I’m just not sure which one.

Biden spoke at the NAACP convention earlier today, because Obama couldn’t make it. (Barry’s so busy today that they didn’t have time to write any of it down in the official White House schedule.) Apparently, after it was patiently explained to ol’ Sheriff Joe that the event has nothing to do with college sports, he tore up his prepared speech and just winged it. Here’s a little piece:

“Imagine what the Romney Justice Department will look like. Imagine when his senior advisor on constitutional issues is Robert Bork. Imagine those incredibly important positions of justice. Imagine, and I mean this, this to me is one of the most critical issues in this election, imagine what the Supreme Court will look like after four years of a Romney presidency.”

Well… yeah. That’s the whole point. Every day, more and more people are imagining those very things. They don’t like what’s going on in those institutions and want to fix them. What they don’t imagine is that Obama is a good president.

Again and again, those poor slobs in the Obama campaign put Biden out there. Again and again, he manages to undercut his own team in the most entertainingly unpredictable ways. Is he just a garrulous, well-meaning oaf, or is there something else going on there?

Did Joe switch sides? Is he a sleeper agent? Is he trying to get the other guy elected?

Reminds me of something I wrote a few weeks before the 2008 election. Not to brag or anything, but I think I called it pretty well…

Biden Clarifies Earlier Remarks on His Dread of an Obama Administration

Richmond, VA, Oct. 22 — At a campaign stop in a Richmond-area Denny’s earlier today, Delaware Senator and Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden followed up on his controversial claim last Sunday that within the first six months of an Obama administration, America would “have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

Biden’s statement to the press:

“Ya know, I kinda put my foot in my mouth the other day… [chuckle] You folks know how I can get, with the words and the talking and the babbling and the yammering and so forth. But I just wanted to clarify those remarks. I know I speak for Obama when I say that we are ready to lead. Come what may, we are gonna be out there in front. Because I gotta tell ya, when this great man, this fantastic young African-American kid who I’m proud to call my closest friend, when he becomes president, the American people need to know that you are all gonna be grabbin’ your ankles every April 15 for the rest of your probably-shortened lives.

“I mean, the taxes, they’re gonna be unbelievable. Holy f***. So we’ll need your help with that. You’re gonna have to pay ’em. There’s no way we can repel a full-scale nationwide tax revolt without resorting to nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons, at least in the scenarios they’ve shown me, so we’re countin’ on you to do the right thing.

“And I’d say to America, this land that I love: You’ve all seen what an agent of change Barack Obama is. He’s brought together people from all walks of life. He’s inspired every single person in this country, no matter who you are or what you look like or even if you’re into, y’know, the funny stuff. [chuckle] Which is gonna be a great comfort when the Obama administration strangles the U.S. economy and sets off a long, terrifying race war.

“It is gonna suck beyond anything you could ever imagine. I’m not even kidding. I have a great fondness and admiration for the African-American people, I think they’ve done some great work over the years, but when push comes to shove, I know which side I’m on. You follow me?

“But Obama is gonna be there, and he’s gonna learn the ropes, probably. It’ll be really hard for you guys to survive in the nightmarish, decaying wasteland he’ll make of this great nation, but those are the sorts of experiences that shape a man. And I know he’s gonna come through it okay, at least in terms of his own personal safety.”

Before being escorted out of the restaurant by frenzied campaign aides, Biden added, “And don’t forget Iran! They know he’s a pushover. Which is one of the things I love about the guy, he’s a pussycat, but these animals? Boy oh boy. Can you say ‘suitcase nuke’? I don’t know for sure which city, but I’m guessing one of the smaller Midwest towns we’re not watching that closely, maybe Omaha or Akron or one of those deals. You should probably start evacuating now.

“Okay, whoa, looks like my time’s up. Easy on the threads, fellas, it’s a rental. [chuckle]”
