I'm sick to death of those Starbucks sipping elitists!

1. A 9-car motorcade for a cup of coffee

That's about as good as not knowing how many houses you own. And this in contrast to Joe Biden, who takes the train from Washington to his home in Delaware.

3. Won't Biden now have Secret Service

7. Yeah, I thought of that too.

But he remained as much of a "regular guy" as anyone in government can up until the point that his security will no longer allow it.

4. 7 houses and he can't afford a decent espresso maker? n/t

2. "Cappuccino Conservative Elitist"

That has sticking power!

5. Well, now we know why he wants to drill for oil.

If it took you nine cars to get a cup of coffee, you'd want to drill for oil too.
