Joe Biden Encourages Man In Wheelchair To ‘Stand Up’

Oh God Joe Biden is hilarious. He cannot go more than 45 minutes without saying something incredibly awkward. Fortunately, he is so used to making embarrassing remarks that he’s like, “Enh, well, start the clock again people!” and just moves on to the next GAFFE. His Secret Service code name is Gaffey McGaffesalot, because he makes so many gaffes, even in his dreams where he makes rude remarks to articulate wheelchair-bound Indian operators of 7/11s while plagiarizing the Constitution.

    He’s appealing to the fundamentalists. People get out of wheelchairs every week at those churches. Fuck’in drink poison, raise the dead, centrifuge uranium. THE HOLY SPIRIT, PEOPLE!

  2. Gopherit v2.0 says at 7:41 pm, September 10th, 2008

    But he’s so classy when he does it. With Biden, you forgive a lot.

    I love Biden, but I’m wondering if there wasn’t a secondary roll of preventing an Obama assassination by picking him as VP…..you know, kinda like Dubya did with Cheney.

  3. NoWireHangers says at 7:41 pm, September 10th, 2008

    Well, if Barack touched him he would have been able to stand.

  4. If John McCain were in Biden’s place, he would hold a press conference complaining about how Chuck’s unpatriotic refusal to stand up is a sign of sexism.

  5. LittlePhatGuise says at 7:43 pm, September 10th, 2008

    Excuse me, Senator…does it hurt when you step on your dick like that?

  6. shortsshortsshorts says at 7:44 pm, September 10th, 2008

    There are quite a few pigs with lipstick on in the crowd.

  8. jollymonsing says at 7:45 pm, September 10th, 2008

    oh man. so instead of just apologizing he makes everyone else in the room do the one thing this guy can’t do.

    thats wicked smooth.

  9. Ah, Biden. I’ll keep cutting him slack as long as he keeps the laughs coming.

  10. jollymonsing says at 7:48 pm, September 10th, 2008

    “hey everyone, to cover up that awkward faux pas, l command everyone in the room to do the one thing this guy i just embarrassed cannot do.”

  11. LittlePhatGuise says at 7:49 pm, September 10th, 2008

    jollymonsing: “I’m “NEW”!

  12. Twinkle Twinkle Lil Star says at 7:50 pm, September 10th, 2008

    awww. he’s adorable.

    Man, if I were only thirty years older… I’m just sayin’ Mrs. Biden better watch herself some.

  13. DarkSynergy says at 7:50 pm, September 10th, 2008

    Oh God, Biden’s one punch in the wheelchair man’s forehead away from being an evangelical. Which would make him a republican. Dammit.

  14. jollymonsing says at 7:55 pm, September 10th, 2008

    LittlePhatGuise: haha, yeah that’s right.

    am i now subject to being hazed?

  15. At least he doesn’t get all pissed off and just push him out of the way.
    I’m talking to you WALNUTS!

  16. Outstando says at 8:02 pm, September 10th, 2008

    jollymonsing: Nah, you’ve taken care of that yourself. Now sit down, would ya?

  17. Delicious says at 8:03 pm, September 10th, 2008

    God love’s Joe Biden. That made my day. Thanks Joe.

  18. bitchincamaro says at 8:07 pm, September 10th, 2008

    He once pushed a blind kid off a see-saw.

  19. Delicious says at 8:08 pm, September 10th, 2008

    Olbermann is gonna have a Special Comment!

  20. Cathangover says at 8:08 pm, September 10th, 2008

    That wheelchair saved Biden’s ass, cause the dude was wearing one of those “Sarah Palin is a Cunt” shirts.

  21. SayItWithWookies says at 8:09 pm, September 10th, 2008

    And Steve Carrell will be playing Biden in the movie version of this election.

  22. I know this is horribly off topic and I have no earthy right to be here anywayz, but I just heard Palin in on a flight to Alaska as we speak! Does that mean she is about to blow another little critter named Pole, or Kodiak, or Igloo out?

  23. c’mon Chuck, now drop and give me 20 you worthless and weak maggot. Say you love it Chuck.

    Gee Wonkers, after the election, we can tour the grounds where the Titanic sank.

  24. LittlePhatGuise says at 8:14 pm, September 10th, 2008

    jollymonsing: I was quoting the Senator.
    But if you’re into that kinky shit, this is the place for you!

  25. Well at least we know now that Biden is not Jesus

  26. magic titty says at 8:19 pm, September 10th, 2008

    Off topic - i’m going to hang Dick Morris upside down by his feet and bleed him out.

  27. Delicious says at 8:22 pm, September 10th, 2008

    SayItWithWookies: She’s going to send off her son to Iraq tomorrow.

  28. Delicious says at 8:23 pm, September 10th, 2008

    magic titty: You’re watching the toe-sucker on Fox, eh?

  29. magic titty says at 8:25 pm, September 10th, 2008

    Ha! Senator Joe! What the fuck, man?

    “Hey, Stevie Wonder’s here - Stevie, look at that Obama banner over there. Oh bloody hell! I’m sorry pal, you know I love ya buddy. Everybody look at Stevie. Just look at him.”

  30. Gopherit v2.0 says at 8:29 pm, September 10th, 2008

    magic titty: It’s still not as embarrassing as the time he tried to give McCain a hi-five.

  31. magic titty:

    Ladies and gentlemen, John Wayne Bobbit is here. Guys, please take your junk out and show it to John Wayne….

  32. dasNeonlicht says at 8:36 pm, September 10th, 2008

    He handled that very well, I thought. Pretty smooth.

  33. lilblackcorvette says at 8:43 pm, September 10th, 2008

    i think cbs took the “lipstickon pig” McPain ad down. wha’s up wit that?

  34. AngryBlakGuy says at 8:44 pm, September 10th, 2008

    …what you didn’t get to see was when Biden made these mistakes:

    -to the mute woman: “Come up here tell us your story!”

    -to the blind child: “here, catch!”

    -to the double amputee Iraq vet: “we all need to walk a day in your shoes”

    -to the guy with no arms: “Hi 5!!!”

  35. Itsjustme says at 8:45 pm, September 10th, 2008

    Did he say I’m new, Bro’? Please tell me he said Bro!

  36. Itsjustme says at 8:47 pm, September 10th, 2008

    Crap. listened again, he said pal.

  37. iwillsavethispatient says at 8:50 pm, September 10th, 2008

    Itsjustme: So, you’re saying, it’s just you?

  38. SayItWithWookies says at 8:50 pm, September 10th, 2008

    ZippyDee: As Delicious said — she’s not preggers yet, but she is making room for one more.

  39. CivicHoliday says at 8:51 pm, September 10th, 2008

    This was in my home town. Nobody I know or have read about found it offensive.

  40. Itsjustme says at 9:00 pm, September 10th, 2008

    iwillsavethispatient: Yes, I suppose. If it wasn’t me, who else would it be?

  41. jarsilver says at 9:00 pm, September 10th, 2008

    I just met Biden tonight. Every time an underage girl would come up to him, he would tell them, “Remember, no boys ’til you’re 30!”

    Then he would say “My daughter didn’t follow it but you should!” and he’d kiss their forehead and infect them with syphilis.

  42. DoctorCulturae says at 9:03 pm, September 10th, 2008

    Keith O on fire…. a brilliant change of the subject back to Bush Failure #1 (no Osama) and McFail’s knowledge of how to apprehend him…

  43. PoliTacky says at 9:06 pm, September 10th, 2008

    lol Biden, he’s a likeable version Ol’ Gil Gunderson in this clip!

  44. hrhkingfriday says at 9:08 pm, September 10th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: If I ever meet McCain, I’ll be sure to ask for a high five! lulz.

  45. iwillsavethispatient says at 9:08 pm, September 10th, 2008

    Itsjustme: Bah! You were meant to say, “Yes, itsjustme”. Nevermind…

  46. DoctorCulturae says at 9:09 pm, September 10th, 2008

    Rachel’s got a scoop via the Nation of WALNUTS on a boat with Follieri & Hathaway…

  47. That is experience folks. Immediately call yourself an asshole and the press has nothing. Compare that to WALNUTS! repeatedly pulling the string on Caribou Barbie, “Thaaanks but nuuuu thaaanks.”

  48. Itsjustme says at 9:09 pm, September 10th, 2008

    iwillsavethispatient: Damnit! Are you being sexist?

  49. trophy(forparticipation)wife says at 9:17 pm, September 10th, 2008

    ” I’m new pal. I really know how to put my foot in my mouth. I’ll bet you don’t have that problem. Er.”

  50. iwillsavethispatient says at 9:18 pm, September 10th, 2008

    Itsjustme: I hope not, it’d be a bit of a waste of my time, as I’m not running for President.

  51. trophy(forparticipation)wife says at 9:18 pm, September 10th, 2008

    Biden should invite Walnuts to do the wave.

  52. Serolf Divad says at 9:28 pm, September 10th, 2008

    At the debates Biden’s going to challenge Palin to a pissing contest. Scary thing is: she’ll probably win.

  53. tiny mexican says at 9:28 pm, September 10th, 2008

    Dammit Wonkette, please tell me you’ve seen this!

  54. ky-jellydonuts says at 9:42 pm, September 10th, 2008

    Any politician can make this mistake. A pro like Joe catches himself before he says the next thing that comes to his mind and finally comes up with a live-mic-appropriate “God love you.” I can think of a LOT of things I’d say after I just screwed up that would have caused the more delicate among the crowd to faint.

  55. Biden just wanted everyone to stand up so the guy in the wheelchair could see what he was missing.

  56. Serolf Divad: She can bust out that plastic she-nis thing.

  57. HoofHearted says at 9:55 pm, September 10th, 2008

    Biden asked everyone to stand, just to show the guy in the wheelchair what he was missing.

  58. hrhkingfriday: Make sure you follow it up with a swift kick to the nuts.

  59. ky-jellydonuts: Exactly, the phrase “fkn hell, I’ve just sunk the ticket” may have been reaction number one, but the instinct that talking around is a shit prospect suggests a political instinct to address a scrwe-up. This good, no? Could be change we can believe in…

    Or it means that people in wheelchairs are going to trample all over this campaign.

  60. Before his hair plugs came loose, what Joe meant to say was that, despite their parents’ example, the Palin kids should stand up and veer away from a life of drugs.

    Too late, Joe. Too late.

  61. Serolf Divad:
    Joe should ask her to name the seven continents. As alumna of the South Eastern Idaho College of Cosmetology (Matoon Annex), from her studies she should be able to spit them out:
    1. Alaska
    2. Canada
    3. The North Pole
    4. The whaT’S it? The other pole.
    5. New Zealand
    6. The Pacific
    7. The Santa Maria

  62. shortsshortsshorts says at 11:33 pm, September 10th, 2008

    I am Biden’s illegitimate child.

  63. S.Luggo:
    1. Alaska
    2. Antalaska, aka Evil America
    3. Russia
    4. Sodom & Gomorrah
    5. Eye-rackistania (including islands of Indonesia and Hawaii)
    6. Washington DC
    7. Narnia

  64. S.Luggo:
    YOU FORGOT POLAND!
    HE FORGOT POLAND!

  65. 2druk2phluq says at 12:30 am, September 11th, 2008

    S.Luggo: Joe “Walking Mouth” B. should ask her to name the Cabinets of the Executive Orifice, and what each does (as it would apply if WALNUTS!-Failin’ were elected).
    1. Department of Alaskaculture
    2. Department of Bustess
    3. Department of Depends
    4. Department of Comers (all comers)
    5. Department of Her Interior
    6. Department of Funny Walks

    Ah, shit, I milked it into a Python theft.
    I’m out

  66. grevillea:
    4. Sodom & Gomorrah [For a first hand, ask Track and Bristol; these Biblical cities are like Disney World for them. Fanily Values.] http://www.nationalenquirer.com/_palin_family_shockers_what_sarahs_really_hiding/celebrity/65407
    Sarah Palin: Track and Bristol, one screw-up might be an accident. But two in a row? Walking in your steps?

  67. 2druk2phluq:
    The Sarah Palin
    7. Department of Wildlife Preservation and Birth Control

  68. Serolf Divad: You are SOOOO right! Palin is completely hard core. She threw her developmentally challenged newborn under the bus right off the bat with her comment during her speech, “(our family) has ups and DOWNS just like any other.” Shit man. Tell me that is not fucking hard core. Mocking her baby. Shit.

  69. GoJoe! GaffeJoe! GoJoeGaffe! It’s some kinda verbal judo. Gaffedo. Whatevs.

    (As an aside, the Japanese culture has developed the Art of the High Tech Toilet to such a high degree, they’ve given it a name: tushido)

  70. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 5:45 am, September 11th, 2008

    God, I love him more than bacon right now. how is someone with foot-in-mouth disease not more “relatable” than a moose-eating beauty queen again?

  71. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 8:10 am, September 11th, 2008

    S.Luggo: I thought the only thing Track would get caught smoking was pole. Showed me. Piper, yer up!

  72. regisgoat says at 8:46 am, September 11th, 2008

    PoliTacky: Well, Ol’ Gil is supposed to be Jack Lemmon in Glengarry Glen Ross, and an earlier commentator was saying he was Steve Carrell. I’m going with Bill Murray, me. This “Stand up” thing, as well as its smooth as a baby’s butt comeback, was a real Bill Murray moment.

  73. regisgoat says at 8:51 am, September 11th, 2008

    TGY: Oh, now I get that joke! Remember, they called it “Bushido” when Elder Bush hurled into the lap of the Prime Minister of Japan.

  74. lilblackcorvette: I’m guessing Katie Couric didn’t much
    like the fact that they used her in the ad, and CBS probably didn’t
    like it either…she is their property after all.

  75. TexasCowGirl says at 10:22 am, September 11th, 2008

    Love it! Joe is sooooo funny. I don’t give a fuck if that guy is handicapped, that shit was funny.

  77. daybreaker says at 8:02 pm, October 10th, 2009

    Gaffey McGaffesalot … Now Thats funny.
