I’m not sure that they were funny, but if they were as you seem to think, there is a difference worth noting: Eddie Murphy didn’t mean it and types like you do mean it and even encourage it. Go home

Biden style leadership is a threat for morons like JT and his readers that can’t understand anything beyond a 10 word talking point.

Exactly. The knock on Biden wasn’t that he was stupid, it was that he said stupid things. Not “potato is spelled with a ‘e’.” stupid, but “That’s going to hurt him politically” stupid.

If Biden was a decade younger, I would support him running in 2016.

Are you fucking stupid? Biden would make a great president.

You know what? You are irrelevant now. Your party lost, your prediction didn’t come true, your opinions don’t matter. You are a loser and I would appreciate it if you just shut up and let the smart people talk for a while. Maybe you can learn something and by in three years when the 2012 election heats up, you will be able to make a real contribution to the subject.

LOL. I think we now know Jay Tea’s real name: Michael Scott.

Examples of bad assassination punch lines include:

if an airplane carrying Obama and his wife were blown up “it certainly wouldn’t be a great loss, and it probably wouldn’t be an accident either.”

“some are reading [it] as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama.” Hemmer quickly corrected Trotta, having noticed that she had said “Osama” when she meant “Obama.” At this point, Trotta said, “Obama. Well…both if we could!” Trotta then laughed gleefully.

Huckabee made an off-color joke during his speech in Louisville, Kentucky, when a loud bang was heard off-stage.

“That was Barack Obama,” Huckabee quipped, “He Just tripped off a chair. He was getting ready to speak. Somebody aimed a gun at him and he…he dove for the floor.”

I would also recommend avoiding anything racially stupid or offensive. This includes (but is not limited to) “Obama killed in drug deal gone bad” or “first African-American president slain in White House drive-by shooting”. Also, if you’re considering anything with blackface, please check this link first (applies to liberals, too).

Republicans have spent a lot of time being scared of Democratic gains as if they all did very poorly under Clintonomics and as if thousands of innocent people died on Clinton’s watch.

They’re not scared of Democrats. They’re scared of anything they can’t control, which is why things like Prop 8 happen.

While I wholeheartedly agree assassination jokes aren’t funny, I think I must point out that if Obama was looking for insurance, he would have picked Hilary.

I was born almost 4 years after Kennedy was assassinated, but I remember precisely where I was when I heard Reagan was shot — and I was terrified.

Yeah, god knows we wouldn’t want Reagan’s VP becoming president!

Biden occasionally speaks before thinking, but at least he’s capable of admitting his goofs. I’m pretty sure Dan Quayle is somewhere still insisting he was right about Murphy Brown.

You are not Eddie Murphy. You obviously were not terrified ENOUGH when Reagan was shot– and yes we know who Biden is and –NO one should have a sense of humor about ANYONE being assassinated in this country.

Grow up or just stop hating long enough to get rid of your inner nasty for a moment. (What am I saying? That’s not gonna happen with you.)

Interesting. When haters bring their dark thoughts to the surface it’s always about everyone else not having a sense of humor. . . .

Many people made the joke I alluded to about Dan Quayle — and it was marginally funny.

I was born almost 4 years after Kennedy was assassinated, but I remember precisely where I was when I heard Reagan was shot — and I was terrified.

But the butt of the joke this time is Joe Biden — and anyone who can’t laugh at Joe Biden either has no clue who Joe Biden is, no sense of humor, or both.

J.

But please, remain in your little ideological bubble where everybody LOVES Sarah Palin. Watching her get crushed in the Republican primary is going to be a blast in 2012.
