Joe Biden pauses to admire his boyish good looks between making stupid comments
Barack Obama’s going to take Joe Biden on another trip to the woodshed, because the loquacious vice president inadvertently spoke the truth about the future of the Obama administration.
Here’s how ABC News’ Jake Tapper reports the story:
On a conference call today, Vice President Biden told 30 of the nation’s governors that if the Recovery Act fails, he’s “dead.”
Biden was providing an update to the governors (and if they couldn’t make it, their Lt. Governor or senior staffer) on the Recovery Act and make sure they were prepared to submit reports next month detailing how stimulus money was spent and how many jobs were created by the funding.
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon (D) told the Vice President he couldn’t express how much he and his fellow governors appreciate Biden’s interest.
“Pure self-interest, Jay. If it fails, I’m dead,” Biden quipped.
“Pure self-interest” pretty much describes what motivates all the clowns in Washington, DC. On both sides of the aisle.

NEWER: Did that newscaster just say what we thought he said? Maybe he’s doing a story on Tourette Syndrome.

Good ol’ Bloviating Joe. He often inadvertently speaks the truth.
As much as I love me a good “Bush-ism” (my favorite of all time being about how the majority of our imports come from outside of the US), Joe is really giving Dubya a run for his money. The difference being that when Bush mis-spoke, it was funny. When Biden does it, it’s like a small little glimpse of truth in politics.
Bye, Bye Biden.
