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.
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.

Loose Biden’s sink ships.
What a dumb-ass.
Just when you think he couldn’t do anything stupider, he talks again. There is no end to this mans ignorance.
I think we all know now why Obama picked him, he’s his insurance policy, even if somebody wanted to go after Obama, they won’t because they know they’d get stuck with Biden as POTUS.
Hopefully, somebody (ies) is playing biden as a useful? idiot.
Who would bet either way that this sh!tbird could even fvckup w/o fvckingup?????
How long will it be before these gaffes and actual policies get someone killed?
Axelrod must think he’s in heaven, what with all the freaking side-show antics of biden to keep the people distracted.
A bunker underneath his home isn’t that much of a stretch. He shouldn’t have said anything but this isn’t exactly shocking news
I heard that for Biden, they’ve now moved the location to the maximum security wing of Bellevue.
Biden, the colossal buffoon! Good pick on that one Obama! What were you thinking?....Let me find a village idiot worse than Howard Dean?....
“I think we all know now why Obama picked him, he’s his insurance policy, even if somebody wanted to go after Obama, they won’t because they know they’d get stuck with Biden as POTUS.”
Using this same line of reasoning, and as incredible as it may seem, even Joe Biden himself has an insurance policy: Nancy Pelosi.
No doubt they will be on Biden’s security detail. Would not want to be those guys. Biden’s so dense if he was under attack he’d be pointing out the locations of his secret service guys to the attackers.
Biden: “Bob, you’re not going to be safe taking cover behind that cabinet.” BLAM BLAM BLAM “Oh crap they just shot Bob!”
Man I think we need to start raying for the guys guarding these folks.
In an unrelated story, Joe Biden has been moved to an undisclosed padded room with all sharp instruments removed.
Great.
We have a muslim president, an idiot for a vice-president and a pathological liar for speaker of the house.
God help us!
Biden isnt even useful

"In December 2002, neighbors complained of loud construction work being done at the Naval Observatory, which has been used as a residence by vice presidents since 1974."
Which is it?? Was it there prior to September 2001 or after December 2002??? Journalists need to take some basic writing classes.
The topper is that Biden revealed the info as a slam against Cheney. What a dope...playing the bigshot again.
I guess they’ll just have to sit him in a corner with a pointy hat on.
Dopier than Obuma....and that’s pretty bad.
This revelaton has already made Wikipedia:

What a dumb A**. I wonder if he is also telling his dinner guests the secret codes to the “football”?
That's basically a toss-up. If I had to pick between Biden and Pelosi for POTUS, I'd just flip a coin. Both are dangerously stupid, and to essentially the same degree. Actaully I'd probably lean towards Biden because at least he can be made to look physically presentable. Pelosi's got that self-inflicted botox-monster look that's instinctively scary to any normal person. If we had to have a dangerously stupid POTUS, might as well have one in a normal-looking package.
And even with this bunch of idiots, including Obama, We still lost the election.God help us.

Stand up Bob! Stand up!
Shut up, Chuck.
Thank God he doesn’t have access to the codes to launch nuclear war or he would be sending that along with his Holiday cards.
I’d rather have an incompetent fool as president than a competent Marxist.
Joe didn’t notice that they had a brand-new door put in just for him. Locks from the outside.

I came to the same conclusion (that Biden would not be as bad as Pelosi), but for a different reason. Biden is stupid, but I don’t think he’s evil. Biden actually seems like a nice guy. I think he essentially wants what is best for the country even if he’s too stupid to make the correct decisions to that end. Pelosi is stupid, but is also missing whatever kindness that at least Biden seems to have. I have the impression that she could be a very spiteful and vindictive person, Hillary Clinton seems quite pleasant by comparison.
right on !
Thinking back I recall they were beefing up an existing bunker in 2002.
A senior military official said Rivera was expelled because he sketched a future military operation.
It’s getting to the point where Republicans/conservatives may need to shift focus from “President Obama is dangerous to the nation” to “VP Biden is dangerous to the nation”. This is beyond just a stupid “gaffe”.
Good point. You have to wonder how stupid and soulless the press is to present these two as “intelligent”.
Biden is a continuing embarrassment, the drunk at the bar who never shuts up, but this bunker was about as secret as BO’s teleprompter. The neighbors were all complaining about the noise during the construction and were “quietly” told what it was. That Cheney was in an “undisclosed location” was simply a joke.
Biden is so stupid, he is giving stupid people a bad name.
God willing, he has gone as far as he will EVER go in politics although, I have to admit, as stupid as he is, he isn’t as dangerous as Zero.
Too bad that's likely the only similarity. Cleveland, who vetoed lots of "private" spending bills, as well as any bill that required exercise of powers not granted by the Constitution.
He lost his first bid for relection, although he won the popular vote. He ran again in 1892.
Elected again in 1892, Cleveland faced an acute depression. He dealt directly with the Treasury crisis rather than with business failures, farm mortgage foreclosures, and unemployment. He obtained repeal of the mildly inflationary Sherman Silver Purchase Act and, with the aid of Wall Street, maintained the Treasury's gold reserve.
During his first term:
Cleveland vigorously pursued a policy barring special favors to any economic group. Vetoing a bill to appropriate $10,000 to distribute seed grain among drought-stricken farmers in Texas, he wrote: "Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the Government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character. . . . "
Cleveland was also a bachelor when elected, but married 21-year-old Frances Folsom in 1886, when he was 48 or 49. They eventually had 5 children.
Must have had "something".
(Quotes from his White House biography.
He is the only president reelected for a second term after first losing a reelection bid, and the only one to be married in the White House. (but not the only one to be married while in office, the first being John Tyler (54) who married Julia Gardiner (24) Clevaland likely fathered a child out of wedlock many years before he entered politics.
"Ooopsie. My bad."
Yeah Biden is even worse than Obama and that’s saying a lot. Both make a very awful team. If Obama were impeached, if that ever happened, I’d be equally upset Biden would take over. Hell, all Three Obama, Biden, and Pelosi frighten me. Pure idiots. In these 100 plus days, since this regime took over, all three have shown how dumb they are in more ways than one.
Biden could very well give our secrets out to our enemies. That could be next.
Ping.
Did you hear about this? Is there no end to the increase of this guy’s st00pidity?
Yes I did and as Rush was just saying about Nanzi PullhoseC, the media never every says a word to them for their buggery.
Dumb as a rock!
That one gets my vote for Post of the Evening!
