An Iowa college student, a field staffer for Turning Point
USA, asked former vice-president Joe Biden a simple question at the Iowa State
Fair last week. The question? “How many genders are there?” Biden replied, “Pardon
me?” and the young lady asked again. The front-runner for the Democratic
presidential nomination answered, “There are (at least) three.” The student
then asked him, “What are they?” This prompted a now frustrated Biden to issue
a mild threat. He exclaimed, “Don’t play games with me, kid,” and proceeded to
reach out and grab
her by the arm in front of numerous onlookers. He then added, “By the
way, the first to come out for marriage was me.”
The gaffe riot continues. At some
point, there should be a “Best of Biden Gaffes” CD and/or DVD available for
sale to the general public. Maybe he could use the proceeds to fund his
campaign.
Three genders? Masculine, feminine and…
neuter? Sleepy Joe apparently was aroused by the young lady’s question, but he
shouldn’t have grabbed her arm. At least he didn’t come up behind her and sniff
her hair.
He was “the first to come out
for marriage?” This is doubtful at best, since, as old as Biden is,
marriage has been around for at least 700 years, and likely much longer than
that. If he was speaking specifically of gay marriage, that “institution”
in no way necessitates a third gender.
As big a lead as Biden apparently
still has in the polls, it does not appear likely to this reporter that he will
yet prove successful in his quest to become gaffer-in-chief.
