United States Vice President Joseph Biden, proving once again that he puts the "crazy" in "crazy like a fox", dressed up in a Mickey Mouse costume for a personal internet message to NSA leaker Edward Snowden, singing a new, personalized version of the Disney song: "It's a Small World (After All)". The song is believed to be criticizing or indeed perhaps even taunting and tormenting the man who revealed such embarrassing secrets about American surveillance programs at home and abroad, and who is currently on the run from American authorities. Right-to-know information groups, including Wikileaks, and human rights groups slammed the song, claiming it was intended to humiliate and intimidate Snowden, and as such is a form of mental torture. But Biden supporters have hastened to point out that with Joe Biden, you never know why the hell he might be doing something fatuous and/or ill-advised, adding: "Hey, it's crazy Joe: maybe he's just trying to inject some levity into this young man's horrifying ordeal; you never know! You can't automatically assume you know what his motives are, as he is not like other men who put their pants on one-leg-at-a-time in the morning, for Vice President Biden gets up and just somehow all-of-a-sudden has pants on." And it's this, they claim, which makes Mr. Biden so likable and effective as a leader.
Here are the lyrics to VP Biden's personalized version of the song sent to Snowden:
It's a world of terror, a world of fears,
When you mess with us, it will end in tears,
Try to run, hide your trail, but we're right on your tail,
It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all,
It's a small world after all,
It's a small world after all,
It's a small, small world.
