It appears that Joe Biden’s comical inability to name his administration’s major new website is rooted in a far more fundamental technological illiteracy: he cannot tell the difference between the Internet and a telephone. [YouTube via Daily Intel]
WHY THIS COULD BE A NEW MEME!

Nobody fucks with Joe. Didn’t you get the message? He will not be easily caricatured!
D’ya think Jill prints his E-mail for him?
Shit, they’re all change.gov anyway, right?
Still, don’t fuck with Biden. I heard he once killed a man just to watch him die.
Can I get a Joe Biden in doll form? This guy is just the cutest.
Can “nobody messes with Joe” be the new “nobody fucks with de Jesus.”
Jukesgrrl:D’ya think Jill prints his
E-mailporn for him? /fixed.Kenneth the NBC Governor: No, he’s the new Chuck Norris.
Jukesgrrl: Jill’s a mega-cougar, isn’t she? Between her and Michelle, this is the hottest set of women in the WH since, uh…Jackie and Lady Bird? No, bad example. Tipper and Hillary? — ew.
That’s it then: we’ll never see this kind of paired political hotness again. Change has come!
The video is no longer available. OMG BLACK HELICOPTERS ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT U.N. TRILATERAL COMMISSION!
This explains why I always get a busy signal when I try to call up the internets.
I don’t see what’s wrong about talking about website numbers. You can reach this website at 216.35.173.236
Yeah, yeah. Someone should tell that anchor that picking on senile old men isn’t funny, it’s just mean. Next she’s gonna ask him his address or his middle name or somesuch. And get Joe a blankie! He’s cute in the suit and all, but old people have to stay cuddled up to avoid the ague.
No one messes with Joe. (except the gaffe police)
lookit that librell media talking about up-n-runnin like its a fullback from Vandabilt sheeeet
Helpful tip for grandparents: teh Internet’s number used to be 867-5309, but when all the new area codes came in, those evil phone companies changed it to 281-330-8004.
V572625694: Change has come! And so have I!
Sharif DelMonte: Hey, that’s a local area code. Now how may people are going to call that number?
Sharif DelMonte: The internet is from Houston? Egads!
Biden still uses his dial-up 2400 baud modem so there IS a phone number, smartasses.
Geez, Joe Biden, the internet is not a dump truck or telephone. If only we’d elected tech wunderkind John McCain and sexy scientist Sarah Palin, we wouldn’t have any of this internet number nonsense.
Yo, Wonkette! What’s the deal with the blood pressure cold medicine ads? I have a sneaking suspicion that they’re not getting their demographic money’s worth…
you could tell by the way she asks him that she knows she’s got him.
in what respect, maggie?
BillyClubb: It’s a song by Mike Jones, a Houston rapper.
You are SO WRONG about Super Joe. He is in fact the secret geek behind all of Owebobama’s on-line success. See, he likes to refer to websites by their IP numbers, not their domain names, which is far more precise. He’s just THAT good.
assistant/atlas:
Yeah, but could we stand Sexy scientist Sarah’s high pitched whiney voice like nails across a blackboard & Tech God McNasty with no Marine helicopters at the White House for 4 yrs?
V572625694: A MILF and a GILF–what are the odds of that?
Crankenstank: Super Joe? I’d heard he’d gone missing… I hope he’s safe.

McNasty is at it again. Now he says we are losing the war in Afghanistan. McNasty would you Puleaze stfu & let Hopey be Prez already? Are you trying to be his worst nightmare because you lost your own horrible Prez campaign? You have no one to blame but yourself. Not even Beyond The Palin. Is that how you would have run America in a real hugemongous crisis? We’d all be in Canada right now if you were Prez, you ran a chaotic campaign & let the Joe The Plumber Neanderthal faction take over. So please let the Prez we elected do his job. He is working his you know what off, no matter what all you ne’re do wells say about him.
The woman was asking him to reverse DNS lookup, live, on the air? Damn. She should have busted Cheney’s balls this way and shotgun shells to the face, me thinks.
Gopherit: That was in Reno.
Obama gave us W’s lovable buffoonery without the horrific power entrusted in him. Maybe Hanity is right; Obama is Jesus.
V572625694: Since the twins.
Joe knows what the address is. He’s got saved on his TRS-80.
Packherd: There are ads on teh Wonkettes?
IPs, telephone numbers , it’s a series of numbers, same shit.
At least he doesn’t think the net is a series of rubber tubes.
Joe Biden is friggin awesome. He floats always two feet above our mortal world and needs not know of it. Nay, not a thing. Go, Joe, go. Float on.
Nerdalicious:
Somebody should just give McPOW a Metamucil smoothie and some Skee-Ball money so he’ll shut his slurpy mouth.
jasonelias:
You suck for reminding me of my age.
he’s still better than Palin
Iggy Plop:
Joe Biden is friggin awesome. He floats always two feet above our mortal world and needs not know of it. Nay, not a thing. Go, Joe, go. Float on.

Servo, yeah & what’s with McNasty’s hurricane hair last night? Did they mess it up, undoing his straight jacket?
IT’S NOT A FUCKING TRUCK, HE KNOWS THAT MUCH.
Nerdalicious:
McCorpse’s transplanted ass-hairs are gonna do what they want, regardless of how much GeeDub’s stylin’ jizz he uses.
Servo:
McCrazy has mood hair. It was all befrazzled last night, cause he is so DAMN pee’d off that Prez is the Prez not him. His helicopter smear job on Prez at the Press Conference the day before backfired on him, & made him the fool AGAIN, as Prez made a joke out his stupid copter rant & him. When he’s campaigning in the JTP States his hair is all slicked back with NASCAR race car oil. AND, he’s using GeeDub’s stylin’ jizz (which is ineffective).
P.S: You have me beat on the Mcism’s.
Malia bookmarked teh entire Interwebtubes for Unka Joe! No needie numbas!
Hey, to be fair to Old Joe, the first time *I* ever used the Internet? It involved a phone. Well, the handset part at least.
Nobody needs to know the website numbers when you can just dial it up on the Google.
Handsome Joe is just nostalgic for a simpler, mellower, kind of tweed-draped time when you didn’t need Twitter, Google or Kindle to get your groove on. Give him a break. I remember those days too.
It’s all funny till the president chokes on a pretzel…
Crankenstank: And he hand-codes all the Obama sites in binary. At night.
Scandalabra: Tweed with patches on the elbows
Forget about this “number” nonsense for a second. THE EARLY SHOW? Really? My God, was Good Morning Cleveland too booked up?
He could have copied it off someone else and memorized it, just like the ole days.
“And here’s Uncle Joe he’s-a-moving kinda slow at the Junction…. Internet Junction.”
So, is Joe Biden the new Dan Qyale?
He’s smarter than all of us…he was talking about the IP address.
DoctorCulturae: Jill’s not THAT hot.
that was like watching my pawpaw. so sweet. so confused. i’d open a can of whoop ass on her if she had done that to MY pawpaw…
jasonelias:
10 print “Biden luvz da TRS-80″
20 goto 10
run
sanantonerose: Hey, to be fair to Old Joe, the first time *I* ever used the Internet? It involved a phone. Well, the handset part at least.
Haha! Me too. For the purpose of programming in Fortran. On a VAX computer at a university four towns over. A peanut farmer was then president, and I wore an onion on my belt, which was the style of the time…
Magnus Maximus: OMG, that takes me back!
PLIST
Magnus Maximus: Close, although with Joe it sometimes seems more like
10 GOTO 20
20 GOTO 10
>RUN
I loved the TRS-80 Model III. Those weird 2×3 pixels! And the 5.25″ floppy drives that you couldn’t keep closed when rebooting the computer, lest you format the disks inside.
Take it easy on the poor old guy. Can you IMAGINE the amount of tail he’s getting, now that he’s veep? Plus all he signed on for was to smile a lot and say some stupid shit every now and again to take the focus off the boss man. Meanwhile, notice he’s getting the url stuff wrong on a consistent basis, which is all to his credit, I think.
Nerdalicious: No be mocking the McAged. He served in the Union retreat from Bull Run. Knows more about losing a war than you ever would, you peacenik, Marxist lib, Stimulus Bill scum, Molly McQuire, hippie, socialist, New Dealer, quiche-eating, same-sex marriage, vegan, dirt-bag, English major person.
From these posts, I now apprehend the toxicity of snark. Denby, forgive us. Also, I’ll have an order of eggs, sunnyside up, and toast.
http://wonkette.com/406574/jesus-you-cant-expect-joe-biden-to-remember-every-website-number-in-the-phonebook#comment-252954: The Internet is at Jenny’s?
Hello,,,, iS tHIS rECOVERYdOT oRG?……
Hello…… can you hear me now?
Hey Barry this recovery thing is fucked, all I get is static and beeps.
Joe should have replaced Conan. They’re both just about the same funny-wise. Hair-wise? Meh.
Nerdalicious: Surreal and amazing. I was probably thinking of Modest Mouse, but having that clip as a background to Biden’s serene oblivion just completes me. Float on indeed.
I was laughing before I ever got to the comments. And then, “IT’S NOT A FUCKING TRUCK…” just slayed me. The comments on this one are a hard act to follow.
“They’re in the computer?”
-Hansel
DNS is for pussies. Joe accesses all his websites by IP address.
DoctorCulturae: Hey! I got that - how fucking old am I?
Admission of embarrassment? Once again, Joe Biden proves himself the anti-Cheney.
However! He’s perceptive enough to realize teh Intarwebs is just a bunch of numbers! Well played, Mr. Vice President, well played indeed. Or should I say, 77 65 6C 6C 70 6C 61 79 65 64.
V572625694: True that. I couldn’t believe I could ever share the girl-crush I had on Michelle. Till I met her still-community-college-teachin’ hawt-boots-wearin’ inauguration-ball-best-dressin’ counterpart. This is proof, of course, that Obama is actually “The One” and God hates ugly. Just like Mama taught me.
Hang on a sec, Jim…are you messing with Joe? Cause Hopey made it pretty clear that nobody messes with Joe. I foresee a Joan-Crawford-style hanger-whuppin’ in your future, c/o our Unicorn King. *shudder*
BobLoblawLawBlog: To rip off Mark Twain, God must love the ugly, as he made so many of them. But I get little starbursts of envy for Hopey every time I see Michelle’s 2nd-Amendment biceps.
V572625694: I meant to say, “God must love the ugly, as he made so many of us.”
S.Luggo: “…you peacenik, Marxist lib, Stimulus Bill scum, Molly McQuire, hippie, socialist, New Dealer, quiche-eating, same-sex marriage, vegan, dirt-bag, English major person.”
Uh-oh. S.Luggo is on to me…
TGY: I once dated a girl with those measurements. OK I confess. It was an entire sorority.
Wonkette, you fool, Biden is so haxxor leet he speaks in DNS.
They call him Joe The Unix Splicer back in Scranton.
Iggy Plop:
You interrupt, I was floating above the nowness to the Joe vibration of all knowing jokiness. Float on.
Mr Blifil: Yes, ‘breast cup hexadecimal’. Very appropriate to teh Intarwebs.
S.Luggo:
No be mocking the McAged. He served in the Union retreat from Bull Run. Knows more about losing a war than you ever would, you peacenik, Marxist lib, Stimulus Bill scum, Molly McQuire, hippie, socialist, New Dealer, quiche-eating, same-sex marriage, vegan, dirt-bag, English major person.
Re:Ok Sean Penn, we already heard your Acadamy Awards aceeptance speech. You commie lovin’ sons a gun. McCrack is Wack.
Prepare to be entertained. The best/worst awards acceptance speech of all time: and the winner is! Mickey Rourke at the Spirit Awards. Best line at awards ever: “I don’t know what you do honey, but the other 2 are good”. Micks woke up all the elitist botoxed peeps in the audience with that existentialist nihilism of his. Would an English teacher please find Mickey in the nearest biker bar & have him up to speed in proper English for his next down & out dude role nomination.

Scarab: “Biden still uses his dial-up 2400 baud modem so there IS a phone number, smartasses.”
They have 2400 modems now? Dang! I need to upgrade. I have heard that sometimes you can see naked people on the internet.
His gaffes are amusing.
