Audio comedy gold: Bozo the Vice President is looking out for you

By Michelle Malkin  •  March 19, 2009 11:37 AM


The gaffetastic gift that keeps on giving.

In trying times, we can always count on Bozo the Vice President to provide some welcome comic relief. Joe Biden was The Newshour on PBS last night in full swagger — threatening to personally ride into any town or locality that wastes porkulus money. Reader Robert watched it and e-mails: “[T]hey broadcast a snippet of Biden in full Barney Fife mode warning cities and towns across America that if he found out about them wasting crapulus money on stupid things (as of course only he and the RAT board will define), he would personally come to their town and let them know what’s what. I only caught a minute of it but it was hilarious.”

Here’s the audio clip of Biden’s remarks. It’s comedy gold about 16 seconds into the clip when the audience laughs at him while asserting “I’m serious, guys. I’m serious.”

Listen:

Transcript:

JIM LEHRER: Vice President Biden had a new warning for city and county officials today: spend the federal stimulus money wisely. The officials were in Washington for a day of schooling on the $787 billion program. Biden urged them not to use it for things like swimming pools, tennis courts, or golf courses.

JOSEPH BIDEN, Vice President of the United States: Because of the rules, the president and I can’t stop you from doing some things, but I’ll show up in your city and say, “This was a stupid idea.”

You think I’m kidding? This is the only part the president was right about: Don’t mess with Joe, because I mean it. I’m serious, guys. I’m serious. I’m absolutely serious.

Ok, watch out, Pawtucket, RI. Alert the Sheriff! You are spending $500,000 in stimulus funding on a skate park, tennis courts, and basketball courts.

Joe Biden is comin’ after ya.

Serious.

    Only slightly less stupid than electing these happy@$$ morons

    Don’t blame Biden, Joe Biden is a symptom of the dumbing down of America. lgm’s retort in this thread is proof.

    It cracks me up how you try to act like 2000-2006 didn’t exist. Were you in a coma?

    TARP 1 and stimulus 1 were both under the Dem majority. The legislation intending to address the oversight issues with the mortgage industry were blocked by Dodd, Frank, and the Dems.

    No comas here. However, your blind obedience to your Dem masters and their talking points makes me think you’re brain dead.

    Biden has many problems, but the most obvious one is his lame attempts to make himself relevant. Compare, if you dare, Biden’s gravitas with that of the man he replaced as VP. One was a doer, while the other is a walking gaff machine.

    Both political parties are filled with narcissists, and the longer one of them stays in office, the more out of touch they become.

    It is rather obvious, however, that the Democrats, flush with newly found absolute power over the direction of the United States, have allowed it to overwhelm common sense.

    a problem with narcissists is that they believe they are better than everyone else. As a result when they get caught commiting crimes or making stupid blunders, they are mentally unable to take responsibility.

    Biden, your home planet Gnark called and they have revoked your interplanetary visa due to your dismal performance in your role as Gnarkian spy to planet Earth. You are hereby formally reassigned to stardusting duty in the Andromeda galaxy.

    Brain dead? :) My brain hurts sometimes when I try to figure out how your republican controlled Congress gets a pass from you for everything that occured between 2000-2006. Then I just shake my head and know, it’s okay, accountabliity doesn’t apply to Republicans when it’s easier to just blame everything on Dodd, Pelois, Reid, and Frank. You’re a m… idiot if you don’t think spending was out of control during Bush’s first term and a half, not to mention waging a stupid war that cost trillions without figuring out a way to pay for it. We’ve been China’s bi*** for quite a while now, and republicans can blame themselves as well. Of course, accountability isn’t a part of your makeup.

    Where have you ever seen me say I endorsed the out of control spending? I’ve had plenty of criticism for both parties. I’m a conservative and bad policy is bad policy regardless of who authored it.

    However, add up TARP 1 and stimulus 1 and they eclipse the prior deficit. Of course, it’s much easier for you to blame Bush for everything than actually acknowledge that the stimulus and omnibus are boondoggles to further the liberal agenda.

    How does it feel to be George Soros’ lapdog?

    I’ve been wondering. Is Biden really as stupid as he appears to be, or is it all an act? I’ve met people in my time who deliberately led others to believe they were stupid and out of touch. How else to explain the people of Delaware giving Slow-Joe a lifetime seat in the Senate? Just wondering.
