Biden: I'm in a 'gaffe-free zone'
The Hill ^ | 11/2/2009 | Eric Zimmerman

Joe Biden's pretty happy with himself for avoiding any major gaffes recently.

"You know, I'm sort of a gaffe-free zone right now, you know," he told CNN's Ed Henry in an interview airing today.

Biden's been particularly careful to avoid verbal slips recently. After almost taking a shot at Dick Cheney in a recent interview with reporters, Biden caught himself and backtraked.

"Yeah, yeah, I know. I can see the headline now," he said, according to a pool report. "I’m getting better, guys. I’m getting a little bit better, you know what I mean?"

Biden's foot-in-mouth disease has caused Obama headaches since the campaign. Just a few weeks before the election, for example, Biden said adversaries of the U.S. would generate an international crisis to test Obama.

"Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy," Biden said. "Remember I said it standing here, if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."

It’s sad that he’s proud he hasn’t screwed up for a few weeks.

Biden may as well have said: "I'm not conceited! Conceit is a flaw—and I have none!"

One of the best things that nObama has done for this country is to get bozos like Biden and Clinton out of the Senate and into a job where he can do little or no harm to the nation as a whole.

I can’t think of this guy without a vision of a “Jack In The Box” coming to mind while the song “Pop Goes The Weasel” plays in my ears.

But, you know, Biden just loves the sound of his own voice, you know.

You know, his intellect and poise are far superior to Sarah Palin’s, you know.

Joe Biden is Pelosi’s gruesome grin twin, you know!

He took one on the road with him once and the wind knocked it down where it audibly crashed. He made a comment that he didn't know how he was going to explain that to President Obama.
