Joe Biden's most recently reported gaffe was supposed to have occurred at a Gridiron Dinner in which he revealed the location of the undisclosed location where Dick Cheney was stationed immediately after the 9/11/01 terrorist attacks. Nice going, Joe.
Biden is wealth of material for bloggers, and for our convenience, Fox has compiled a "list of 14 amusing yet cringe-worthy 'Bidenisms' made during the vice president's more recent political career." Link.
My favorite:
-- At a Sept. 10, 2008, town hall meeting in Nashua, N.H., Biden said, "Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me."
Runner up:
-- On Jan. 31, 2007 -- the day Biden announced his presidential bid -- the Delaware Senator was roundly criticized for calling Obama "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
Say it ain't so, Joe. Via Madville.
Of course, Biden's main job is to be ready to take over as President should Obama die, resign or be removed. Picture that, President Joe Biden, leader of the free world, with no one around to shush him up.
Speaking of presidential succession (PDF), should anything happen to both Obama and Biden then the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, takes the job. Should anything happen to all three, then the President Pro Tempore of the Senate becomes President. So 91 year old Robert Byrd, currently residing in a hospital, is three heart attacks away from the presidency.
Take your vitamins, Mr. Obama. And ditch the cigarettes.
