I thought this meme peaked with Michelle Bachmann. Until I got to Summer's Eve.

Doesn't Biden do this all by himself?

30 seconds of this is funnier than 10 seasons of "Friends".

I wrote VP Biden a letter. (Self-link)

His response nailed the concerns in my letter, so I believe it was actually read.

I don't really think Biden needs videos like this. He says stupid stuff all on his own. I've kind of always admired this about him.

7 seconds of this is funnier than any random 45 minute set of any Alice Cooper concert.

Biden, as a human being and not a pod-person/cyborg, says things that he actually believes and tries to respond to the questions he's asked and not a pre-programmed set of PR talking points. If that means he fudges it sometimes, that still puts him ahead of almost everyone else in my book.

I used to live in Delaware. Biden's well-liked there for a damned good reason.

This is a big fucking deal.

Nothing against Joe Biden, but that's my favorite of these so far- it oddly came across as the most lucid BLR, in terms of narrative coherence. Most of these are amusing, but as a series of complete non-sequitor phrases; either the dubber is getting much better, or Biden lends himself unintentionally well to making extended, sexually charged monologues of bad lip-reading.

Literally.

Wasn't this whole idea started by George H.R.H.W. Bush, with his self-inflicted BLR?

I don't know if this is a personal failing on my part, but the voice-over guy's voice just doesn't sound funny enough to me.

Biden, as a paid prostitute, says things that please his paymasters, the trial lawyers and union brown-shirts.

This may even trump the Michelle Bachmann BLR, which was pretty stellar. Only problem is that Biden, in real life, actually says shit that makes as much sense as the video.

Union brown-shirts?

The collars are blue, joe lisboa.

I guess that bothers some folks, then.

I'm searching for non-hysterical similarities between an orginization of blue collar workers that uses collective action to gain leverage with employers and a Nazi paramilitary group. None immediately come to mind.
