Joe Biden Makes A Funny About Jobs

by Sara K. Smith  10:21 am October 17, 2008


Hurrah, it is a very short YouTube clip! Joe Biden says the middle class’s biggest problem is a three-letter word: jobs, J-O-B-S. Three letters, literally. Literally. [Joe Biden Can't Count]

Lay off joe, at least he knows where new hampshire is

grendel October 17, 2008 at 10:25 am

Yes, we’re all concerned about the health of Steve Jobs. Literally.

TGY October 17, 2008 at 10:26 am

Whatta no-account. I’m sure we Americans will sleep safely in one-another’s beds when Joe Biden is VP. Literally.

Remember, Joe, O-B-A-M-A and J-O-B-S both start with ‘O’.

bitchincamaro October 17, 2008 at 10:28 am

The right-wing radio whores had a field day with this yesterday. Eh, why not?

freakishlystrong October 17, 2008 at 10:30 am

Joe maybe can’t count, but I’ve no doubt he can lead..

queeraselvis v 2.0 October 17, 2008 at 10:32 am

Mad props for Joe not actually saying that the biggest problem facing the middle class is a four letter word, S-H-I-T. Y’know, as in: MCCAIN IS FULL OF SHIT THE END.

Not that he didn’t think it, though.

MrAgro October 17, 2008 at 10:36 am

listen, Joe Biden was selected because he’s the best at what he does: flubbing. from big flubs concerning the articulateness of black men to little flubs like this one, he can do them all.

Barry can’t lose this one by himself. he needs a ringer.

AngryBlakGuy October 17, 2008 at 10:41 am

…”jobs” are for elitist anyways! I prefer to beg for change outside the local Racetrack or Wawa.

HuskyMescan October 17, 2008 at 10:43 am

Hey, Joe the VP is just feeding the paste eaters and conservatards some entertainment since their lives are so miserable right now.

Speaking of miserable….

Republicans wish Obama was aborted at birth:

I got fired from being a drug dealer for a similar lack of mathematical skills. How do you get fired from being a drug dealer? Some school kids ripped me off and took over the racket. I tried to confront them and they let their grandmother’s loose on me. Spent 6 months in traction, and then Escobar’s 2nd cousin 3 times removed threw me off a bridge.

Arithmetic is fundamental.

BobLoblawLawBlog October 17, 2008 at 10:53 am

Shouldn’t only a gaffe-LESS Biden make news?

mattbolt October 17, 2008 at 10:57 am

Biden’s excited about the three-letter “jobs” being created at Dan Quayle’s “potatoe” factory

ReelectTilden October 17, 2008 at 10:58 am

Hey, Wonkette, lay off the bourgeois obseesion with math and facts — people need hope! And change! And green jobs! And other non-specific things that make us feel warm and fuzzy!

Gopherit v2.0 October 17, 2008 at 11:00 am

Was that a laugh track?

I know Palin just finished her astrophysics dissertation in the middle of a brain surgery, but do you’d think they’d have more sympathy for stupid people?

grundle burrito October 17, 2008 at 11:00 am

McCain said “Freddie Mae” WHATEVER.

Nathalie08 October 17, 2008 at 11:01 am

David Brooks endorses BO. The tank is way too crowded now.

[re=138157]Nathalie08[/re]: hey, we are all in the tank, barbie is out there sayin stoopid shitz, joe is sayin stoopid shitz, even senator mcbustavein in sayin stoopds but hopey is g0nna bring us all together in one big green orgy. get used to it

or not

rev_matt_y October 17, 2008 at 11:13 am

Biden was just trying to connect with Joe Sixpack, who can’t count either. Of course, the fact that jobs is *not* the middle class’s biggest problem (yet) might be just a little important…

Sussemilch October 17, 2008 at 11:13 am

And that’s why Joe isn’t a Prezdent, but a veep for that clean, well-spoken, you know, that one.

TJBeck October 17, 2008 at 11:15 am

I think the key is to make so many gaffes that nothing really phases anyone anymore.

The guy could rape a baby gorilla while screaming obscenities about bitter gun-totin’ rednecks and holding a picture of himself snorting coke off of Bin Laden’s dick, and it would make news for about one day before we went back to laughing at Walnuts being old and Palin being… uh, Sarah Palin.

Larry McAwful October 17, 2008 at 11:16 am

Ah, Willie Geist. When I was in college, I always wondered what the future held for those bland, good-looking guys who worked really hard at being both the center of attention and aggressively boring at the same time.

Now I know. Thanks for the answer, Willie!

Bostoprov October 17, 2008 at 11:17 am

He had to say it was a three letter word because his favorite four letter word would have gotten him in trouble.

Lascauxcaveman October 17, 2008 at 11:17 am

Maybe there’s only one job left? Then it would be three letters.

In fairness to Biden, I don’t think his Republican counterpart could make it all the way up to four, either. That’s gettin’ up there, goshdarnit!

Larry McAwful October 17, 2008 at 11:18 am

[re=138166]TJBeck[/re]: He did that? Damn, must have happened on the day I didn’t watch the news.

I promise never to miss another day of news again!

MrAgro October 17, 2008 at 11:20 am

oh boy i just thought of some hilarious jokes.

Q: What is Joe Biden’s favorite candy?

A: Gaffy Taffy.

Q: What race is Joe Biden?

A: Gaffe-rican American!

WadISay October 17, 2008 at 11:25 am

It was funnier when he said to give the quadruple amputee a hand, or whatever he did.

Toomush Infermashun October 17, 2008 at 11:28 am

Uh-oh. I’m still having a hopey hangover – there will be no Jobz no Munyz no Governanz by the time OB gets there. The only four letter word we’ll have left is FUKT… Republikans (the ones who engineered this, not the ones ascared of Ayrabs) are happy to concede this overgrazed desert and hide out in private oasis (oases?, oasises?)until when and if there are ever such things as politics and money again. Shit, this bottle is empty – is rum subject to inflation?

Lemming Caution October 17, 2008 at 11:29 am

Biden is probably grateful to the McCain campaign for choosing Palin. He may be a crap public speaker, but, damn – http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/10/17/to_avoid_being_depressed_palin.html?hpid=topnews

[re=138176]MrAgro[/re]: My 8 year old told me this one yesterday:

A: Before there were early birds to get the worm, which dinosaur was the first to wake up in the morning?

B: The Crackodon.

What, isn’t this the horrible puns thread?

[re=138183]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: To paraphrase Tom Waits, “I’m so horny that it better watch out around me.”

Lascauxcaveman October 17, 2008 at 11:37 am

[re=138182]Lemming Caution[/re]: That makes me uncomfortably happy. I’m not normally a mean or unsympathetic person, but I think if somehow we could force Palin to read every single entry on Wonkette (maybe we’d have to dip into Kos, too) each day, she’d probably kill herself before Nov 4.

Name Pun Phenh October 17, 2008 at 11:47 am

Maybe he wants to create one job and have millions of people take turns doing it.
Also, this isn’t very relevant, but I want to put it out there: http://liesliesmorelies.blogspot.com/2008/10/mccain-racist-rally-goers-pt-6-worst-so.html

I’m glad he was able to make fun of himself over this on Leno last night. That’s why I love Joe – he’s hopeless and he knows it, and can smile about it the whole way through.

bitchincamaro October 17, 2008 at 1:36 pm

[re=138205]Name Pun Phenh[/re]: That’s totally relevent if it generates snark. Which it does, to wit: maybe next time the terrorists should fly some planes into silos. (but, gee, that would be wrong too, wouldn’t it?)

…and why does it take Al Jazeera (which I admire more than CNN, et al) to come up with an important report like this one?

I imagine being Vice-President involves very little math: http://tinyurl.com/5omrdq
