The Official Joe Biden "open mouth, insert foot" thread

[Nitro Express]

It's a big fucking deal because Biden probably bought lot's of healthcare stocks.

[sadaist]

Oh, the nerve of that man whispering! It's good to see Fox having their finger on the pulse of what passes for quality news these days.

How is it Fox News' fault? They were broadcasting the whole ceremony. Every station showed this. If they didn't broadcast it you would rip them for that too. Make up your dang mind.


"This guy is a major league asshole"

"oh yeah, big time"

I vaguely remember a shit storm on that one too.

"This is a big phucking deal"

He was only continuing their earlier conversation about who has the bigger schlong.

You didn't hear what the President said, did you?
He said, "Dream on white boy".

I think Kristy may have been assuming that the story that accompanied ELVIS' post was from Fox News. Since he didn't post a link, it's unclear. But the story is pretty ridiculously slanted even for Fox, so I suspect it's from a different conservative blog/paper.

Guess you missed the "FOX News" logo in the corner of the video?

No, the video is clearly from Fox - but the story that accompanied it isn't. Right?

Harldy a "shitstorm"

But there's a huge difference between calling a reporter a slur, and saying legistlation is a big fucking deal....

Wish Biden had said "Boener's a major league asshole" instead....

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I think it's hilarious....

Frankly, I'd rather hear him "swear like a Sailor" (present party included) than some pompous Thurston Howell III-wannabe....

[lesfunk]

Well, the way I see it, It's fair for Biden to say it is a "Bug fuckin' Deal" cuz it is.
Also From what I know of reporters, That guy Bush was referring to probably was a " Major League Asshole"

[lesfunk]

Well, We're gettin' our "Change" regardless whether we want it our not

[Unchainme]

people swear.

I still think Biden is a bit of an idiot and a blowhard (I respect that he holds the office of VP, just don't like his politics), but I don't see the big deal in it.

I do find it funny with the amount of screw ups he's done. The "Stand up Chuck" line, is still pretty hillarious.

[sadaist]

Yeah idiot. Fox was broadcasting the ceremony.

[BigBadBrian]

Much ado about nothing.

Move along, people.

[Nitro Express]

I would say taking over 1/5th of the US economy and looting the American people is a big deal. The thing is this whole healthcare scam is doomed to fail. They don't have the money for it now. Asia has stopped lending and are dumping US bonds as I speak. They can have the big war machine or they can have healthcare but they can't have both. So they are just going to take people's money for some promises they can't finance.

[Nitro Express]

The government took over General Motors. Is the federal government going to force me to buy a GM car or the IRS will fine me?

people swear.

Not like any of these industries were already fucking themselves out of existence way before Obama came along.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I'm always curious when I hear the complaints about the government taking this and that over....

Let's say for a second that this is Nov. 2008, McCain won the election, and now you continue to have a Republican in the White House with that shitstorm that your Republican predecessor left you....

OK, your turn... Just what the hell would you (McCain) have done ?? Assuming McCain didn't give TARP money, just what exactly would he have done with the banking fiasco ?? Are you just going to let GM fail ??

Seriously, because I've never heard anyone really say it, what would Republicans do differently ??

[lesfunk]

Nothing. They'd fuck us just as hard. Which is why I wonder why everyone around loves Obama so much and hates Bush. Hating Bush I understand. But loving Obama?

Eh..The people posing as republicans wouldn't have done much differently auctually.

Especially McCain...and can you imagine how quickly he probably would have muzzled Palin after the election?

Palin I would have hate seeing handling that as well.

I just don't like the way the two bills were handled. TARP just seemed to be only about temporary jobs on publics works projects. Whats supposed to happen when they are done on the project within 2-3 years lets say?

And I'm uncomfortable bailing out a car company, I hate saying it, but I would have let them go under and have a better company buy up their assets and see a new north american company take it's place. And I despise saying that, as I know it employs so many people, but the piss poor management by the heads of the company ultimately led to it's downfall.

[hambon4lif]

I don't necessarily love Obama. I actually pity him more than anything. Who the fuck else would volunteer to be the captain of the Titanic after it hits the iceberg??

The "President Of The United States" used to be an aspiration of gleamy-eyed kids everywhere......those days are long gone.

while i completely agree with you in principal, the unemployment factor if they tanked woulda been crazy, i don't see any north american company, new or old, taking it's place. existing models woulda gained a bigger piece-o-da-pie, and sure as hell nobody keepin' the factories open here stateside.

I do handwriting analyses and Nancy Pelosi's signature shows a person of detail and Obama's signature shows a person that likes attention and has a big ego.

I know there's already a thread about this that ELVIS started, but this wonderful thread hasn't seen any action since last July....so let's add Joe's "F-bomb" at the health care bill signing....just for fun...

I thought this was about ol Joe declaring Irish Prime Minister's mother as dead when she was still alive, oh right your father recently died. OOOPS! (see above).

Russia is doing better since Putin kicked the western bankers out of there. The same people who are screwing the US and Europe right now. Russia is part of the Shanghai Coorperative Organization which will be the world's most powerful trading organization in the future. Russia is aligning itself with the emerging Asian economy and has a lot of oil and energy resources. It's going to be fine. Where is the US going to be when the Federal Reserve goes broke and nobody with lend money to the defunct federal government? The US has to borrow money from China even to do a cash for clunkers program.

Actually you are right in the fact that the more handwriting there is the supposedly more accurate you are because people think more about how their signature looks; especially, public figures but you still can see a person's personality in their signature. Gene Simmons signs his signature with a dollar sign for example. That's a pretty accurate indicator of Gene's personality.

Eddie Van Halen's signature shows a person who is kind of random, with a low attention span. From what I hear he is that way.
