BIDEN: THE DISAPPEARING MAN: LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY...

BIDEN IS DISAPPEARING:

Biden has pretty much gone down the memory hole even before Obama is sworn in. He simply isn’t in the news or doing much of anything. As The Politico noted earlier Biden pretty well is gone from public:

CHICAGO — More than three weeks into the transition, and Vice-President elect Joe Biden generates less buzz than the non-existent first puppy.

DOWN THE MEMORY HOLE IS VERY APT: I'M AFRAID IT'S BECAUSE HE'S GOT DEMENTIA:

• THOSE ANEURYSMS HAVE MORE THAN CAUGHT UP WITH HIM.

• I HAVE FELT THIS SINCE HIS UNUSUALLY IDIOTIC COMMENT ABOUT PRESIDENT FDR/THE 1929 CRASH AND TV.

• THIS WAS MORE THAN A LIE OR A FLUB;
  
• IT WAS A GROSS MIS-UNDERSTANDING OF SOMETHING HE SHOULD UNDERSTAND,
  
• AND ONCE PROBABLY DID.
  
• FORGETTING IT INDICATES MORE THAN FORGETFULNESS;
  
• IT SIGNIFIES AND GROSS DIMINUTION OF HIS MENTAL CAPABILITIES.
  

• WHEN COUPLED WITH HIS AWFUL PERFORMANCE AT THE PALIN DEBATE - (IN WHICH HE EITHER LIED, MISSTATED THE TRUTH, OR FABRICATED STORIES FROM WHOLE CLOTH IN ABOUT 80% OF HIS ANSWERS) - IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE BIDEN HAS MUSH MORE THAN A MILD CASE OF FOOT-IN-MOUTH DISEASE;
  

• IT SEEMS LIKE A PRE-ALZHEIMER'S RELATED DISORDER, TO ME...

• YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST.

• I PREDICT THEY SUSPECT THIS NOW; THEY WILL CONFIRM IT SOON, AND BIDEN WILL RESIGN TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH HIS FAMILY IN EARLY 2010.

• [IT GIVES ME NO PLEASURE TO PREDICT THIS.
• I HOPE I'M WRONG.
• IF I'M RIGHT... WELL, I WISH HIM AND HIS FAMILY ALL THE BEST - ADVICE: ENJOY LIFE WITH JOE WHILE YOU CAN...]
