street fights and diplomacy

When I got knocked down by guys bigger than me, she sent me back out and demanded that I bloody their nose so I could walk down that street the next day.

–Joe Biden, DNC, August 27

Really, Joe? She didn’t tell you to invite the guys over to discuss a multilateral disarmament? She didn’t tell you to call your classmates together so they could give you permission to possibly shove them out of your way? She didn’t want you to bring some extra lunch, since they’re probably just hungry? She didn’t blame you for invading their sidewalk?

Man, your mom sounds like a unilateralist neocon.
