The sad part is that he probably believes all of it.

Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Joe Biden's comments would frequently make the front page of most newspapers - above the fold - along with some snide comments if he were a Republican.

Anyone remember Dan Quayle? He  said far fewer "dumb" quotes, but he was severely put through the media wringer, and that was well before popular MSM cable and the Internet.

Remember Dan Quayle getting into a fight with the TV character Murphy Brown?

He didn't "get into a fight" with Murphy Brown. He pointed out that our culture was promoting single females as parents.

Choosing a fictional character to point out that Hollywood was doing so was exactly the matter at hand.

It was the liberal control of the media (and your unquestioned acceptance of the premise) that tired to make a big deal about "BUT SHE ISN'T REAL!!" Well, yes, and that was rather the point.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Candice Bergen agreed with Quayle, too, apparently.

Maybe you should.  When The Atlantic (not exactly a bastion of conservative thought) AGREES with Dan Quayle, after the hounding he got from the MSM, it's worth a read....

Quayle's flap occurred before the appearance of the alternative media.  Main stream media had a free fire zone in that Quayle had no effective way to respond.  Results would be completely different if the same play was to be run today.
