CAT Scan on Joe Biden Detects Several Cats
Are Joe Biden’s ever-increasing verbal missteps the result of increased media scrutiny after three years on a back burner, a symptom of just plain old ordinary stupidity — or an indication of organic brain damage? I’m inclined to think it’s a combination of the first two, but Dr. Henry Miller at Forbes (a physician himself) is worried about the latter. Should the Obama administration get Sheriff Joe a neurological exam?
Are these aberrations stupidity, dementia or personality disorders? To find out, shouldn’t there be some vetting or testing of people in, or who aspire to, governmental positions as critical as the vice-presidency? After all, we require bus drivers and hairdressers to prove their competence before they are permitted to ply their trades, and applicants to most police forces undergo psychological testing.
Biden should submit to a thorough neurological and psychiatric examination, with special attention to whether he is experiencing “transient ischemic attacks” – marked by impaired blood flow to the brain – small strokes, seizures, or suffers from a brain tumor. After all, we often demand to know whether a candidate has recovered from open-heart surgery, cancer or a stroke, and many states require elderly drivers to be re-licensed. …
An exam by an expert offers an assessment of cognitive abilities, memory and quality of thought processes. It includes assessments of alertness; speech; behavior; awareness of environment; mood; affect; rationality of thought processes; appropriateness of thought content (presence of delusions, hallucinations, or phobias); memory; ability to perform simple calculations; judgement (“If you found a letter on the ground in front of a mailbox, what would you do with it?”); and abstract reasoning.
Don’t voters have a right to know whether Biden is ill or merely unlikeable, impulsive and prone to deceitfulness?

That scan is too funny.
The paper clip up his nose is hilarious…but the 45 record adapter put me on the floor!
For you youts, a record was a flat vinyl round thing, with a hole in the middle that made music.
Really!

Do we really want to give them a reason to take Slow Joe off the ticket?

Since slojoe regularly stuffs his peas in his nose…I guess he decided it would be fun to shove a paperclip up there as well.

The cat scan is great!
Mandatory testing would eliminate a big part of the problems caused by idiots.
Can Joe draw a picture of a clock?

Maybe he’s just stupid, lke he has been from Day One.
If you watch video of him from his first days in Washington, he was not only stupid but vindictive and obnoxious.

OK, folks, let’s get serious – he just may be having those TSIs, no joke. How can anyone do and say the crazy stuff he does and not have something wrong. He needs our prayers!
By the way, this is the site I go into first thing in the morning – I adore you guys! It’s nice to know there are other insane folks out there who still enjoy life.

I’m gonna go with Biden just being a moron as the most likely explanation.

Your favorite president (Reagan) had Alzheimer’s disease while in office. Seems like this is exactly the kind of brain you want in Power.
