Joe Biden And His Amazing Flapping Gums
By Wyatt Earp | May 18, 2009
Good Lord, does this guy ever shut the hell up?
Vice President Joe Biden, well-known for his verbal gaffes, may have finally outdone himself, divulging potentially classified information meant to save the life of a sitting vice president.
According to a report, while recently attending the Gridiron Club dinner in Washington, an annual event where powerful politicians and media elite get a chance to cozy up to one another, Biden told his dinnermates about the existence of a secret bunker under the old U.S. Naval Observatory, which is now the home of the vice president.
Okay, for the record, I think it’s safe to assume that most people figured there were bunkers for the president and the vice president. Of course, having the vice president blab all about it is probably not the smartest thing Crazy Joe has ever done.
The bunker is believed to be the secure, undisclosed location former Vice President Dick Cheney remained under protection in secret after the 9/11 attacks.
Eleanor Clift, Newsweek magazine’s Washington contributing editor, said Biden revealed the location while filling in for President Obama at the dinner, who, along with Grover Cleveland, is the only president to skip the gathering.
Grover Cleveland. I loved him on Sesame Street.
According to the report, Biden “said a young naval officer giving him a tour of the residence showed him the hideaway, which is behind a massive steel door secured by an elaborate lock with a narrow connecting hallway lined with shelves filled with communications equipment.”
Clift continued: “The officer explained that when Cheney was in lock down, this was where his most trusted aides were stationed, an image that Biden conveyed in a way that suggested we shouldn’t be surprised that the policies that emerged were off the wall.” (H/T - FOXNews)
Isn’t it just delicious when someone like Joe Freakin’ Biden tries to say that someone else is incompetent? And as far as the “off the wall policies” issue is concerned, show me anyone in this country who wasn’t freaking out in the days after September 11th.
The problem is that Joe Biden says and does things that are “off the wall” every single day, and we have to deal with his idiocy for another three and a half years.

“Grover Cleveland. I loved him on Sesame Street.”
That’s funny right there.

I think the KGB already knows this, but he probably has convinced them to up the targeted bomb yeild for the Washington DC area and go for the ground penetrating burst versus the air burst.

GroovyVic - Thank you, I’ll be here all week. Try the veal!
Doghouse - He’s grinning like the cat that ate the nuclear launch codes.
Jon - Oh, I don’t think this was a great secret, but the problem is with Joe broadcasting the details. It’s just a dumb thing to do.

Like any bad guy doesn’t know that the ideal target zone would be around the Interstate- 81 (I-81) corridor in N. Virginia’s rural Shenandoah Valley 70 miles west of Washington D.C.. I assume no one can get to them underground but what about the millions topside?

I’ll raise your Joe Biden by our John Prescott.

The man’s a walking time-bomb… a clear and present danger to this country, and should be charged for giving secret information away and thereby giving aid to our enemies.

He has set the new standard for incompetence.

Biden won’t last 3.5 years. History of aneurysms indicates another will strike and it will be debilitating.
Guess who’s next in line?
Botox Babe, Nancy PeeLousy.
The Baracktracker better watch his back if that happens.
