While public officials usually try to inspire confidence and urge Americans not to avoid public interaction for fear of causing a panic, VP Joe Biden is taking the opposite approach.
From Politico:
Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday that he would not recommend taking any commercial flight or riding in a subway car “at this point” because swine flu virus can spread “in confined places.”
““I would not be, at this point – if they had another way of transportation – suggesting they ride the subway,” Biden said on NBC’s “Today” show.
Cue “clarifying remarks” that will contradict everything he just said in 5…4…3…2…
Update: Funny that Salon just labeled Obama Mr Calm, should we call Amtrak Joe “Mr. Panic”?
Does anyone still think that Palin was the lesser of the two VP candidates?
Biden is a dangerous fool- his advice and a quarter will get you a cup of coffee at 7-11 (small).

He has been on the wrong side of history forever, so his DNC-vaunted “experience” has little value… he doesn’t appear to have learned a thing.
-
Like Obama, he vehemently opposed the highly-successful Iraq “Surge” strategy- instead, Biden favored surrender and came-up with a harebrained proposal to split the country 3-ways.
The reality is that if the current administration was in-charge 4 years ago, Iraq today would be an Al Qaida Caliphate that makes Kabul of 2001 look like Disneyland.

Biden opposed every element of Reagan’s defense buildup that toppled the USSR as “dangerous”- and opposed the first Gulf war, which would have allowed Sadam to keep Kuwait and control a large chunk of the world’s oil supplies.
-
In the 1987 presidential primaries, he not only plaguerized British Labor leader Neil Kinnock’s speeches wholesale… but actually co-opted his entire life story, falsely claiming to have been the “first in his family to go to college” and a “coal-miner’s son”… when in fact Biden’s father was a car salesman (no surprise there, Biden looks like one too).

Joey Plugs often says things that betray a major disconnect with reality– best chain him to a telemprompter every time he heads-out the door.
