Milwaukee Custard Shop Manager Tells VP Joe Biden “Lower Our Taxes”- Video
YouTube ^ | Saturday June 26, 2010

Posted on 06/26/2010 4:54:34 PM PDT by Bigtigermike

Vice-President Joe Biden at Kopp’s Frozen Custard in the Milwaukee area, where he was appearing with Democrat Sen. Russ Feingold.

The two were eating custard there, and when Biden approached the manager with some money and asked, “What do I owe you,” the manager just responded, “Lower our taxes and we’ll call it even.”

Biden later jokingly called the manager a “smart-ass,” telling him, “Why don’t you say something nice?”

Biden was clearly not expecting that! Great response!

Can we get this guy on the county board to replace (geographically challenged) Peggy West?

You'd think an experienced politician and so-called "man of the people" like Biden would answer “we're working on it, buddy!” instead of standing speechless, getting pissed, and then turning back around to call the poor guy a “smart ass”.

Things must be really tense behind closed doors in the White House. That seems basically a scripted line by the manager, and Biden whiffed the softball lobbed at him.

“Vice President Dan Quayle puts an E on the end of potato”

Which is actually a correct alternative way to spell it.

What the shop manager should have said: “BITE ME.”

And Biden just ignored him and turned away.

How rude.

How typical.

Biden later jokingly contacted the Internal Revenue Service and jokingly directed an audit of the manager’s last 7 years’ worth of returns.

Ya know, a custard shop manager would be preferable to the (alleged) Yale Law Review Editor and Alinskyite we’ve got in the White House now ...

Biden should be fed to Rahm Emanuel for Rahm’s last meal as Chief of Staff.

The smartest guy in the room has spoken.

Bravo Zulu to the manager for having the guts to ask ole Joe the question.

Why do people get so gaga over these politicians?

He wouldn’t have to worry about me calling him out. I would refuse service to that a-hole, or any known Democrat/Communist.

I can’t stand their pompous attitude and energy.

I never understood fanaticism. Biden is just another f-ing power mongering politician. He doesn’t deserve our civility, let alone our respect.

I always tell people when they call me a “Smart-ass”, “I would rather be a smart-ass than a dumb-ass.”

We’ll be seeing news reports about this person’s private life and finances any day now.

It took Biden a while to get to “jokingly”. The manager said what he said jokingly and Biden walked off without a gracious response (big smile and “I’ll see what I can do” would suffice). He came across as miffed.
