Joe Biden: A Poem

Joe Biden: A Poem

While Hillary conjures tears,
Obama delivers feel-special sermons,
and Edwards pretends he's tough,
Joe Biden
goes home*,
having received
628 New Hampshire votes**.

But let it be known:
The verbose man from Delaware
with hair plugs
delivered the single greatest line of the
campaign.
Of Giuliani, he said,
"There's only three things
he mentions in a sentence—a noun, a verb, and
9/11."

For this, the Chairman
deserves a cheer.
To you, Joe:
Rah!

*Sen. Biden officially dropped out of the race
after capturing .92 of the Iowa vote.

** With 96 percent of precincts reporting.

1. Ouch!

"Edwards pretends he's tough"

Man, that's harsh!

Aside from the hair plugs line, ( :eyes: tired, tired, tired) a righteous poem!

2. From the Village Voice, no less!

RE: the hair plugs. Yesterday it came up again in a thread again and I've ALWAYS been saying -- I DON'T SEE 'EM. There was a pic of Joe recently, a REAL close-up and I put my nose to the monitor and STILL couldn't see 'em.

Can any of you? I do recall somebody said you can on HDTV, which is unfortunate, but other than that????

It's been supposed that maybe he replaced his original ones with new, better ones????

And, last night I had a dream that somebody "said" on DU (it was a post but I heard a voice) "Finally! Biden got rid of those hair plugs! Thank God! But he looked exactly the same to me.

Anyway -- have any of you SEEN them?

3. nope

none of the times I have seen him in person, nor on TV. Of course, I am folicularly challenged myself, but really - did someone see that he had it done 20 yrs ago or what? Or was it one of those rumors, or a media hit job? I swear, if the media doesn't like you, you're toast in politics. Buncha fascist propagandizing lightweight superficial bastards in the MSM... I could go on, but I'll save my venom for the repukes

5. Hi again, Blappy -- I didn't even think to ask someone who's seen him in

person. I wonder why/how this got started unless, as we alluded to, he had a BAD job years ago, but maybe updated?

4. I've looked and no... no plugs and if he's loosing hair at the back of his head

why didn't the plugs go there?!?

:shrug:

6. I noticed on videos that his brother's hair looks just the same -- the same

balding pattern.

I just did a google search -- EVERYTHING is a snide remark with people referring to Joe's hair plugs in pejorative way. I could find to actual 'news' piece, and there was nothing on Snopes.

7. Yes,

I've seem them for quite a while. 'Happy' to have heard about his brain surgery! How awful is that?
