Put simply, to call Joe Biden the Barnie Fife of U.S. presidents would not be an overstatement
Most of us of a certain age remember the Andy Griffith Show (and subsequently, Mayberry, RFD) that played in the 60s and early 70s. Deputy Sheriff Barney Fife (actor Don Knotts) was a gangly bumbling sidekick where the running joke was that he was allowed to have only a single bullet as part of his job. Wikipedia graciously described the role as:
Barney Fife is outwardly smug and self-important, covering up his insecurities and low self-confidence with a display of bravado. He presents himself as an expert on such diverse subjects as firearms, martial arts, women, singing, wilderness survival, psychology and American history. He frequently tries to impress others with his knowledge or skill in areas where his expertise is actually quite limited. He wishes to be perceived as “a man of the world”, but he is actually quite naïve, and his fear of appearing ignorant leaves him easily duped.
Go ahead, now compare the character to Biden. Having watched him (and interviewed him in 2008 at the Laconia, NH Margate Resort), I see little difference between the TV actor and the actor in the White House.
Let’s Go Brandon!
