The wisdom of experience

Now that I'm hearing Joe Biden tossed around as potential VP material, I feel obligated to remind everyone that he is responsible for the single dumbest statement ever made in a Democratic presidential debate:

"BLITZER: If you don't think there needs to be a fence, why did you vote for that legislation?

BIDEN: Well, that fence was -- the reason I voted for the fence was that was the only alternative that was there.

And I voted for the fence related to drugs. A fence will stop 20 kilos of cocaine coming through that fence. It will not stop someone climbing over it or around it."

A singular specimen of incoherence and stupidity.
