Is Joe Biden an Alcoholic?
By PoliPundit ~ October 30th, 2009 @ 7:06 pm
Video of Biden at a campaign rally last year:
Biden singing:
Plus, he drank non-alcoholic beer at the “Beer Summit,” and has a history of alcoholism in his family.
I don’t think alcoholism is a disqualifier for the presidency; George W. Bush is a recovering alcoholic. But, if Biden is indeed an alcoholic, he needs to confront the disease, admit he has a problem, and take steps to improve his spiritual health so that the need to drink doesn’t overcome him.

OTOH, we’d be a lot better off if we’d disqualified Bush.

We’ll have to wait until he has a few drinks, shoots a friend in the face and then attempts to cover it up before the truth is revealed.

I’m scared.
Then again, the unqualified clown we have now, scares me too.

Dede whatever the hell her last name is,dropped out! Will it help Hoffman? I would assume so,but I also thought she and the Democrat would split the liberal vote.

It’s too late for it to help Hoffman, it can only hurt him at this point. Yes, Scuzzywildebeast is a lefty kook and would have split the lefty vote. No conservative would vote for that kook, the ACORN-endorsed candidate. By dropping out, she frees the kooks to go over and vote for the other kook.

Hoff wins EASILY next Tue.
Won’t even be close.
VA will be a bloodbath for the socialists, up and down the ticket.
NJ is the only close one.

The best thing about Dede’s withdrawal is that it’s a repudiation of Newt.
See “New York Republicans Just Don’t Get It!,” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=1281.
Hopefully, they and the RNC will get it when Hoffman wins in a landslide on Tuesday!

Winston Churchill was famously and frequently Drunk- in fact, Hitler was the Tee-totaller.
My all time favorite was when Lady Astor (a frequent sparring opponent of Churchill’s) told him “Winston, if you were my husband, I would poison your coffee!”
His response?
“…and if you were my wife, madam- I would drink it.”

Say It Ain’t So, Joe Biden!
There’s been an ugly rumor floating around Washington for a while now, namely that Vice President Joe Biden is a drunk.
Not to make light of the serious disease that is alcoholism but, if true, it would explain quite a bit about his antics and gaffes during last year’s campaign and since he assumed the vice presidency in January.
Of course his boss, Barack Obama, is D.C.’s resident Gaffe King. That’s not a result of being tipsy but because he’s just Obama.
He is so reliant on his crutch, Mr. Teleprompter, that without it he tends to say stupid things such as claiming he had campaigned “in all 57 states” and being unable to speculate on the moment of conception because it “was above my pay grade.”
Post-election his most famous, and insensitive, goof was ridiculing Special Olympians on Leno.
Not that any of the gaffe twins’ numerous examples of foot-in-mouth disease get any significant play in the mass media, except for the Leno remark which was made on national television.
If covered at all, their flubs and screw ups are soon buried, never to see the light of publicity again, whereas George Bush’s numerous misspeaks still are prime fodder.
Biden is no slacker in the blooper department, either.
Don’t expect to see them on NBC, CNN, et al., but two videos featuring good ol’ Joe have come to light which give credence to his having an issue with “the drink,” as his Irish ancestors would say.
They offer explanation for his often rambling dissertations, solecisms, flubs, and outright improprieties.
The first Biden video, . . .

The amount of alcohol which qualifies one as a drunkard in the States is innocuous by European drinking standards
