‘More and More, This Vice-Presidency Is Feeling Like a Gift’

by Ken Layne  5:50 pm January 21, 2009


Here is Crazy Joe Biden, viciously mocking Chief Justice John Roberts for ruining Obama’s oath of office. We sure wouldn’t mind a joint Obama-Biden press conference every day! But by the look on Barry’s face, we also wouldn’t be surprised if this is the last Biden press conference, ever. [Political IQ]

Barry’s fuckin’ pissed.

President Beeblebrox January 21, 2009 at 5:55 pm

I’ll take goofy Joe Biden, God love ‘im and bless his heart and all that, any day over the Evil Leaden One.

Did anyone hear Cheney yell “Mein Fuehrer, I can walk!” just before they wheeled him into his limo to evacuate D.C.?

sevenrepeat January 21, 2009 at 5:56 pm

i haven’t seen barry this angry since we had a white prez. btw, i thought joe was funny.

Alex Trebeks Girl January 21, 2009 at 5:58 pm

OH it’s alright. It could have been worse. Sumthing like “SHAME ON YOU JOHN ROBERTS!”

Fivetree January 21, 2009 at 6:01 pm

Who wants to bet that Biden’s office gets moved to some undisclosed location?

Rush January 21, 2009 at 6:01 pm

If looks could kill…..at least Jill Biden …. (nevermind)

Harold_Ignoramis January 21, 2009 at 6:01 pm

[re=225025]President Beeblebrox[/re]: Der former VP Cheney looked alot like mean old Mr. Potter from It’s A Wonderful Life.

AxmxZ January 21, 2009 at 6:01 pm

Joe, you are is deep shit. You know what’s coming, don’t you? That’s right. Barry is going to glower at you. Disapprovingly, with a hint of sadness. Until your knee joints give out and you’ll collapse sobbing and pleading for forgiveness at his feet.

kudzu January 21, 2009 at 6:01 pm

What a sight. The Prince of Darkness (Richard Perle is too much of a pussy to deserve such a moniker) being wheeled out to his undisclosed location where he will live until his nuclear-powered titanium-alloy mechanical heart runs out of juice ten million years from now. Fuck’im.

AxmxZ January 21, 2009 at 6:03 pm

[re=225036]AxmxZ[/re]: Read “in” for “is”. Not a Freudian slip, honest. I love Joe long time.

jagorev January 21, 2009 at 6:03 pm

That pat on the back and look is what my boss gives people when they fuck up massively in front of a client. That is a look of death.

Texan Bulldoggette January 21, 2009 at 6:04 pm

Barry better unclench his sphincter muscle & just go with the flow whenever Joe the Biden talks or it’s gonna be a long 4/8 years! Besides, it’s not like Joe asked one of the females to show him her tits or anything. Geez, loosen up Barry!

goodluck/badluck January 21, 2009 at 6:05 pm

Har har… next time there’s gonna be a strip of masking tape down the center of the podium, sitcom style.

jagorev January 21, 2009 at 6:08 pm

Good article on TNR today about how Harvard Law might have shaped Barry to be insanely respectful of established procedures and protocols:

http://tinyurl.com/8g8j5x

I’m not sure the thesis that Harvard shapes people differently from Yale (where Clinton went) really holds… but it is clear that dissing the Chief Justice of the United States is something you do not do in front of Barry. Whether that’s the influence of Harvard Law or his Kansan grandma, I can’t really say, but he really seems to take the gravity of his office (and other senior offices in the government) seriously.

A refreshing change.

graceless January 21, 2009 at 6:09 pm

Did he ever take the right oath?

bitchincamaro January 21, 2009 at 6:09 pm

That new puppy’s house had better be a double-wide.

Texan Bulldoggette January 21, 2009 at 6:13 pm

[re=225050]jagorev[/re]: Well, Barry better but his suit jacket back on because all the wing-nuts are freaking out that he’s ghetto-ing the Oval office by not wearing it.

randomsausage January 21, 2009 at 6:14 pm

I’d like to have Joe’s silver tongue….if only for getting a chance to explore the luscious Jill. What a GILF!

Origami January 21, 2009 at 6:15 pm

God, I love Biden.
I bet having him around every day is like when you take your sassy older mother to a work function and she gets a little sauced and keeps making inappropriate jokes and trying to set up couples amongst the interns.
Basically: embarrassing for Obama, hilarious for everyone else.

Nerdalicious January 21, 2009 at 6:15 pm

Hey Cats & Dudes. We are going on z road. That’s right, Vegas Baby! I’m gonna knock out a few Exec Orders, then we are taking this show on the road! (I have to quit smokin’ after Vegas)Camelot? Naw we’re the Rat Pack! (I’m quittin’ Joe after Vegas too!).

The Chairman Of The Board = Prez
Sammy = Rahm
Dean = Joe
Carson = Robert Gibbs

HMS Nerd January 21, 2009 at 6:18 pm

Barry’s completely having none of it. What a reversal of straight man roles from W…though, that may just be because they were republicans.

Mr. Herpes January 21, 2009 at 6:24 pm

I’m having flashbacks to the old “I Spy” series with Cosby and Robert Culp dissin’ the bad guys. Except Cosby was the funny guy…Anyway, good for ol’ Joe, kicking Mr. Roberts right in the old oath of office. The Prez needs to lighten up…it’s going to be a long four years fixing this F****** mess and the nation needs a good laugh now and then. Ooops. Herbert Hoover said that.

WalnutsIsMyCo-Pilot January 21, 2009 at 6:31 pm

“Hello, my name is Joe and I work in a political foot-in-mouth factory.
I have a house, and a dog, and a family.
One day, my boss came up to me and said, “Hey Joe, are you busy?”
I said, “No”.
He said “Shut the fuck up you stupid piece of shit.”

Jukesgrrl January 21, 2009 at 6:38 pm

Advice to Pres. Hopey: If you muzzle Joe, the comedians will be angry and they will take it out on you, not Joe. You do watch TV once in awhile?

grevillea January 21, 2009 at 6:41 pm

Sexist! First you tape up all the cracks in the glass ceiling, then this. Hillary would have taken this job seriously, but to you it is all a joke. Because you have never experienced the joy and the exquisite pain of giving birth. You have never taken betrayal and defeat and fed on them to gain strength. You have never cried the bitter, salty tears only a strong woman knows.

Tommmcatt January 21, 2009 at 6:45 pm

Yeah, Joe baby, it’s woodshed time for you…..

groove January 21, 2009 at 6:51 pm

First day on the job and already fucking up in front of his boss. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

chascates January 21, 2009 at 7:05 pm

Biden ain’t Biden unless he’s a loose cannon. Fire away Joe!

Min January 21, 2009 at 7:07 pm

Next thing you know, Joe will blurt out something about the Obamas’ kinky sexual practices.

President Beeblebrox January 21, 2009 at 7:48 pm

[re=225050]jagorev[/re]: Joe went to Syracuse Law, where they excel in making snowballs and cheering anthropomorphic orange mascots.

Giant Robot January 21, 2009 at 8:14 pm

Go easy on Joe, he’s hung over. Hell, most of us are still drunk.

GreyPanter January 21, 2009 at 8:21 pm

[re=225054]graceless[/re]: Yes, Roberts and Hopey did it “privately” today, according to Yahoo News.

DustBowlBlues January 21, 2009 at 8:26 pm

I love Joey. In an age when politicians filter every comment through make-believe focus groups that live in their heads, how refreshing that one guy in DC actually just says shit he’s thinking.

DustBowlBlues January 21, 2009 at 8:29 pm

[re=225044]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: The gals agree on this one. Loosen up, Barry.

ghardcastle January 21, 2009 at 8:54 pm

Jeez I thought he was funny. I love Joe Biden.

marinmaven January 21, 2009 at 8:55 pm

What do the Irish poets have to say about this, Joe?

Blue Line January 21, 2009 at 8:59 pm

[re=225203]DustBowlBlues[/re]: I completely agree! This is almost as good as “Noun Verb 9/11″, which was also just the shit he was thinking…

jimh January 21, 2009 at 9:03 pm

Yes, both Joe and Jill will be taking a time out from the press for the next 99 days or so.

ellis January 21, 2009 at 9:12 pm

I love Joe Biden. I think he’ll be around to provide some much-needed comic relief every now and then.

DemmeFatale January 21, 2009 at 9:15 pm

Kinda like Colbert a few years ago, at the Corespondent’s Dinner. Maybe the room didn’t laugh, but the rest of us did.

schvitzatura January 21, 2009 at 9:28 pm

I predict Biden will be paying an extended goodwill tour to all the capitals of Sub-Saharan African nations, stat.

Followed by lengthy junkets to the Balkans, the Baltics, and the former Soviet Caucasus…

lulula January 21, 2009 at 9:38 pm

Meh, I thought it was pretty funny, and it certainly wasn’t mean spirited. And its not like Barry has never attempted a bad joke (see: Nancy Reagan seance).

undermedicated January 21, 2009 at 9:46 pm

[re=225050]jagorev[/re]: Excellent point. Fo shizzle. I was all like lovin’ crazy Joe and his sense of humor, and hatin’ on Barry’s lack of it, and thinkin’ oh shit the new preznit is one uptight half-honky. But, shit, the previous full-honky preznit sure did enjoy his gaffes and laffs, and jokes jokes jokes didn’t turn out so well. Serious is good. Got it. Seriously.

DoctorCulturae January 21, 2009 at 9:52 pm

Maybe I’m missing something, but I don’t think Barry is pissed about Joe’s comment, he just doesn’t want to get bogged down in any distractions about it.

I hope the Preznit lets Joe be the bad cop (call Roberts out, take heat for being outspoken, beating the bass drum for policies, etc.) so he can be the good cop.

Nerdalicious January 21, 2009 at 10:14 pm

[re=225309]DoctorCulturae[/re]:
I was thinkin’ the same thing. The good cop, bad cop dynamic is going on here.

DoctorCulturae January 21, 2009 at 10:21 pm

[re=225333]Nerdalicious[/re]: I’d like to see Joe be the Tasmanian Devil to Hopey’s Roadrunner (bee-beep! zooom!).

Nerdalicious January 21, 2009 at 10:30 pm

[re=225342]DoctorCulturae[/re]:
Ha! Felix Unger = Prez, Oscar Madison = Joe

TexasCowGirl January 22, 2009 at 12:33 am

Uh, oh. Someone’s going to get a talking to from Rahm Emanuel.

jennx January 22, 2009 at 12:56 am

[re=225273]DemmeFatale[/re]: I think everyone in that room WAS laughing except Obama. I love both of them more for that exchange anyway. Joe the funny funster, Obama all gravitas. It’s great.

sarcasticusername January 22, 2009 at 1:19 am

wow i don’t think i’ve ever seen barry look less amused/ yikes he probably ordered that the exorcist joe requested for the naval observatory to be delayed at least another week, jill’s big mouth already guaranteed the first delay.

BetterDaysAreComing January 22, 2009 at 6:02 am

I wouldn’t expect Obama to look any other way about this…publicly. Inside his head, I bet, he was giving Biden the good, old “terrorist fist bump.” Just proud that we have a couple of straight shooters in the White House.

LazloHollyfeld January 22, 2009 at 9:55 am

[re=225309]DoctorCulturae[/re]: Agreed. Barry could give a shit. Of all the remarks that Biden has made (and, please God, will continue to make), that’s the one that pucker’s Obama’s ass? Jusat wait till Biden refers to Moscow as “St Faggotsburg”.

All Barry’s thinking about in that clip is how pissed he is that he’s going to have to smoke out back behind a dumpster and might not be able to hear the call to prayer.

Gayer Than Thou January 22, 2009 at 1:32 pm

[re=225128]Min[/re]: No need: Fox News in Detroit has already told us they’re into fisting. Or maybe where you come from, that’s not considered a kinky sexual practice.

Deepthroat January 22, 2009 at 6:07 pm

[re=225087]WalnutsIsMyCo-Pilot[/re]: fuck yeah! I like the way you think!
