One thing is for sure, Biden had better be all-business and no funny if he hopes to help Obama occupy the White House.
Back in July of 2006, we posted about Joe Biden’s ill-fated attempt to make with the funny while raising funds for a future WH bid. In the clip we linked to, he says:
You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.
Click on the posting to stroll down memory lane and read our analysis of Biden’s comedic aptitude.
Also, check out this clip in response to Biden’s gaffe. It’s from Raj Bhakta’s ill-fated run for the 13th District Congressional seat in Pennsylvania and it contains a better-lit version of C-Span’s Road to the White House Biden/7-Eleven/Dunkin’ Donuts clip. Now that‘s funny.
Of course, all this could be a head fake on the part of the Obama campaign. It does seem rather unlikely that Biden would be the running mate. And, of course, AP has been wrong before. And they are quoting “official who spoke did so on condition of anonymity, preferring not to pre-empt a text-message announcement the Obama campaign promised for Saturday morning.” And there have been all sorts of fake text messages going out today. We’ll see later on today whether it’s a joke or not.
