Buffoonery?

Betsy Newmark calls Biden a buffoon. Hugh Hewitt calls Kennedy a buffoon.

I think they're both wrong:

1. A clown; a jester: a court buffoon.
2. A person given to clowning and joking.
3. A ludicrous or bumbling person; a fool.

There is nothing clownish, joking, or bumbling about either of them (although I will grant "foolish"). They have displayed their malice, hypocracy, and ignorance these past several days, without even a hint of eloquence to soften their egotistical screeds.

I would use words more like: barbarian, lout, philistine, cretin, boor, and perhaps even vulgarian.

Because there is nothing amusing about either of these... imbeciles.

For Biden, I prefer "plagiarist" since it's his single most enduring trait.

With Kennedy? Souse. Or perhaps perpetually drunken boor. Liar and baboon (not bufoon) also appeal.

But then, I amthe charitable sort...
