The Idiot Abroad: Joe Biden Unchained

Joe Biden owns the mouth that launched a thousand slips.  And by tomorrow, it’ll most likely be a thousand and one.  Joe, you see,  is the master of the verbal pratfall, a man who never encountered a lexical banana peel upon which he didn’t immediately slip.  He’s Ed Norton, Cosmo Kramer, Reverend Jim, and Ted Baxter all rolled into one inimitable idiot; a man who leaves no gaffe behind:

He called Obama “President Clinton,” called Romney “President Romney,” suggested the Irish drink too much, crossed himself in front of a meeting of over 1,000 conservative rabbis, and paid a visit to Florida’s “Evergators,” as he put it. (White House Dossier)

Why, just this week he mistook one state for another, forgot the century in which he lives, and told a group of black Americans that Mitt Romney wanted to put them back in chains. Clueless Joe. And he’s only a heartbeat away — not from the Hair Club For Men, as any casual observer might suspect, but from the presidency of these entire disunited United States.
