Author and British TV script writer Georgia Pritchett was invited to meet Biden, then vice president, at the White House while carrying out research for the American comedy series Veep.
She recalled in her autobiography My Mess Is a Bit of a Life, published earlier this year, how Biden was initially speaking about Ukraine, from where he had just returned, but was advised to switch topics.
Noting that Pritchett was British, he discussed how much his mother 'hated the English', telling her she had written 'hundreds' of poems on the matter.
Pritchett wrote: 'He went off to find them and returned with hundreds of poems describing how God must smite the English and rain blood on our heads.'
It looks like sheer obnoxiousness is a genetic characteristic of the Bidens. And here's a piece of touching advice from mommy:
"Remember Joey," she'd say, "you're a Biden. Nobody is better than you. You’re not better than anybody else, but nobody is any better than you."
On the contrary, you deluded woman, lots of people are better than "Joey" - most people, I'd be willing to wager, by any measure one would want to employ. What a churlish old bag (God rest her soul).
This is a horrible thing to say, and, personally, I dislike this historical figure intensely, but my contempt for the entire Biden family is so great that the first question that popped into my mind when I read the Daily Mail article linked above was, how in God's name did Cromwell miss this lot?
Update From R-man, in the comments:
Joe Biden is an a-hole
It's something we all seem to know
But is it nature
Or is it nurture
When Joey plays the bozo?

I wonder how Biden's Brain Trust is going to embarrass America and insult the Brits with their choice of who to send to the funeral.
ReplyDeleteRecall Obama's insults, from removing Churchill's bust to the cheap, crappy gifts he gave the Queen, an ipod with his speeches loaded, and the PM, a boxed set of the 50 greatest American movies. In the wrong format for Brit dvd players.
I wasn't the least surprised when Biden had to clumsily bring up being Irish regarding the Queen's death. A class act all the way, right?
ReplyDeleteAnd besides Joe, you're not Irish. If you were you would be ineligible to be POTUS (which you are anyway but for other reasons).
Too bad he isn't Irish. Wouldn't you just love to call him on it. I would. It would be funny to watch him try to decide between Irish or President. The ensuing would be a scifi scenario resulting in Joe wandering off mumbling the loop.
DeleteAwful people, awful family, but a great pic of Joe with his Mini-Me mom.
ReplyDeleteJoe Biden isn't Irish. He's an American of several generations, and so he is regarded by the real Irish. As such, he should never bow to ANY monarch, like President Lightbringer did to some Saudi mucky-muck. As for Mom Biden, she sounds like a right beeyotch.
