Major Yawn: Obama Picks Biden for VP

Barack Obama has picked Joe Biden of Delaware to be his Vice-Presidential running mate. It would be difficult to imagine a more mundane, ordinary and uninspiring choice. Biden has himself tried to run for President several times and never emerged from the anonymous pack of second-stringers.

Joe Biden is an old-line Democrat of Big Labor, Big Government, high taxes and socialism. He is perhaps more famous for his plagiarism than his legislation. In 1987 Biden copied a pro-labor speech by U.K. Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock, using it as his own. He was quickly found out and terribly embarrassed. For me, at least, the very mention of Biden's name conjures up a sappy looking guy with the word "Schmuck" tatooed on his forehead in blazing red letters.

The Democrat convention starts Monday. Drink strong coffee before watching.
