Biden: “I’m Not The Guy”

August 19th, 2008, 6:02 PM EDT

At least that’s what he told the stakeout on his lawn. 


As Delaware Sen. Joe Biden left his home a few minutes ago, golf clubs in tow, he was asked where he was going to be on Saturday.

 

Biden replied, “Here” and pointed down to his driveway.

 

As he pulled out of the driveway in the driver’s seat of his car he then said to the press gathered near his gate, “You guys have better things to do. I’m not the guy.”

  1. So does that leave Piscopo?

  2. Well, pointing at the driveway could have metaphysical implications, since the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and it must begin somewhere, and therefore Biden might be suggesting that, in a sense, when Saturday comes, he’ll still be “here”, right in his driveway, firmly grounded in the philosophical bedrock of his home county, even as, in a different sense, he launches upon a journey destined to end at the white house.

    Or he could be taking a page out of Frank Luntz playbook, in which case it doesn’t matter what he says, because words are tools to be used without regard to reality.

  5. Biden: “I’m Not The Guy”

    On hearing this Larry Craig said “I’m Not The Gay Either.”

    ..Poor old Larry obviously misheard Biden..:)
