Here is a delightful photo of your next vice president dressed like an extra from Get Carter. Three and a half whore diamonds. [Mark Bisnow's newsletter via Politico]

Is that an earring, or just glare? Please be an earring.
Goddamn, what a cool dude. But McCain looked like Tom Cruise in the 70s, so it’s not saying much.
Given that it was the 70′s, he could have looked a LOT worse.
[re=69909]InsidiousTuna[/re]: I think Walnuts was in his 70′s in the 70′s. He was telling the Black Power movement to get off his fucking lawn.
You can really see the car salesman genes in that one.
[re=69909]InsidiousTuna[/re]: Yeah, but Joey kept better.
I can smell the Brut from here. Wow.
The guy’s riding public Transport way back then, when others were forced to drive Ford pintos to pretend they were getting off dependence on foreign oil.
I’m just going to say that I’d still hit it. I have a thing for the olds…
Can anyone tell what is in his hand? I’m kind of blind, but I am pretending its a flask. But it could also be a camera, which isn’t nearly as awesome.
…ehhhhhh, I give him a 8.5 on the coolness scale.
That is a very interesting pose. I’m glad that young lady has decided to put her hair in front of whatever his hand is doing there
No, I would not have hit it but do appreciate that his beret matches his blazer ala Garanimals. This should go a long to to shoring up the gay vote.
Thank God they cropped out the 4″ platform shoes and the codpiece.
He looks like a young Neil Kinnock.
FACT: The amount of blow Biden has done in that picture is directly proportional to the size of the lapels on his coat.
[re=69923]WhatTheHeck[/re]:
Of course, he’s riding the bus. He’s from Delaware. The state is 80% chicken farms, DuPont plants, and toll roads. The remaining acreage available for homes and businesses is so small that there’s no reason to own a car. You can easily walk or take one of the three buses the State runs.
[re=69924]floraway[/re]: Glad to know I’m not the only one…he is quite the older gent.
It’s too bad Obama and Biden are only teaming up now. Can’t you just picture 70′s Biden as the hot-tempered veteran paired up with 70′s Obama’s hip young rookie in a buddy-cop picture?

I can’t be the only one who sees it.
[re=69936]Canmon (the Inadequate)[/re]: or a little bit French Connection
I have a thing for houndstooth. Roll Tide.
I like the hat. It’s covers his receding hairline quite nicely.
Damn, it’s going to be really interesting to see how the Republicans paint this guy as an elitist . . .
Can’t you just see that guy driving around in a Triumph Spitfire.
I guess that’s the Halloween he went as Fred Garvin, Male Prostitute.
How about high school Biden: http://www.tnr.com/gallery/popup.html?topic=Biden&g=2&p=1
And actually, he’s just as much of a badass now: http://www.tnr.com/gallery/popup.html?topic=Biden&g=7&p=1
Hagar Action-Slacks. Smooth.
[re=69928]OffTheRecord[/re]: It looks like a camera, the one he’s presumably taking to his next “tasteful nudes” photoshoot. That, of course, means he’ll be doing even more blow, but it’ll be off of a hot, 70′s-era woman’s ass.
[re=69938]HollowBrain[/re]: I would say it’s directly proportional to how wide he has his legs spread in that bus seat.
[re=69931]Borat[/re]: That’s no lady, that’s master illusionist, Doug Henning.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Henning
He looks like a French pickpocket on the train to Nimes.
Love the Jean Paul Belmondo sunglasses!
[re=69942]The Neoskeptic[/re]: yes! Gene Hackman in the French Connection is exactly what I was thinking. With a little bit of the orignal Jackal thrown in.
Bow-wow-chik-a-chic-a-wow-wow…
[re=69952]Gregory_of_Nazianzus[/re]: ooh, love that second pic.
The love for public transit is such a turn on.
He should have been in a cocktail dress.
if these guys win, we really will have The Cool Administration.
I think I see bulge! Well, he’s no Cheney, but at least Biden doesn’t dine on the blood of unborn children every morning.
Damn, that cat is straight pimpin’!
[re=69965]tunamelt[/re]: You are Joe Biden’s illegitimate child. Neither of you know this. In fact, I don’t either.
Biden…by Mennen!
Can’t wait for Leslie Sanchez’s expert opinion on his fashion choices.
[re=69965]tunamelt[/re]: It is, yes, but also totally understandable. Driving from DE to DC and back every day on 95 would drive one mad in about a week.
I think that’s my Dad.
yes, but only cause it’s Biden
Only if the pants and tie matched the jacket and hat. He doesn’t seem like he’s trying hard enough to match.

No, I wouldn’t ‘hit it’, but then I don’t swing that way. Um. I lived through the 70s and the less said about them, the better. We all did things we weren’t proud of. Except for Star Wars, and even that…
You see this cat Biden is a bad mother–
Shut your mouth
But I’m talkin’ about Biden, Joe Biden
Then we can dig it
He looks like a shaven George Carlin.
[re=69941]Godot[/re]: Should we call him Link Obama?
It’s a damn shame cameras weren’t invented in time to give us images of young Walnuts.
This is the most amazing comment I have ever read, and it is on Politico:
“THIS IS MY ONLY POSTING ON THIS MATTER AT 6:11 PM NO OTHERS ARE MINE! Old friends – President Elect McCain still speaks highly of his old friend and now opponent – Pit Bull Biden. That is not the same way the Pit Bull is attacking his old friend – I guess he learned how to throw friends under the bus from THE – MILLIONAIRE – PROMPTER READING – FLIM FLAM OBAMAMAN – BETTER KNOWN AS – BARACK (HEBREW) BARRY (AMERICAN) HUSSEIN (ARAB) SOETORO (?) OBAMA (AFRICAN)! DEFINITION OF “FLIM FLAM” BY MERRIAM-WEBSTER ON-LINE: DECEPTION, FRAUD, DOUBLE DEALING.
Posted By: Eileen | August 25, 2008 at 06:11 PM ”
Wow. Flim Flam Obamaman. Deception? Fraud? DOUBLE DEALINGZ?
This is totally the making for a daytime talk show.
[re=69990]lumpenprole[/re]: Here ya go: http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2006/jun/06/art
[re=69972]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: That puts a whole new spin on things.
are you kidding? when he smiles and those blue eyes flash, i’d hit it now. hit. it. hard.
yes, please.
All that comes to mind for me is:
You’re so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain
so vain….
Should we call him Link? StripesAndPlaids IS the under assistant west coast promo man! Link is perfect. hopefully someone will add it to wikipedia. KittyKatMan, give credit to the zen like brilliance of “By Mennen” for scoring the ever elusive advertising two-fer “Buy Mennen” quite possibly the genius of StripesAndPlaids at work or maybe his dad WhitesShoesYearRound…
I hope it was the late 70′s; that would be way dressed for the early 70′s — dandified, in fact. If you weren’t in boots and jeans in the early 70′s, you were part of the problem. But at least Joe doesn’t look disco. (Ahem, the dude is sitting when ladies are standing up. He’ll need protocol pills as veep.)
[re=69981]Miller[/re]: Yeah, kind of a Grown-Up Garanimals thing going on.
He kinda reminds me of the Jefferson’s neighbor.
[re=69941]Godot[/re]: jesus! you’re absolutely right. mid morning east l.a. , Biden working on a tommy’s burger over the hood of their black & white, young o looks on with a mock disgust that can’t hide the deep love he feels for his misanthropic training officer. just need a title and a black exploitation film follow up – i’m thinking van peebles but open…
[re=69995]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: I like the “(?)” most of all. That one character conveys a lot about the writer.
his son is not too bad to look at, either, though he doesn’t have the natty hat:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/25/AR2008082502144.html
If it was JUST that cap and not the cap AND jacket? Maybe. But he had weird ducktail hair in the back then, and he has weird ducktail hair in the back now. I don’t trust a man whose hair is trying so desperately to leap free from his scalp.
[re=69987]obfuscator[/re]: SHUT YORE MOUTH! SACRILEGE!
Is that a Pentax Spotmatic in his lap or is he just happy to see us?
[re=69950]dano[/re]: dude, i have one of those. A ’75 Spit in metallic orange/red, mofo, and I was barely alive in the 70s.
At least he doesn’t look like a reject from the SLA…
http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/8965/hillary_hl_014.jpg
[re=69995]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Is that the same Eileen who was shit on by professionals? Or am I conflating?
[re=69952]Gregory_of_Nazianzus[/re]: Whoa, whoa… “Working class” Joe went to Delaware’s second ritziest prep school? I THOUGHT it was odd that Biden has been my senator for 30 years and this campaign is the first time I have ever heard anything about him growing up as a poor black child.
[re=69956]loudmouthredhead[/re]: No way it’s a camera. He’s clearly packing heat.
I would definitely hit it. I understand the issues with the hair longing to be free and the giranimal ensemble. I would still climb him like a tree.
hell yeah! tweed + camera + pub trans = love connection.
the question is: why no hats now? would be better than plugs! do you think if he cut his hair lean and mean the press would know what to talk about him? they would be like “uh, joe biden, uh, once had bad hair.”
yellowbug: ooh! “delaware’s second ritziest prep school”? is that like, a two-room school house?
[re=70253]pickleandcake[/re]: No, it’s still one room but they took care of the snake problem and it has glass in the windows.
But all the same, the current tuition is almost $20,000 a year.
http://www.archmereacademy.com/Default.aspx?tabid=74
Has an Elliot Gould/Charles Grodin vibe going on (I know, I know, they are polar opposites),
Yes. I would hit it. The dude in that picture is fkn hot.
and then he got old and gross.
[re=70188]policonoclast[/re]: Did I say Spitfire? I meant TR3. Ha ha ha! No seriously, that outfit screams “I drive a British Roadster”.
i bet he got all kinds of action
Yeah, I’d hit dat! He’s gotta ’70s’ James Caan sexitude going on…
I would so hit that
Who’s behind those Foster Grants?
No one has anything snarky to say about the bell bottoms?
What has the world come to?
