Political Humor | Joe Biden’s Hair Puts the Political Humor up to Eleven

If you vote for the Obama/Biden ticket, they only ask one sacrifice: some of your hair. Joe Biden has been mining his body for hair plugs for years now and experts claim that he reached Peak Hair about fourteen months ago.

Now, of course some of you are reading this and sighing at my cheap shots at Joe’s Hair Club for Men Vice-Presidency. To those people I ask: Do we really need another person with a vanity issue on the left side of the ticket? Look how well that worked out with John Edwards.

So you want facts. Fine.

Not only did this guy vote in favor of the Iraq War but he even offered up his infamous plan to divide Iraq into three parts which, if you remember passed in the Senate.

Barack Obama, by the way missed that vote. So does that mean he was against the plan before he chose his running mate, thus making him for the plan as of Friday?

Of course Biden wasn’t for the war before he was against the war either. (That old gag)

The Vice-Presidential Candidate did have a funny line though:

“One of the poorest members of the Senate, Biden lamented how people like him sit at the kitchen table at night worrying about how to get by in tough economic times. ‘That’s not a worry John McCain has to worry about. It’s a pretty hard experience. He will have to figure out which of the seven kitchen tables to sit at.’ “

I guess the Democratic ticket finally has their asshole. I don’t mean that he is one, just that every management team needs someone to play that role, and God knows Obama would not make it alone in a messy political campaign. Joe came streaking out of the gate Saturday putting Bush and McCain in the same sentence so many times you thought this picture was more telling then previously thought.

I’m not kidding about the asshole manager concept. Look at the last Presidency. Dick Cheney. Helllooooo! The Boston Red Sox have Larry Lucchino. Castro had Che Guevara. It almost becomes a good-cop/bad-cop routine in a sense.

Biden: “I’m gonna kick McCain’s ass if he wins!”
Obama: “Folks better vote for me because my partner here is pretty uncontrollable.”

And what the hell is the big deal about a rich person not knowing how many properties they own? That is why they have accountants.

So Obama, with his million dollar-plus home is more in touch with the common folk than someone who can’t remember how many houses they own? It must have been really rough for Barack schlepping through Harvard Law School suffering with day-old Foie Gras instead of the fresh stuff. It is no wonder he does not know constitutional law despite studying it. He was suffering from having to endure such hardships.

I ask, how can anyone concentrate on schoolwork when the lobster at dinner was lacking the traditional champagne-infused butter?

But this is not about being rich or being poor, about the haves and have-nots. It is about your hair and how much Joe Biden wants it.

“Joe Biden served me admirably as my Vice-President and will show the same dedication in the same capacity for the United States of America.”
