Where's Lunchpail Joe?

Joe Biden may not be Joe the Plumber, but we'll call him Lunchpail Joe. You know, he's always pal-ing around somewhere with the regular guy. Why he used to give George Bush all kinds of advice, even though he didn't take it.

In all honesty, Karl Rove accused Joe Biden of lying about giving advice to George Bush. For the record, I'd take Karl Rove's word and the word of many Bush aides over that of Joe Biden, because frankly, the Vice President has been caught in a lot of lies.

Politicians exaggerate, but Joe Biden just out and out lies about a lot of things. In fact, one thing that a lot of Democrats these days seem to be good at doing is either one of two things:

1. Just out and out lying about the record of their opponent.
2. Just out and out lying about their own record, reassuring people by telling them what they're going to do and pretty much doing exactly the opposite thing.

Forgive me if I'm being unfair here. It's just that Democrats rule the roost right now, and we just need A LOT of new blood in Washington.

And seeing that the Democrat party seems to be about:
1. socialism and collectivism.
2. abortion rights.
3. gun control.
4. foreign policy appeasement.
5. more taxation and more out of control government spending.

We could use a real change. And not the kind that Obama was talking about.

In fact, there needs to be a lot more turnover in Washington. Some of these people need to leave, and go back to their own states and districts, and see what real life is like.

And getting back to Lunchpail Joe, I think that when it comes to Barack Obama having picked this guy for Vice President, Joe Biden was a useful idiot. He looks like a nice man, he seems like a nice man. He looks pretty good on stage, a grey-haired, easygoing, likeable fella. In fact, if you were playing a round of pool, who knows, he might be fun to chum around with, but the problem is, he's been a career politician.

Which means, he pretty much hasn't done really anything else with his life. And this is the problem with a lot of our politicians. They're not really about public service. They haven't worked in medicine, as businesspeople, as economists, as clergy, as hard-working blue-collar guys. Most of them for a very long time have just been lawyers and politicians, or lobbyists, and when you have too many of one kind, too-many like-minded people devoted to the government machine, you really don't get the full picture of what American life is like. You just end up with groupthink.

Honestly, I think Washington is a really weird place. I've never been there, and I'm going to go and see the city this year. But I think those who spend a lot of time there might start as one thing, and eventually end up being twisted into the image of the place. In fact, a lot of these people would do well to spend a great deal of time elsewhere, thinking about what everybody else in America is going through.

Joe Biden could not be reached for comment, but of course, the report I read said that an aide said that he stands by his comments. Of course he does. It will all be just forgotten tomorrow when he says the next ridiculous thing. In the meantime, here's a top list of where Joe Biden might actually be reached for comment these days . . . you know, when he's not checking in at the office.

5. In the Gulf of Mexico on an oil rig.

4. Down at your local construction site, lunchpail in hand.

3. At the local Big Boy.

2. Hunting with the guys.

1. Home Depot.*

*Not.
