First Neil Kinnock, Now The Army Ad Campaign

If at First you do get caught, shouldn't you not follow the same path again?

Seems the verbose, hair-plugged Wonder Kid Joe Biden hasn’t learned much in 20 odd years. Despite having his first campaign crash and burn amid allegations of plagiarizing British Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock’s campaign speech, he begins his 2008 closely mimicking, if not resurrecting, the defunct U.S. Army ad campaign with a cloying claim that, “I’m running to be the Best Biden I can be!” To which I say (with apologies to Dana Carvey’s Church Lady) - Isn’t that precious!!

This just goes to show, whether in his default mode – endlessly droning on with no discernable point in sight – or his outlier attempt at brevity and pithiness , Biden’s not an enjoyable listen.
When asked about his foreign policy objectives Biden said, “I’m looking to let Iran be the best Iran it can be , to let Kim il Jong be the best Kim il Jong he can be and Syria be the best Syria it can be.” Asked his policy on Iraq, Biden said, “Iraq is already the best Iraq it can be so we should get our things together and get out of there skidoo!”
