The gift that keeps on giving

Oh, Joe. You just can't seem keep that foot out of your mouth. And we all thought Bush was bad.

There have been some real choice moments as of late, like when Biden proclaimed that Hillary would be a better VP:


Or, my personal favorite, asking the audience at a rally to "Stand up for Chuck!" when referring to wheelchair bound Senator Chuck Graham:



Or the latest, Biden bungling an interview with Katie Couric, showing his lack of knowledge of US history:



Or when Biden was recently condemning China's use of coal power, when Obama supports the use of clean coal in the US:



However, this Obama/Biden Gaffe Machine video is pretty funny. It does contain some painfully awkward moments, though. So watcher, beware:



The best part is that there are several other gaffes that I haven't posted. How about when Biden castigated the Obama/Biden campaign for an ad deriding McCain for not using a computer because of injuries?
Asked about the negative tone of the campaign, and this ad in particular, during an interview broadcast Monday by the “CBS Evening News,” Obama’s running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, said he disapproved of it.

“I thought that was terrible, by the way,” Biden said.

Asked why it was done, he said: “I didn’t know we did it and if I had anything to do with it, we’d have never done it.”

Or when he declared, on ABC's Good Morning America, that paying taxes is the patriotic thing to do:
"It's time to be patriotic . . . time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut..."

Or what about when Biden claimed his helicopter was "forced down" in mountains crawling with al-Qaeda? Even though his helicopter landed because of weather. That’s not what he told a National Guard audience in Maryland. From Jake Tapper:

Biden said he would ask Palin about “The superhighway of terror between Pakistan and Afghanistan where my helicopter was forced down…John McCain wants to know where Bin Laden and the gates of Hell are? I can tell him where. That’s where Al Qaeda is. That’s where Bin Laden is. It’s not in the country of Iraq.”

Never stop, Joe. Just keep doin' what you do and we'll keep laughing.
