Joe Bob’s Thought of the Day: Vice Presidential Edition
🕑 Added 2023-07-25 02:59:47 +0000 UTCThe rarest talent in the world is the skill of a vice president. The number two in any organization. The traditional word for it is “majordomo.” In police work, it’s a deputy. In Britain the monarch calls it the Master of the Household. But I like our term better, using the Latin word for “in place of.” A vice president can function “in place of” the president, but most days he or she is making sure the president’s decisions get carried out, perfectly, in detail, without ever saying “the decision was carried out.” A vice president knows what time the plane leaves, who needs to be emailed, what bills should be paid on what date, which social media forum is better, who needs to be picked up at the airport, and what statement was made in 2011 that affects business today. A vice president never asks how to do something, he or she just figures out how to do it. A vice president can BE the president if the president gets sick or goes on vacation, but a vice president doesn’t want to do that as a full-time job. A vice president loves making things run smoothly. A vice president knows when the president is wrong and knows how to break it to him or her without judging his or her character. A vice president can basically do anything that needs to be done. God bless the vice presidents of the world.

Ed McMahon was proof positive that a good #2 makes a world of difference.

I’m gonna tell my kids Jerry Lewis was the best VP. I’m mixed on Jane Wyman as FLOTUS, though.
I'm pretty sure this picture was taken at the Drexel Theater in Columbus, Ohio, when Joe Bob hosted Queen of Blood and the immortal Tobe Hooper classic, Lifeforce. I was there for this historic event.

That applies to very few in my lifetime and certainly not the one now.

Then who is Vice president ? I don’t believe Kamala is any of that . Mike Pence was the guy who cast the winning vote for Joe , 10 million more votes than Obama , highest vote getter of all time beating out 2nd highest vote getter in exact same election with massively all time high record turnout during a pandemic . Don’t you dare question legitimacy and they never Bragg about this stunning victory . The more you look at 2020 election details the stranger it gets . Let’s not forget the bumbling VP before pence not meeting this high criteria laid out . Cheney , absolutely met the standards listed but none since .
I never appreciated how important a good VP was until I was up at night afraid of losing the president
That movie was crazy!!!! I think I watched it at least two times maybe three I don't totally want to admit that
Joe Bob for President! Darcy for VP! On a side note, I’m finishing Beyond the Door III right now. Damn good flick! Definitely in my top 10 Last Drive In movies.
