The Dimmest Bulb of 2008: Vice-President-elect - Joe Biden
There are a lot of reasons why congressional reporters long ago nicknamed the Delaware Democrat as "Senator Gaffe." His performance as Barack Obama's vice presidential nominee demonstrated yet again that Biden is a truly gifted goof. Here's Biden's top five goofs, as rated by About.com's Daniel Kurtzma:
5. "Look, Jon's last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the No.1 job facing the middle-class, and it happens to be, as Barak says, a three letter word: jobs, J-O-B-S, jobs."
4. "A man I'm proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next president of the United States - Barack America!" - Joe Biden, at his first campaign rally with Barack Obama.
3. "When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened." - Joe Biden, apparently unaware that FDR wasn't president when the stock market crashed in 1929 and that only experimental TV sets were in use at that time.
2. "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." Joe Biden, speaking at a town hall meeting in Nashua, N.H.
1. "Stand up, Chuck, let 'em see you." Joe Biden, to Missouri State Sen. Chuck Graham, who is in a wheelchair, Columbia, Missouri, Sept. 12, 2008.
Always good for a laugh - although I still get upset when I hear people tell me that Sarah Palin scared them and recall everything that Biden did and said...
He’s been replaced by some guy in Chicago.
I’d think the *President-Elect* is in the top three somewhere.
He is just an LED bulb.
Gore loves him.
Heck, my favorite didn’t even make the top five, the one where Joe goes home to talk with the folks in a popular restaurant that closed 20 years ago.
Mine didn’t make it either: GIRD YOUR LOINS... there were prob. too many and they had to make a decision... too costly to post them all in the paper :)
Obama has had everything handed to him on a silver platter from his degree, to his house, to the presidency.
People who have never been irritated , irritate easy; such as when he threw reporters off his plane.
This country is in deep doodoo!
#1, Article One of the Us Constitution specifies the role of the Vice President ....
#2, When we kicked Hezbollah out of Syria ....
I really enjoy “Stand up Chuck!”
I’ve heard it a gazillion times and I laugh every single time.
Thanks for the laughs Joe!
“I’d think the *President-Elect* is in the top three somewhere.”
It’s a foundation of the “Eloi Nation” (Wells’ Time Machine)
Then I guess I’ll be a Morlok.
And while I blanch at the idea of eating a demonrat, at least I know they are usually organically fed livestock.
It appears that the DC and Baltimore Examiner are the same paper?

Phillby: I wonder if we’ll ever go too far.
Hartdegen: With what?
Phillby: With this. With all of this.
Hartdegen: No such thing.
Look for the tofu label
(nice rapid comeback, btw)
Your link didn’t go to the article so I did a google search and that link came up.
Cool - Thanks Then! :)
Also missed his sheer hallucination about Hezbollah, France and Lebanon. Can you imagine if Sarah Palin had said such ridiculous things?
