could not afford it. Joe Biden...what a prince of a man.

You mean the way he butchers the language,that he DOESN'T drink?

I think the moron ought imbibe a bit, might help him a little!!!

A non-story, of course, but it brings up the issue of stereotyping. We should not stereotype "all" Irish as being shanty alcoholics with bad teeth and that angry aura of negativity, just as the Irish should not stereotype "all" Americans as being fat, dumb, loud and arrogant. Posters on this site have been guilty of that in both directions. For the Irish that have stereotyped all 40 million of us Irish-Americans, the guilty parties I've noticed here are CIARADEXY, STEVENSTAR and BYTHEBAY. In the case of BYTHEBAY, he likes to use the word "bigot" a lot. My goodness! Read what you write before calling people bigots! Pot, meet kettle!

I think Joe needs to toss a few and then maybe he may not have so many gaffs in his speeches. Actually, he should just take the train back to Delaware and stay there!!!
