Biden: My Dog is Smarter than Obama’s

“They told me that if I voted for McCain we’d have we’d have a buffoon for a Vice President. And they were right!” – Tom Maguire

The “They told me that if I voted for McCain …” gag has managed to go on quite a long time already (by Internet standards) without getting old.

About the Author: James Joyner is the publisher of Outside the Beltway and the managing editor of the Atlantic Council. He's a former Army officer, Desert Storm vet, and college professor with a PhD in political science from The University of Alabama. He lives just outside the Beltway in Alexandria, Virginia with his wife and infant daughter.

True enough... First time I heard it, it went like this....
They told me that if I voted for Goldwater, we'd have four more years of Viet-Nam! And sure enough...

Prof. Reynolds could (and probably should) compile a book of his "They told me if I voted for Bush..." entries.

It wouldn't be short, but it would probably be a pretty comprehensive cross-section of the political news of the last decade.

Actually, there was quite enough evidence of his stupidity prior to this remark (see: racist 7-11 joke, comments on avoiding confined spaces). This just compounds it.

Aip;
You needed more proof?
Even his Doppelganger "Walter Moleskine" is smarter than him, and he's a ventriloquist's dummy! [lol]
