Joe Biden, unfortunately for U.S., the vice president, crossed the line of decency – again. “Speaking to Philadelphia police officers Tuesday at the University of Pennsylvania, Biden slammed Republican critics who say the jobs bill is just “temporary,” underscoring measures aimed at maintaining police force levels.” (from the story in FOXNews.com: Biden Evokes Sexual, Violent Imagery Again in Push for $447 (billion) Jobs Bill).
In an angry tone, while waving an angry finger, Biden emphatically claimed: “… it’s not temporary when that 9-1-1 call comes in and a woman’s being raped … It’s not temporary to the guy whose store is being held up and has a gun being pointed to his head … That’s not temporary to that store owner. Give me a break – temporary.”
Biden went on to wish “these guys who thought it was temporary … had a notion what it’s like be(ing) on the other side of a gun or a 200-pound man standing over you telling you to submit.”
The speech, according to FOXNews, was a reiteration of a speech the previous Wednesday in Flint, Mich., where Biden claimed rapes and murders will increase if the jobs bill fails to pass Congress.
Biden is hoping that, like frightened pups running to mother for cover, those seeing themselves as likely rape and murder victims will rush to the phone and call their representatives adamantly demanding action on the jobs bill. Biden is hoping to scare the bajeebas out of folks so they’ll demand the passage of the president’s jobs bill. But, in reality, Biden is hoping to cast conservative representatives as uncaring and insensitive about rape and murder, as if the jobs bill and those violent acts really have any connection.
The only real question is whether Biden’s insanity is temporary. Of course, in Biden’s case, that’s assuming temporary is a period lasting no less than the stretch of time that begins with Joe’s first words out of the cradle and his last words when anyone cares – before November of 2012. Hopefully, temporary is also how we can look upon Joe and Barack’s time left in office.
