For Joe Biden, gab is no gift. America’s garrulous vice president has a long record of verbal gaffes and a knack for saying exactly the wrong thing at the wrong time. Indeed, his flapping tongue has cost him dearly.
Biden sank his own bid for the presidency in 1988 with a series of inflated claims about his academic credentials and a partially plagiarized speech. Twenty years later, on the day he joined the 2008 presidential race, he eclipsed the news of his own candidacy and reinforced the notion that he represented the political past by describing a black challenger named Barack Obama as “clean.”
In his four months as vice president, Biden sparked an international incident with a warning that airplanes and subways should be avoided during an outbreak of swine flu; revealed the location of the secret bunker vice presidents use in times of national emergency; and claimed President Franklin D. Roosevelt went on television when the stock market crashed in 1929 even though FDR wasn’t president at the time and television wasn’t yet widely available.

” describing a black challenger named Barack Obama as “clean.”
Comments like this should pass without offending “minorities”. too much emphasis on being PC
I wonder what Joe’s security clearance level is...or if he even has one?
I’d say the gift of gab has actually served him well. It can’t be his brain or the deep thinking it has produced, his pluggian looks, or the content of his cheapskate - <.01 % -charitability - content -of -his-character, or his hedge-fund- cheating-family-connections-brother -and - son. So what’s left except the gift of gab? Impeachment insurance for BO?
These kind of comments are passed on, if a demonrat makes them.
I stopped reading at this point. A long stint as court jester doesn't qualify one to be king. This article puts a lot of lipstick on the pig, but he's still a pig.
Stooopid is what stoooopid says!
There was never such a collection of incompetent idiots parading as government as kenyan’s team. Got change?
Smokin’ Joe Biden
(We’re all wondering what he’s been smoking.)
Actually, his looks (way back when) and his first wife pulling out in front of a truck before Christmas (killing herself and their daughter, and badly injuring their sons) garnered him great sympathy from many Delawareans of the fairer sex.
At least he's around for some comic relief...
The only thing nice about Joe Biden is his smile. He has nice teeth. So does Lassie.
