Yes, he’s always<\/em> been stupid. Now he’s also<\/em> senile<\/p>\n

Joe Biden Is Not Senile \u2014 He\u2019s Stupid.<\/a>
\nNow people chalk up to age what we all knew way back was IQ.<\/em><\/p>\n

Joe Biden, like Forrest Gump, is not a smart man<\/a>. His latest Ron Burgundy moment comes as Exhibit 1,322b.<\/p>\n

On Monday, he quoted a\u00a0woman calling high-speed internet<\/a>\u00a0\u201cthe best thing that has happened to rural America since the Rural Electrification Act brought electricity to farms in the 30s and 40s.\u201d When he finished reading that off a teleprompter, he read the words: \u201cEnd of quote.\u201d<\/p>\n

When you lead the No. 1 news team in San Diego,\u00a0this sort of thing<\/a>\u00a0can lead to job loss, beard growth, alcoholism, depression, and\u00a0drinking milk<\/a>\u00a0from the carton on a hot day. But Joe Biden merely serves as president of the United States. And Monday\u2019s teleprompter snafu does not come as the first, anyhow. Must one\u00a0repeat<\/a> the line about \u201crepeat the line\u201d?<\/p>\n

From\u00a0dressing<\/a>\u00a0protectors as the Easter Bunny to\u00a0screening<\/a>\u00a0\u201cjournalist\u201d questions in advance, there seems no easy solution. Certainly going off teleprompter without a safety net strikes his on-edge handlers as no solution at all.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, for instance, the\u00a0president startled League of Conservation Voters<\/a> by announcing, \u201cWe have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hmmm.<\/p>\n

Why not sail a boat all the way across the Indian Ocean instead? Aviation exists as an option, too. Biden may or\u00a0may not<\/a>\u00a0have traveled more than 1 million miles on Amtrak. But that\u2019s not good reason to cover ocean with track. And what happens upon the occasional derailment?<\/p>\n

If only he had added an \u201ce\u201d to potato or failed to cite a publication he read regularly \u2014 perhaps then the press,\u00a0Saturday Night Live<\/em>, and every late-night comic would have associated him with his gaffes forever. As it stands, the notion of building a railroad across the ocean does not indict one as a dullard the way misspelling a word does.<\/p>\n

A few days before floating the idea of a transoceanic railway, the president, in\u00a0non sequitur<\/em>\u00a0fashion, punctuated remarks with \u201cGod save the queen<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not just June but every month one could pen a column on\u00a0all the president\u2019s blunders<\/a>. Still, books, not columns, remain the appropriate format in which to document the president\u2019s gaffes.<\/p>\n

They fuel speculation about his fitness for office that implicitly revolve around his age. Even Chuck Todd on this past weekend\u2019s\u00a0Meet the Press<\/em>\u00a0raised<\/a>\u00a0to Sen. Amy Klobuchar the question of the president\u2019s mental and physical fitness for office.<\/p>\n

Is it possible that the same man unfit for office at 80 was also unfit for it at 45? If so, it means that stupidity, not senility, disqualifies him from high office.<\/p>\n

Consider Joe Biden at 45.<\/p>\n

When a voter asked about his academic credentials, Biden\u00a0showed<\/a>\u00a0not just a massive inferiority complex but a tiny brain. \u201cI think I probably have a much higher IQ than you do, I suspect,\u201d he said in New Hampshire. \u201cI went to law school on a full academic scholarship, the only one in my class to have a full academic scholarship.\u201d He went on to boast about his \u201cthree degrees,\u201d how he \u201cended up in the top half of my class\u201d in law school, and how he won \u201coutstanding student\u201d in the political science department.<\/p>\n

None of it was true. All of it was checkable. Unlike, say, Bill Clinton, Biden did not understand that even politicians required the good sense about what lies to tell and which ones to avoid telling. Biden seemed to tell his lies on impulse because of a bruise to his ego and not out of any Machiavellian reason.<\/p>\n

During that same presidential run, he infamously\u00a0expropriated<\/a>\u00a0British Labour Party Leader Neil Kinnock\u2019s life story. Again, the lies seemed quite disprovable not only because whether Biden came from a family of coal miners struck as either true or false but because Kinnock ran against Margaret Thatcher for prime minister two years earlier largely on that tale. He delivered the speech on his life not in Cameroon or some other distant place, but in the U.K., which witnessed television commercials showing Kinnock telling the story of his life that Biden adopted, verbatim at times, as his shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n

This required recklessness. It also required a degree of stupidity. How does one think one could get away with that?<\/p>\n

Fifteen years ago, then-Sen.\u00a0Claire McCaskill conceded<\/a>, \u201cMy friend Joe Biden has a tendency to talk forever and sometimes say stuff that\u2019s kind of stupid.\u201d<\/p>\n
