Biden as Hercules

“Gird your loins,” .”Biden told the crowd. “We’re gonna win with your help, God willing, we’re gonna win, but this is not gonna be an easy ride. This president, the next president, is gonna be left with the most significant task. It’s like cleaning the Augean stables, man. This is more than just, this is more than – think about it, literally, think about it – this is more than just a capital crisis, this is more than just markets. This is a systemic problem we have with this economy.”

Excuse me Sen. Biden, but don’t you think a politician referring to the most famous S##T shoveling job in history is just a bit ironic?

p.s.  Joe, comparisons between the current financial mess and the mess in the Augean stables would be figurative not literal, man.
