Surely one of the worst jobs in Washington is that of cleaning up after the Human Gaffe Machine, AKA Joe Biden . . .
On shovel duty today at the White House, press secretary Robert Gibbs made a laughingstock of himself as he asserted what Biden meant to say regarding swine flu. The press corps didnt merely titter at Gibbs travails. They outright laughed in his face at the press secs tortured attempt at vice-presidential revisionism.

JOE BIDEN: I wouldnt go anywhere in confined places now. Its not Mexico, its a confined aircraft where one person sneezes and it goes all the way through the aircraft: thats me. I would not be at this point, if they had another way of transportation, suggesting they ride the subway. So, what it relates to is mitigation. If youre out in the middle of a field and someone sneezes, thats one thing. If youre in a closed aircraft or closed container or closed car or closed classroom, thats another thing.

Tapper was obviously annoyed---his response was a classic and a great put-down of Gibbs tortured and insulting explanation. That answer isnt even remotely related to the question I asked........
Goofball "Barbarino" Gibbs.
Goofball Gibbs' vocabulary does not extend beyond Vinnie-isms: "What? Where? All he knows is I have no knowledge, I wasnt aware, Nobody informed me". Watta jerk. The goofball should spare us that nerdy smirk.
Insipid freewheeling fools now run our country---thinking they can say or do anything they want without explanation---like the $328,000 flyover. Their unmitigated contempt for Americans, and for our democracy, is astounding.

But what I loved (not) was Tapper saying "with all due respect..."
When did he EVER, EVER say that to a Republican ?? Nope, if it was one of Bush's press secretaries, there would never be a "with all due respect" moment, he would have gone for the jugular.

Jake Tapper is really ruffling their feathers lately. I won't be surprised if he mysteriously vanishes from the WH press corps one day.

I saw it live on FOX. It was great! I'm still trying to figure out how Gibbs "knows" what Biden "meant" to say! Can he read minds? Did Biden tell him what to say regarding his statement? And then the "reporter" (I don't really consider any White House Press Corp member to be a real reporter - it's mostly a "political" appointment, ya' know!) commented on it not being close to what he asked was great.
It'll be interesting to see how much longer he is on the WH press corp, if he doesn't end up in Fort Marcy Park soon . . . .

Joe Biden’s chronic case of foot in mouth disease (oral bromidrosis) is not getting any better. It is obvious that Joe has not been vigorously brushing his teeth three times a day with strong actin Tinactin, as ordered by Obama himself. Then he makes his predictable escape from his secret basement closet and finds the nearest reporter to breath on.
Thank you Joe! LOL

As a bonus, at 1:28 there is the world’s worst non apology apology:
“Obviously if anyone was unduly alarmed, for what ever reason, uh, we, we would apologize for that.”
TRANSLATION: If you are so stupid that you take seriously anything Joe says then we are sorry [for you].

I'm still trying to figure out how Gibbs "knows" what Biden "meant" to say! "Rahm, send me the script about what Biden "meant" to say ASAP."
"Pres Obama says make sure that idiot Biden stays off the airwaves.
No more interviews for that big-mouth screwup."
" And Rahm, the President wants five doctors, an EMT crew,
three paramedics and an ambulance parked outside the WH ......
just in case that dead Mexican infected him with swine flu."

Obama went to Mexico w/ 13 senators, staff, and Secret Service retinue.
Hillary went with her staff, Secret Service, and a crew to lug her baggage.
I just happened to see this earlier----parked outside the DNC.
Dems who went to Mexico with Obama and Hillary are on suicide watch.
