Vice President Joe Biden and his wife Jill were more than an hour and a half late to dinner at the home of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday night.

There was speculation that the tardiness may have been related to an announcement today that Israel would advance housing construction in East Jerusalem, a move Biden strongly condemned in a written statement earlier in the evening.

He better be glad he wasn’t an hour and a half late to my house. He would have arrived to a locked door. Goodbye Joey!

[2ndDivisionVet]

Maybe he was at his own bris?

[Army Air Corps]

Maybe Joe was hammered.

[Chet 99]

hope they spit on his food

[SoldierDad]

Perhaps busy with an intern???

[Jet Jaguar]

I think he was using map software that showed Israel labeled as Palestine.

He can blame it on TomTom.

[americanophile]

Reeks of arrogance. Netanyahu would have been completely justified in canceling and should have. You have no friend in this administration Israel...watch your back.

[Tex-Con-Man]

Bibi makin’ nice with the Russkies...now this.

Maybe he's trying to let Obama know that this U.S.- Israeli thing is a 2-way street.

[americanophile]

hahahaha!

[Southack]

It took them that long to decide if Biden was supposed to skip or attend the dinner... “the Decider” 0bama is not.

[Jet Jaguar]

Thank you.

I’ll be here all week.

And don’t forget to tip the drink girls!

[americanophile]

I often enjoy your posts.

P.S. please post image of said drink girls.

She will appreciate it.

Thanks again!

It’s past time for American Jews to wake up and see that the Democrats are not their friends and they are not Israel’s friends.

[AGreatPer]

"It’s past time for American Jews to wake up"

They are. I see/hear it all the time. People that I thought would never change - are.

Still a long way to go.

[Mack Truck]

How rude to be so tardy. A state dinner is not a time to be Biden one’s time.

[Chet 99]

[Cincinna]

And Hillary nowhere to be seen.

Hillary is lying low, handing out cell phones in S America, while Obama & Co sell Bibi and Israel down the river.

And who were Hill’s most steadfast supporters? Jewish women. No more FJBs for our gal Hill; it will be back to the Jewish step grandfather as quick as you can say byebye Huma.

When the time is right, and it will come sooner rather than later, ol’ Hillary will fly in on her broom and try to sweep up the nomination for 2012.

Incredible. . .it is tiresome; but had this been Cheney...Of course, and for sure; even with all his heart issues; can bet that Cheney NEVER pulled one like this - ever! A consumate Profesional in the best sense. Biden otoh. . .has not a clue to what it all means. And the entire world knows it. PATHETIC!

[freekitty]

These people are fools. Silly fools.

[freekitty]

Referring to Biden, of course.

[trailboss800]

Can Joe even tell time? Slipping in and out of consciousness as he does, I doubt he's aware if it's day or night.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Ol’ Unkie Joe was late cuz he enjoyed himself so much at the earlier Palestinian meetings.

What the hey, they are what matters most. Those nasty Israeli's are messing up the peace. They should be thankful that Joe even made it at all.

[Right Wing Assault]

“Oh, hi Joe. We ate already, but if you’re hungry there are still a few things in the fridge. Help yourself. We’re going to bed, but feel free to watch TV. Here’s the remote. Nite, nite!”

[Joe Boucher]

Maybe?
Joe Biden is a drunk.

Jerk.

[dforest]

I don’t feed people if they show up 2 hours late. If they call to say they will be late and the reason is decent, that is a different matter.

[norwaypinesavage]

This administration truly needs some adult supervision.

[Quix]

Too bad the Senate couldn’t try him for treason and direct that the bombay doors be opened over the Atlantic from a high altitude as a fitting consequence for treasonous incompetence to the max.

[ConservativeWarrior]

The only thing worse that having dinner with someone you don’t like, is having to WAIT to have dinner with someone you don’t like.

This reminds me of The Office episode where the boss tricked employees into having dinner with him at his house. When the guests arrived, they learned that dinner was just put in the oven, and would be ready in 3 hours.

[Karliner]

Maybe he was at his own bris?

That would imply he has more than a foreskin.

[AnalogReigns]

It would have been funny if they had gone ahead and eaten...and Biden & Co. arrived as the waiters were clearing off desert dishes...

“Sorry Joe, dinner is served when dinner is served!”

[Slings and Arrows]

At Joe Biden’s bris they threw out the baby and saved the foreskin.

Ya think?

[ichabod1]

Sad as it is to say, I WISH frickin hillary were president now.

[ichabod1]

At least she knows what the F she’s doing.

[ichabod1]

No doubt - remember the images of Cheney sitting outside at auschwitz in the blinding blizzard, wearing a parka in one small concession to his health? I LOVE Dick Cheney, and it grieves me terribly when people put him down. Where can we get one like him with a good heart and not quite so many miles?

[ichabod1]

I expect that the poster who speculated that Biden was on the phone with Washington while they dithered about what to do about the Israeli announcement on the apartment complexes was closest to correct. The Netanyus were probably tickled pink to think of old Joe and the BO admin steppin and fetchin like their toes was on fire and they @sses wuz ketchin.

She's probably just waiting for the right reason to resign to kick off her run for 2012.

I've long been predicting that it would be an Israel-related issue.

Hillary and Obama: same ideology, both Alinsky disciples. Just a different style of transforming America. Different means to the same end.
