Biden on cheerleaders: ‘The stuff they do on hard wood, it blows my mind’

Vice President Joe Biden may have stuck his foot in his mouth again on Friday, using an awkward off-the-cuff phrase to compliment high school cheerleaders during a campaign stop.

According to a pool report from Biden’s stop at Newport High School in Newport, N.H., the vice president arrived to talk to “about 100 students in their sports uniforms waiting for him in a semi-circle.”

“He cradled a football under his arm as he spoke,” the pool report, written by The New York Times’ Trip Gabriel reads. “He began by asking which teams were represented — football, soccer, lacrosse and cross-country. Any others? He asked. ‘Cheerleaders,’ a group of girls shouted.”

“Guess what, the cheerleaders in college are the best athletes in college,” Biden said. “You think, I’m joking, they’re almost all gymnasts, the stuff they do on hard wood, it blows my mind.”

Clintonesque!

And he’s campaigning at a high school why? Why not campaign at a day care center? At least there’d be a better IQ match with his audience.

His comment has to make everyone chuckle a bit!

Isn’t the double standard wonderful?

To be fair, Joe Biden is the best thing on tv.

Musta meant basketball court, yeah, that's it...

Imagine how NOW and Boxer and Pelosi and DWS should act is Paul Ryan had made this comment.

WAR ON WOMEN!! WAR ON WOMEN!! WAR ON WOMEN!!

Who knew that advocating mammas murdering their babies would be would be a free pass on sophomoric misogyny.

Does anyone remember a few years back, there was a late-night show called Night Stand which was a spoof of talk-shows like Jerry Springer. The "host" was an actor named Timothy Stack, and he was always "naively" making these crazy, innueno-laden comments that the audience would crack up at, and then pretend to realize how it was misconstrued, and say, "Oh, people... come on!"

That's what I always think of whenever I hear of Biden's last .... mishaps.

There it is, the reason California universities can still get away with charging tuition for an “education”.

I’ll bet when he watches those minors doing their thing, he blows his shorts, too.

Iran's on the verge of developing a nuke and this is the most important Plugs can think of to talk about.

The stupid is strong in this one

When you set the bar this low right out of the box, it should be a sign to anyone paying attention. Joe Biden’s appointment as Veep was Obama’s first Presidential act, and the model for all the others.

LOL that was my first thought as well...a mild case of flatulence would blow his mind.

"Let me tell ya about hard wood, sheriff, it'll blow yer mind!"

All of this sexual double en tendre, day after day with both Joe and Jill Biden (and the Obamas in the act too) is carefully scripted - they are trying to impress the sexual deviants of the MSM and regain their appeal with the under 30 crowd - when all they are showing is how utterly low class and trash they are.

It’s deliberate — one more shiny item, one day closer to Nov 6.

That’s almost as good as him telling an audience “I promise you, the President has a big stick. I promise you.”
