Biden: QVC pitchman

I've often suspected Obama chose Biden as his second in command because he wanted to be sure his vice president never upstaged him: as a narcissist who always likes the camera on himself, Obama didn't think of what was best for the country, but rather what was most beneficial for himself politically. Unfortunately, Biden seems to be upstaging Obama in a negative way. Every time he opens his mouth, something ridiculous comes out. Though the MSM may say, "Oh, that's just JOE," It's hard to imagine such excuses being made for a Republican of like position. Read over at NY Post:

If the Obama administration wanted someone with little credibility to lose, who will say anything without a hint of shame or compunction, whose mouth habitually outruns the facts and common sense, it found its man.

Biden is still hawking his recovery summer, even as GDP growth slows to a crawl, and he'll still tout the marvels of the stimulus even if we dip into negative territory again later this year. He makes the late, great pitchman Billy Mays look restrained and rhetorically scrupulous by comparison.
