Make it his "Irish" nick name and accuse the orange hemorrhoid of being anti-celtic!

In her memoir of the unsuccessful campaign, Palin wrote: “During rehearsals, I accidentally called [her debate prep partner] Randy ‘Senator O'Biden’… We laughed about it but knew that if I said it even once during the debate, it would be disastrous. Then somebody said, ‘You ought to just call him Joe.’ ... So that's what we decided I would do. We had no idea my mic would already be hot when I walked onstage, crossed over to his turf, and said, “Can I call you Joe?”

Although "Biden" is an Angelo name, the majority of his ancestors were Irish. On his mother's side, all eight of his great-great grandparents were Irish. On his father's side, two great-great grandparents were Irish. Hence, Joe is 5/8ths Irish.

Trump's reasoning was distinct from Sarah Palin's. He thinks it is an insult. But Trump ain't a pimple on a good Irishman's ass.

She couldn’t say senator Biden without screwing it up so she asked to call him Joe before the debate started

Pres. Obama is one of the most popular presidents ever.

So O'Biden or OBiden works just fine with me!
