Joe Biden is a good idiot

Wait, make that: Joe Biden is good and an idiot. That’s what people are saying, anyway. The Pew Research Center did one o’ them there polls:

Biden in a Word: ‘Good,’ ‘Idiot’

Asked for their one-word impression of Joe Biden, more people use negative than positive words to describe the vice president. Many of the negative words disparage Biden’s competence and performance, with idiot, incompetent and clown among the terms used most frequently.

The top positive words used to describe Biden are good and honest. Many of the negative words focus on Biden’s intelligence: Aside from clown, a number of people describe Biden as stupid, a joke, goofy and a buffoon

[Paul] Ryan’s relative youth and inexperience are a theme in his descriptions, with young among the top words used. In contrast, Biden is often described as old.

Well, nobody is all one thing. Biden’s just like everybody else, a mix of positive and negative qualities. Here, let me try to put all these words together in a way that’s fair:

Joe Biden is good at being an incompetent idiot. What a goofy buffoon. That stupid old clown is a joke.

Honest.
