Joe Biden: Gaffe Machine

Oops, he did it again...


Open mouth...insert gaffe.

Nancy Pelosi is confused.

No wonder she passes laws she doesn't understand.

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) confused two of our founding documents — the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.  (You know...those pieces of paper every school kid in America is supposed to learn about...) She gave her version at a Center for American Progress event.



Her gaffe wasn't the only eyebrow-raising thing Ms. Pelosi said. (Read more here.)

"Inside baseball"...

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) gives a speech...references the "National Mets."


Maybe someone should give ol' Harry another shot of Geritol.

Of course, ol' Harry could be taking a cue from the late "Lion of the Senate," Teddy Kennedy...



Let's hear it for "Mike McGwire and Sammy Sooser!"

Getting our money's worth?

The latest from the Gaffe-inator (aka: VP Joe Biden): "You Pay Me A Lot Of Money."

For whatever it's worth, Mr. Biden says he's still “Middle Class Joe.”

“I’m the kid from Scranton who just climbed out of a coal mine with a lunch bucket in his hand,” he adds.

Joe Biden: God's gift to comedy...

The Return of the Gaffe-inator!

Vice President Joe Biden: the gift of comedy (that keeps on giving)!

While addressing voters in Iowa on the campaign trail, Biden mistakenly referred to Scott Community College President Dr. Theresa Paper as "Dr. Pepper."

Good thing he's a "heartbeat away from the presidency," right?

Late add/Biden bonus: In Biden's speech, he said that Mitt Romney is "consistently wrong."

The Gaffe-inator Strikes Yet Again!

Vice President Joe Biden - the gift (of gaffe) that just keeps on giving.

Listen closely to the clip below as the King of Amtrak does his best politically incorrect version of an Indian accent during his speech in New Hampshire.

You go, Joe!

'Another embarrassing foreign policy gaffe'

President Barack Obama did the right thing when he condemned the storming of the British Embassy in Tehran on Tuesday. The sovereign soil was violated "by thugs acting at the behest of the Iranian regime."

There was some concern, seeing as how the president "has been notoriously slow in the past to criticise the brutal actions of the Iranian government after initially extending the hand of friendship to it."

Unfortunately, his comments were marred by yet "another embarrassing foreign policy gaffe while doing so.

"In a press conference this evening, the president referred in stumbling fashion to the 'English Embassy' in Iran instead of the British Embassy. (See video below.) In case the president is unaware, England forms part of Great Britain, which also includes Scotland and Wales, though not Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. There is no such thing as an 'English' embassy anywhere in the world, and there hasn’t been one for several centuries."

Can you imagine what kind of jokes David Letterman would have been telling over, and over, and over, and over, and over again had George W. Bush said that? Can you imagine the embarrassing YouTube video that would have been released to the world had a GOP candidate said that during an editorial board meeting of some newspaper?

This error doesn’t rate as “disastrous,” but it does prove -- again -- two things: 1.) the so-called “greatest orator,” ain’t; and, 2.) the president has never seemed to care one bit about our long-standing, "special" relationship with Britain.

The president had a golden opportunity...and he managed to snag defeat from the jaws of victory -- again.
