Another day, another Biden gaffe
Bozo the VP is at it again. The chief overseer and watchdog of your federal stimulus dollars doesn’t have a clue about the largest stimulus project in the country.
Bidenrrhea of the mouth:
That new tunnel? The one NJ Transit has been touting for years? That the Federal Transit Administration made a huge commitment to on Monday?
It’s for cars.
Or so Vice President Biden apparently thinks.
Biden had just finished telling reporters on a conference call Monday that federal stimulus money might have gone out slower in the past few months than some people liked because, “We don’t end up with any major glitches.”
Then The Record had a chance to ask about an environmental group’s complaint that Amtrak would not be able to use the new Hudson River tunnel – which is benefitting from a provision of the stimulus bill increasing the Federal Transit Administration’s debt limit — because it doesn’t go to Penn Station.
Biden said Amtrak was getting its share of stimulus money and more projects would be announced in a few days. Then he offered this:
“Look, this is designed, this totally new tunnel, is designed to provide for automobile traffic,” Biden said. “It’s something, as you know, up your way, that’s been in the works and people have been clamoring for for a long time.”
For the record, the tunnel is for trains, and its completion would allow for more NJ Transit trains during peak hours and “one-seat” rides into Midtown Manhattan on lines serving Bergen and Passaic counties. Currently riders on those lines must switch trains.
Biden’s office did not immediately respond to a request to clarify his comments.

Heh!
Planes trains and automobiles
Seriously, how long before the WON fires this guy, or locks him in a room somewhere and gives him toys to play with till 2012
Gibbs: “What he MEANT to say was… “
I’m awestruck how the dolts who voted for Biden for VP had the “audacity” to believe Palin is stupid.
Did everyone catch Palin on Hannity last night?
a heartbeat away…
Yeah, no kidding. I did watch Hannity. Palin was right on every front about this ridiculous spending, etc.
On another note, all teh BOGUS hate-Palin charges were dropped yesterday, but you wouldn’t know it by the MSM covering that inconvenient fact. They all hyperventilated when the charges were brought about, but NOTHING when all the phony charges were dropped.
Hmmm, let’s see. The torrent were all Democrat-driven, no?
ErinF, that irk’s me as well. I don’t believe Sarah Palin had become accustomed to dealing with a hostile media. Though she came around at the VP debate.
Biden is truly just an arrogant dope.
As Mr. Levin says, he is the dumbest man in the senate.
If Biden wants to drive his Buick through the tunnel, I say let ‘im.
When Biden is asked a question now shouldn’t it be started with,”Is this your final answer or are we going to need clarification later?”
You know what they say about seeing the light at the end of the tunnel…
I am a little concerned that the gaffer is a heartbeat from the Presidency; but on the other side….humor is really good for the soul….and this idiot is good for a least one laugh a day.
you’d think he’d know the difference since he used to ride trains…guess the kool aid is too much for him…
The Secret Service code name for Biden…
“Life insurance”
Biden has to be the first Congressman to have a negative IQ.
But, Spaceycakes, that could damage a perfectly good car. Especially if the Buick is a Regal Grand National GNX.
We have BHO as TOTUS, Biden 2nd and Pelosi 3rd in line for the Presidency. What a pathetic group! And now we a reaping the rewards of their leadership. It seems that the dems have more in common with jihadis; they destroy things in the name of some warped goal. We have one heck of a mess to clean up.
Obama:
Hey Joe, I’d like you to try out that new bunker we had built for you. Just step on in there…that’s right…now stand there a minute…[door slams shut]…[Obama shouts] Joe, how ya doing in there? What? No. No. Don’t worry, we’ll let you out!!
*************
Gee, what a great idea sonodfy!
“Nobody gets past Joe”
My guess, if push came to shove, is a third grader could get past Joe.
I believe Joe has already been locked in the room but he keeps talking anyway.
So this is the guy we are suppose to believe over Cheney? Something about VP Biden leads one to have confidence that HE is telling the truth and everyone in the Bush administration is/was lying?
How’s that?
Want to buy this bridge I have for sale. Its cheap and I take PayPal.
johnyd: The best protection against some nutcase shooting obama….
President Joe Biden…
SSSHHHIIIVVVEEERRRR
I guess lgm has a lot of teaching to do for his VP.
Another infuriating OT:
Firsst time in history folks. Paranoid Obama at it again. So now he’s afraid that someone from the US Naval Academy is going to assassinate him with a ceremonial sword? How utterly pathetic.
Link here:
Actually sono the bottom line is Joe would have to find the Whitehouse in order to do anything in it. Looks like he can’t find his you know what from his you know where.
Whatever happened to the investigation of Biden’s security leak?
I hear it’s the fastest way to Katie’s Diner.
And the Home Depot…which Mr. Biden now understands has nothing to do with trains…
shazaam!
What, is he worried about The Penguin?
d’oh! tre
Joe Biden: Lobotomy-Ready
The military will not assasinate a sitting president unless it has a really damn good reason. Even obama has not provided anything close to that. yet. And then they have far better was to do it than a sword.
sigh…
Yeah, ironically funny isn’t it? Cheney probably served the same purpose in the Lefist’s mind. Although, the only non-verbal attack they could muster against Bush was a pair of shoes!
Joe Biden: Lobotomy-
ReadyAlreadyAs stupid as Biden was in this statement, there’s some truth to what he said in Seattle, home of liberal policies. The city paid billions of dollars (city, county, state, federal) to design and build a new light-rail urban train system for Seattle, involving building multiple tunnels. Once it was finished, the city realized they’d run out of money, and couldn’t afford to buy any trains, engines or passenger cars. So now electric/diesel buses use the tunnels, riding over the underground rails on electric power, then changing to diesel once above ground. Idiotic and horribly wasteful of taxpayer’s money, but it’s a liberal city so they just go along with it and hop the buses without a second thought.
When I think of “gaffes” I think of people who misspeak and immediately correct themselves.
Biden doesn’t misspeak, he just makes things up. These aren’t gaffes, these are intentional misstatements of fact that he makes to pretend that knows what he’s talking about.
Gov. Palin says: “I told you so” about Obama and his policies…
Sad thing is that Biden, despite being a world class airhead, would be a considerable improvement over the jamoke that’s running the show right now.
Joe Biden: when you care enough to give the very craziest.
Starting to wonder if Biden doesn’t post on here under an alias. Lgm? I hate my country?
Don’t know if he has a Buick, but I hope he doesn’t try to drive his 67 427 Corvette, one of the coolest cars ever made, through the tunnel. I’d hate to see it ruined.
It reminds me of the scene at the beginning of “King Ralph” when the entire British Royal line is killed off in a freak photography/electrocution accident.
Oh, if only that could happen here…
Uhmmm… err… what I meant to say was… they should all get together for a group photograph. Yeah… that’s it…
[knock, knock...]
McMurphy: Who’s the head bull-goose loony around here?
McMurphy: Get out of my way son, you’re usin’ my oxygen.
My husband thinks these gaffes are intentional, he thinks Biden is doing this on purpose to make Obama look bad…it isn’t like Obama can fire him
I’d prefer PBO were locked in that vault! First, he’d do a lot less damage. Second, it would be less likely something would happen to him and leave Slow Joe as POTUS!
Watching this adminstration is like going to the movies and finding out there is nothing but cartoons and they forgot to ship the main feature.
More TEA PARTYS planned for 4th of July, two pages just for Texas alone so far. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate my freedoms on the 4th of July.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I seriously wonder if BarryO has made any secret phone calls to Cheney to ask him to take Biden on a hunting trip!
When I saw this pile of journalistic horsedump yesterday I could not believe it. Just when you think you have seen the MOST IDIOTIC, RIDICULOUS, MORONIC thing this administration can come up with, they turn around and outdo themselves again. Since the Continental Navy in 1775, Naval officers have been wearing swords. Now, for the first time in 234 years, some IDIOT throws Naval Uniform Regulations into the fire (on top of the constitution which is already burning). And WHY? Is somebody afraid of a terrorist sword attack? Talk about phobias breaking out all over.
Mr. Levin, meet Dan Akaka. Nice guy, not so sharp.
Is there some reason the CIC doesn’t trust his troops?
I don’t know, maybe someone should ask him that question. But then again, he blow that one off too.
Give the guy a break,he was a Senator for ONLY 30 years.All he knows is making deals to steal.He didn’t have time to learn anything else.
Almost as much fun as that other mental giant, Al Gore’s, attempt to save the Texas Eagle.
I guess he won’t be visiting Iraq or Afghanistan anytime soon.

Why is it the term “doo doo head” applies to so many people in the current administration?
Oh yes, I remember – they are Democrats.
There is no ‘CIC’–only the ‘TIC’.
If something would happen to Zero this guy is president? How did we get in this mess? Let’s all wwork hard to get a Republican congress so we can at least have a little check on Zero.
Republican: I’m voting for Sarah Palin for President.
Democrat: How could you say that? She has no experience, has ethics problems, and isn’t very smart.
Republican (laughing all the way to the voting booth): You mean like Obama & Biden? You voted for those 2 braniacs didn’t you? Tell me another good one. Ha Ha.
Somewhere Dan Quayle is laughing like Dr. Evil from the Austin Powers movies…
(Quick! someone ask Joe to spell more words!)
I’m getting ready to go
nuklear,nukeler,nucleary, crazy on you.As soon as I come up with a good strategery.
But these are only bad if your a republican. Fair and balanced? Only on Fox channel. Joe Biden is a moron but the people love him! Right.
