Biden-isms, Part Deux.

I have to say I received so many nice complements from those who appreciated reading about Uncle Joe Biden's "Biden-isms" in a recent posting that I decided to gather up and send along a few more.  

You should know that all these "Biden-isms" are direct quotes.  Nothing made up.  Although it would frankly be easier to believe if it were.  Attributions are provided where possible.  And because I think we all know that Uncle Joe is, ummm, a couple of fries short of a happy meal, most of these "Biden-isms" are spread over the past two decades.  Indicating, I'm pretty sure, that Biden's been daft for quite a long while.  

And so, without further ado (or a don't), here goes...

     -  "No ordinary American cares about their Constitutional rights."

     -  "I never had an interest in being a mayor, 'cause that's a real job.  You have to produce.  That's why I was able to be a senator for 36 years."

     -  "Every single morning since I've been 27 years old, I've got up and someone's handed me a card like the one I have in my pocket with the schedule on it, of all the things I'm gonna' do.  I don't know what to do if I didn't have that card."

You like these?  There are plenty more.  Plennnnty more!  And they plainly reflect that Joe's elevator has ceased going all the way to the top floor.  Joe's malapropisms are legendary.  And multitudinous.  Let me know if you want me to look around for another batch...
