Biden Fumbles Clinton Oath
FoxNews ^ | February 3, 2009

Posted on 02/03/2009 6:18:06 AM PST by rightwingintelligentsia

Mockery of and apologies to the Supreme Court chief justice aside, Vice President Biden on Monday learned how difficult it is to deliver an oath of office.

The vice president fumbled his words while swearing in Hillary Clinton as secretary of state in a mock ceremony held at Foggy Bottom.

After smoothly saying and having Clinton repeat that she does "solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic," Biden, who was using a note card, faltered.

"... that I will bear -- excuse me ... that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same ..."

He then continued without incident after a hearty laugh from the audience.

Can anyone in this administration speak in complete sentences without the use of a teleprompter?

Maybe they should bring in former President Bush to deliver the oath.

But Dan Quayle mis-spelled "potato"!

Well, OK, Quayle smoothly and flawlessly read the spelling off the notecard which he had been handed. The card was wrong -- but he read it right. Biden's card was correct, but Biden read it wrong.

I think the takeaway here is that Republicans are dumb. [/s]

You can dress ‘em up, but you can’t take ‘em out.

(By “take ‘em out”, this old saying means no matter how fancy you fix ‘em up, they’ll still be the same idiots they were before.)

Let's all joing in and sing the Joe Biden Theme Song (or at any rate, the theme song I have chosen for him):

Rats of Reality - by the Circle Jerks

fading vision of a life unlived
you don't regret a single thing you did
don't wanna push the button
don't wanna be dead
just got to feed the creature inside your head

no no no you got no brains
inside that thick skull
the rats of reality have eaten them all

one more hit down the left field wall
can't see what's real or fantasy at all
still have your immorals
but they're hidden today
it doesn't matter, your brains in decay

no no no you got no brains
inside that thick skull
the rats of reality have eaten them all

fought the real ones, illusions too
so depressed, don't know what to do
forget about angels, devils as well
there's only you, and all the rats in hell

no no no you got no brains
inside that thick skull
the rats of reality have eaten them all

...

I just can't help it - that song starts running through my head the minute I see/hear/hear about Joe Biden.

All he needs is a knee to sit on.
