Look at Biden just crushing that cream

(Newser) – Osama bin Laden wanted to assassinate President Obama—but Joe Biden? No point in bothering with him, the al-Qaeda leader told his followers. Amongst bin Laden’s records, “there is a note indicating that the vice president is not an important target because that position has less weight,” a US official told ProPublica. Who else was important? “Military chiefs like the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the defense secretary, top military people.”

Writing for the Telegraph, Toby Harnden notes that to be fair, “the al-Qaeda leader tied the comment to the constitutional weakness of the vice-presidency rather than the antics of the garrulous current occupant.” But, he quips, “one does suspect that bin Laden might have rather liked to have got Dick Cheney.”

….

If I was Biden I would be absolutely furious about this. I mean no one WANTS to get assassinated, its probably not all that fun, but to not even be a big enough threat to be considered for the assassination? Total slap in the face.

Its like in elementary school when you’re picking teams for kickball and there’s that one kid left that no one wants, and the captain decides, you know what, fuck it, lets just play with 8 guys instead of picking the spaz. Biden is the spaz. He couldn’t even get assassinated if he tried. Beyond embarrassing.
