Bozo the VP botches line of succession

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 20, 2010 07:55 PM

On the campaign trail with sinking Ohio Democrat Gov. Ted Strickland today, VP Joe Biden claimed he was “second” in the line for succession to the presidency. CBS veteran political reporter Mark Knoller noted the flub on Twitter. But it somehow didn’t make any of the other news coverage of his appearances.

Bidenrrhea of the mouth from the increasingly erratic, super-gaffetastic former Senator from Delaware has always gotten an MSM pass.

If he were a brown-haired Republican woman, of course, this would be leading the nightly news…

    I guess Smirky mixed his metaphors (or something like that). He probably meant to say he was “second in command”. He’s really FIRST in line to succeed OweBowMao.

    The only insurance policy ‘Bambi had/has/needed was in VP Biden (numero uno idiot in chief). Doesn’t get any better than that. Absolutely no one, wants to see him in the big Oval.

    Watching Biden is like watching Inspecter Clouseau(sp?) track down the Pink Panther in the 147th rerun.

    Of course, there’s no worry for succession with Obrainless. What Bozo-Joe should have said was the truth: he’s assassination insurance.

    Ummm, I’m pretty sure Biden knows he’s next in line. Obama is 1st, since he is, you know, currently the president.

    Ummm, I’m pretty sure if Obrainless is president, then Biden is 1st in line of succession. Just think of it as the Miss America pagent. The 1st runner-up takes over if M.A. can’t; not the 2nd runner-up.

    Dolt.

    I’ll bet Sarah Palin knows who’s in line after the president, but no, everybody said she’s too stupid to be VP, only a heartbeat away from the presidency. Joe Biden is just one big insurance policy…very smart of Obama to pick him instead of Hillary, or by now Barack would have to be staffing extra protection from the Clintonistas.

    He’s not the only one who gets a pass from the MSM. From Obama’s “57 states” to Hillary coming under “sniper fire”, the MSM just isn’t interested in gaffes by democrats. Can you imagine how much play the MSM would give Palin if she had made the 57 states comment, or had said that “jobs” was a three-letter word? We would never hear the end of it.

    If you’re a democrat, you can dabble in cocaine and still become president. Even if you admit to it in your autobiography, the MSM won’t mention it during your campaign. And if someone else dares bring it up, they will defend you by calling it ancient history. They will explain it as a perfectly understandable youthful indiscretion that happened a long, long time ago.

    But, if you’re a republican and you date a witch in high school, it will become front page news 24/7. And then the MSM will treat you with contempt — as someone who couldn’t possibly be a serious candidate for office. The double standard is obvious to everyone except to those on the left who benefit from the special treatment.

    I guess when one is a liberal, their grasp of the English language automatically becomes dimmed. What about the word “succession” confuses you? If the president were to die, or be otherwise removed from office, the FIRST person who would succeed him would be the Vice President, not the SECOND. The President wouldn’t succeed HIMSELF.

    Oh, this is such fun! I’ll bet that Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann wish that they could laugh with us at how idiotic this duo in the White House are. Sadly for them, they are forced to side with the fools and idiots.

    Joe: Hilary, let go of that phone. Security…..

    Hilary: Don’t make me call Bill Joe. I’m not sure what he’ll do but I can assure you there will be some part of your body that will need ice.

    Joe: SecuRITY

    Hilary: I’m calling Nancy right now and we’re going to have a sit in the Oval Office until you realize Joe I AM the President.

    Joe: SECURITY

    So I’m thinking Joe just might be on to something.

    Biden was actually correct. Does anyone think that Michelle Obama is going anywhere? She already thinks of herself as a copresident and her royal trip to Spain to be feted and to stay at five star hotels is only the latest manifestation of her egomania and her sense of herself as a copresident. This feeling of grandiosity is typical of people who go to Princeton and then to Harvard Law and then to the Waspy and elitist law firm of Sidley and Austin. There is a sense of being a master of the universe and the Obamas are exhibit A. When she refuses to leave the White House, Katie Couric and Meredith Viera and all the “sisters” in the MSM will cry sexism and racism.
