Sorry, Joe

By David E. Petzal

In my blog post of February 22, I wrote a line stating that Vice President Joe Biden’s occasionally antic behavior might be explained by a blow to his head at some time in the past from which he had not fully recovered. Shortly after the post appeared, we received an outraged communication from the White House informing Field & Stream that then-Senator Biden, in 1988, had undergone surgery to repair an aneurism in his brain, and demanding retraction of the line.

The retraction was refused, but I would nonetheless like to apologize to Vice President Biden. I was completely unaware of his medical history, and had I known about this episode I would not have joked about the condition. The line I used was inspired by a fragment I dimly recalled from Mark Twain about a mule that had been struck hard in the head and was trying to come to terms with its surroundings.

I’ve requested, through the magazine, that the Obama Administration send me complete medical histories of all its personnel who have anything to do with firearms legislation and about whom I might write so that incidents of this sort can be avoided in the future.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the information. After reading "The F&S Gun Rights Interview" which was uploaded 2/5/13, one could have legitimate cause for concern with the comments of our VP. I would encourage all readers of this blog to read the interview, if only for their own benefit.

While I'm sorry Biden had to undergo surgery for his aneurism, I doubt he was a genius to begin with. He's one of those politicians that would do well to remember... "when your up to your nose in $*it, don't open your mouth"

Oh, his nincompetence started a long time before he had the brain surgery. Read the guy's personal history. As a former university instructor I have absolutely no respect for anybody who would plagarize stuff, especially at a law school level. And then get away with pleading ignorance. Well, okay, maybe that should work for Joe, but what the hell was a moron doing in law school in the first place? Wait a minute ... I worked in a law firm for six years. In that profession Biden is no exception. He more likely resembles the rule. But then what did he learn from that episode? Nothing! Goes and does the same thing years later in a campaign speech that he stole from a British bencher. They may have removed the aneurism but I doubt his brain was in any danger ... because I don't think he has one!

personally, i think many of our politicians have been struck in the head, or have a mental condition of one sort or another. clearly, they either can not think straight, or they simply have no concern for the future of this country. either way, they need to be replaced. "career politicians" should be eliminated. there should be a 2 term limit for any one individual. and not 2 terms in every office under the stars. 2 terms, whether it is as a senator, congressman, president, or local drain commissioner. pick you category wisely, and go for it. once you have served 2 terms, you are done. no lifetime medical, no lifetime retirement fund, no lifetime secret service escorts. a former president should have secret service people for the length of time he or she served in office afterwards. meaning if they were in office for 8 years, they get protection for 8 years after their service in done. after that, they return to being plain civilians. it might make them think a little more about how they act while in office. also, their pay should be based on how well America is doing. want a raise? make America better! salary should be based on the G.N.P. of this country. not by whatever they feel they are worth.

Wow! I knew this administration had jackrabbit ears when it came to ever hearing a whiff of criticism, but who knew they keep track of DEP as closely as they do of Bob Woodward and Sean Hannity?
You have to love the way they completely duck the substance of what DEP said in order to create a new class of victims protected from wisecracks and other politically incorrect speech. Personally I cannot think of a better poster boy for brain dis-function than the current veep, so maybe he'll be put in charge of the outreach program. Regardless of medical history, he's been fully qualified his entire public life.
On the flask half-full side, this could be a great opportunity for both DEP and F&S readers to seek answers to questions that have gone begging for months, since despite the puppy-eating sequester the administration obviously still has man-hours to burn keeping track of what's said on Gun Nuts.
I have a few questions myself, for Joe and his Boss. Why are you violating the law by refusing to allow the re-importation of U.S. firearms such as M-1 Garands and M1-carbines when you actually facilitated illegal gun sales to Mexico?
Exactly what did you mean when you described red-state and red county dwellers as "bitter" people who "cling to their guns and religion" because they don't like the way some people look?
Should we congratulate you on the most expensive gasoline ever sold in February, given that you vowed to make energy prices "necessarily skyrocket" as a desirable by-product of your regulatory agenda?
As long as we're on that subject, why are we paying the Marxist President of Brazil to drill oil in our Gulf while still forbidding American companies to resume drilling?
Last but hardly least, exactly what else was so important the night of the Bengazhi attack that you couldn't find time to place even one phone call to your own Sec. of Defense or State to find out if there might be some way to rescue the Americans you left hanging out to dry? Were you so busy reading DEP's latest column that you just couldn't tear yourself away to deal with Libya? If so, do you know anymore now than you did then about the urgent need to exempt Hoppe's #9 from any future chemical weapons treaties?

LMAO....Joe Biden who has insulted just about every minority in the US, along with Obama (the whole he cleans up well for a Black man statement during the primaries),Gun owners, voters, etc.....has now developed a thin skin like his boss? Boo Hoo.
Funny, neither him nor his staff spoke about Obama mocking the kids in the Special Olympics on late night TV, they never said a word when Rahm Emanuel mocked retarded people,nor did any of them ever apologise for staff and close supporters making dirty jokes about Palin's underaged daughters on National TV....AND...they knew, but you're a bad guy and you didn't know?
RETRACTION? Hell, I'm shocked they don't have the F&S staff turn in everything for editing by Team Obama. That's what they did the other day when Michelle said Automatic weapons were being used in Chicago killings.
The MSM edited out "Automatic" for her!!!! Just to protect her from looking stupid.
These clowns are the biggest group of "Do as I say,not as I do." wussys I have ever seen. That said, watch out they don't pull a Woodward on you over your head.

Hello David,

I just wanted to drop you a line. I bought and read the publication “The Total Gun Manual” and enjoyed it thoroughly. I have been shooting rifles and pistols over forty years and had never heard of J-B Non-Embedding Bore Cleaning Compound before seeing it in the book.

Being an inherently lazy fellow, after stumbling upon a swaged lead, round nosed 230 grain load with WW231 that shoots out of my carry Colt 1911 Series 70 like a well tuned Gold Cup…I stopped looking for another “standard” load. We all know about lead fouling and WW231 is not ballyhooed as a particularly clean burning powder but like I said, it works…damn well. I don’t even want to hear a sermon about hollow points. If somebody gets hit with one of those lead balls, they aint gonna be happy…body armor or not. The only problem with the combination is the cleaning issue.

After reading about the J-B, a few days later I sauntered into the local gun hut and asked about this mystery goo. Apparently, someone at the shop had just read the “Manual” too because they had just ordered J-B and stocked their shelves the day before! I bought a jar and went to work on my Colt (It was pretty embarrassing. Remember what I said about my being lazy? OK, I actually had scrubbed at it before but never gotten the barrel spotless.)

I want to tell you that the J-B took all of that lead fouling out with minimal effort and the barrel looks brand new.

Thanks for the heads up and keep up the good work.

After reading your commentary and commenting myself, I had the vision of a scene from Young Frankenstein with the Vice President on one table and Diane Feinstein on another. There were cables and tubes running to machinery and connecting the pair. A light green fluid was being pumped out of Joe’s head, through a container being hit with sparks and then into Diane. Both of their eyes were flickering open and closed while sometimes their limbs twitched. Then the enraged presents burst into the operating room and turn off the equipment prematurely. The experiment works for the most part.

In the movie certain traits were passed back and forth from one to the other during the “treatment” but everything is not quite right.

As I was lying in bed this morning, I couldn’t help but wonder if Joe got his sexy, animal magnetism and expertly quaffed hair from Diane…or the other way around.

I was also wondering if the operation was using wind and solar powered equipment and they suffered a brown out before the process was complete.

To Iklwa: Thank you for the kind words. For an additional thrill, try J-B in combination with Kroil penetrating oil, which you get from Brownell's. Run a Kroil patch through the bore and then have at it with the J-B. Kroil apparently acts as a force multiplier. It's also great for freeing rusted bolts, etc.

Where did you come up with "Iklwa"? I know what it means because I know everything, but very few other people do.

Let's take it easy on Joe...he's in unfamiliar waters.
Let's not forget to take into account that in his senatorial career he was a pet loudmouth for the public sector and teacher's unions, the trial lawyer's association and the insurance lobby, where his bully pulpit tactics were not met with any real resistance, for fear of his union supporters not being available at the ballot box for whoever might be up for reelection. With that in mind it's undertandable why he got used to no one standing up to him and his arrogant, condescending delivery on subjects which in this case it's clear he is woefully uninformed. That's just Joe being Joe, just like when he equated the service of his Army Reserve officer/JAG lawyer son to being equal in risk to that of Sarah Palin's son, who served in a line infantry unit out of Ft. Richardson. Never mind that Bo (son of Joe) served in and FTR NEVER left the Coalition protected Green Zone while doing his tour in Iraq, while Palin's boy served in Basra and Nasiryiah during the height of the insurgency.
As much as I hate quoting or paraphrasing others, Colion Noir in his video critique of Biden and his double-barrelled shotgun home defense speech said that his rhetoric is what you get "when you mix arrogance and senility...". I don't think Joe Biden is senile, though arrogant goes without question. Such much in fact that he believes he's entitled to say whatever he wants, regardless of whether or not it makes sense or is even remotely true.

A polite reminder would have been one thing, but outrage? Give me a break. Biden’s ideas about self-defense and the overall administration proposed a policy, that’s what’s outrageous!

After reading your commentary and commenting myself, I had the vision of a scene from Young Frankenstein with the Vice President on one table and Diane Feinstein on another. There were cables and tubes running to machinery and connecting the pair. A light green fluid was being pumped out of Joe’s head, through a container being hit with sparks and then into Diane. Both of their eyes were flickering open and closed while sometimes their limbs twitched. Then the enraged presents burst into the operating room and turn off the equipment prematurely. The experiment works for the most part.

In the movie certain traits were passed back and forth from one to the other during the “treatment” but everything is not quite right.

As I was lying in bed this morning, I couldn’t help but wonder if Joe got his sexy, animal magnetism and expertly quaffed hair from Diane…or the other way around.

I was also wondering if the operation was using wind and solar powered equipment and they suffered a brown out before the process was complete.

While I'm sorry Biden had to undergo surgery for his aneurism, I doubt he was a genius to begin with. He's one of those politicians that would do well to remember... "when your up to your nose in $*it, don't open your mouth"

Let's take it easy on Joe...he's in unfamiliar waters.
Let's not forget to take into account that in his senatorial career he was a pet loudmouth for the public sector and teacher's unions, the trial lawyer's association and the insurance lobby, where his bully pulpit tactics were not met with any real resistance, for fear of his union supporters not being available at the ballot box for whoever might be up for reelection. With that in mind it's undertandable why he got used to no one standing up to him and his arrogant, condescending delivery on subjects which in this case it's clear he is woefully uninformed. That's just Joe being Joe, just like when he equated the service of his Army Reserve officer/JAG lawyer son to being equal in risk to that of Sarah Palin's son, who served in a line infantry unit out of Ft. Richardson. Never mind that Bo (son of Joe) served in and FTR NEVER left the Coalition protected Green Zone while doing his tour in Iraq, while Palin's boy served in Basra and Nasiryiah during the height of the insurgency.
As much as I hate quoting or paraphrasing others, Colion Noir in his video critique of Biden and his double-barrelled shotgun home defense speech said that his rhetoric is what you get "when you mix arrogance and senility...". I don't think Joe Biden is senile, though arrogant goes without question. Such much in fact that he believes he's entitled to say whatever he wants, regardless of whether or not it makes sense or is even remotely true.

One thing's for sure, Biden isn't in any danger of someone plagiarizing any of his speeches! Pffft. Yeah, fat chance of that!
