Bad Biden

Barack Obama thinks Joe Biden is a puppy. Joe Biden thinks this can't be good for his back. Barack Obama also thinks his people should sleep in their offices.

Is Barack Obama Somewhere Over the Rainbow?

He is, at the very least, really ugly in a dress (the real Obama would probably look better, to be fair). Toto is unlabeled, but one can assume that it's probably Biden. There aren't many alternatives.

A Curious Case

In this pre-election cartoon by Rob Tornoe, the question is asked, Does the Palin Pick neuter Biden? on August 29, 2009.

Judging by the facts that Biden is not wearing a protective collar indicative of surgery, Obama does not look sympathetic over a possible nuts-removal surgery, and Palin and McCain did go on to lose the election fairly decisively, I suggest that the neutering did not happen. Perhaps Dr. Palin got confused and performed some sort of age-reversing procedure instead. This would explain how attack dog Biden reverted to puppy Biden at some point during the campaign and election.

Attack dog, again

Joe Biden is an attack dog who cannot control his spittle.

Werepuppy or BDSM?

The Economist's cartoonist here seems somewhat confused. That muzzle would not work on a human face. One wonders if the artist means to show that Biden is mostly human but transforms into a puppy at inopportune moments, or if this is another instance of the artist implying Biden engages in animal roleplay bondage.

Not a puppy

According to artist Taco Werewolf,

this good feeling would not last for long as the SARAH PLAIN ALASKAN HORROR SHOW quickly followed the very next day when John McCain, on his birthday, announced that the female, gun-toting, bible-thumping, moose-hunting governor of Alaska would be his vice-presidential running-mate. Shortly thereafter, Senators Obama and Joe Biden would become the "moose" of many Republicans' jokes and I've tried to depict that here by portraying them both with moose antlers.

So there you go. Joe Biden may not be a puppy, but perhaps he is engaging in some form of BDSM roleplay in this painting.

During the campaign and prior to it, Biden was seen as a full grown attack dog; currently, he is a puppy. This is some Benjamin Button's shit.

Please note: Evan Bayh also seems to be a puppy.
