Or Maybe He’s Just a Dumb Ass?
Roger Simon asked whether or not Joe Biden is trying to sabotage Obama.
I don’t know if it’s conscious or unconscious, but it sure seems that way. First there’s the flip-flop on AIG, which seems to have caught his running mate’s attention, and now there’s the senior moment of senior moments, implying FDR was President when the stock market crashed in ‘29 and went on television (???) to calm the public. [I thought McCain was the geezer candidate.-ed. It’s all in the mind… or mind-less.] If Palin had said something like that, the MSM would have sent her back to Alaska and frozen her in an iceberg with the wooly mammoths.
So what’s going on here? Is Biden trying to sabotage Obama? We all know that during the primary campaign he said McCain was prepared to be President but Obama wasn’t. Maybe that’s what he really thinks. And, as we all know, Biden has a high IQ – at least he says so.
I like Roger Simon and value his insights but when I read this I was reminded of an incident that occurred several years ago and it seems relevant here.
Years ago I was the Installation Training Officer at Fort Benning. In spite of the huge workload overseeing everything from OSUT Infantry training to Ranger School, it was a great assignment…usually.
The biggest downside was supporting some really strange research projects and then sitting through “Death by Powerpoint” briefings on the results of said study.
My favorite is still the finding that providing winter Ranger students with Yak fat could reduce cold weather injuries. I kid you not, Yak fat.
In this case however, a platoon size element of psychologists and psychiatrists landed a big federal grant to study why some young soldiers who volunteered for service will still misbehave even desert while in basic training.
The head shrink was briefing the findings and as usual myself and several old school Infantry NCOs (All of the different school CSMs) were grudgingly sitting through the psycho-babble.
The head shrink put up a slide of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and stated:
“It is possible that the sudden and significant change in environment going from civilian to military influences can jumble his cognitive understanding of his internal needs.”
One of the CSMs immediately said, quite loudly:
“Or maybe he’s just a dumb ass.”

Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.
“Or maybe he’s just a dumb ass.”
There it is!
But maybe this is part of The Show — as in, gee, Joe has made so many mistakes that now he realizes he’s not ready for the stress of VP, so he steps aside for Hillary??
I like the sabotage from the inside theory. It’ll be interesting to see what happens during the VP debate.
Yak fat?? I KNOW what a Yak is. I KNOW what Fat is. I know what having energy reserves are, stored in your body. Yak Fat?
I think its purely “dumb ass”! I lost 30 pounds doing a criminal prosecution. The defense lawyers, on the other hand, absorbed every single pound of my weight loss doing their defense of murdering scum-bags. I have, and still wear, my so-called “western-style” belt that clearly marks the difference between my “fat” state and my current-state (about 10 years later).
So what is “Yak Fat”? A blithering idiot who claims that his helicopter was “forced down” by non-existent enemy fire? A blithering idiot who has a Life-Long History of lying about his own personal history? Somebody tell me about “Yak Fat”! I’m gaining back the fat that I lost more than 10 years ago. I need to know how to LOSE that fat, for my own Personal health, let alone the National Health of having someone who tells us the TRUTH.
Oh, and disregard Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s “televised” speeches against the 1929 Stock Market Crash! DO NOT GOOGLE things like “television” or “who was President during 1929,” listen to your NEW masters.
Whoop, der it is. NCOs- always a leg u onhe head shrink. AMEN.
Man! That should read ” leg up”!
