Video: Reason TV salutes noted moron turned stimulus czar
posted at 8:00 pm on February 24, 2009 by Allahpundit
A palate cleanser to put you in the right frame of mind for tonight’s pep talk from Zeus. It’s not even the humor that impresses me; it’s the efficiency of it. How did they shoehorn so many of Greasy Joe’s embarrassments into 60 seconds? It’s nearly miraculous.
Stay tuned for the director’s cut after the stimulus rollout gets going. Content warning for one stray profanity.

I think it captured him rather well!

Might want a content warning on that. “You’re talking crazy as all sh*t.”
amerpundit on February 24, 2009 at 7:45 PM
“Stand up, Chuck! Let ‘em see ya! Oh, God luv ya, what am I talking about….”
I just love that.
Robert_Paulson on February 24, 2009 at 7:46 PM
They forgot (a) “we expelled Hezbollah from Lebanon” (b) “30% chance we’ll fail” and (c) “they’ll test Obama’s inexperience”- and those are just the ones that immediately come to mind

Ever heard of Plato, Joe Biden, Socrates?
Morons.

I like how three of us commented before the post event went up. :-)
amerpundit on February 24, 2009 at 8:05 PM
“Hey, hold up there old buddy”
Dummy Biden was Obama’s first big decision. Bad sign for things to come. Biden may be the first VP since Spiro Agnew to step down.
RobCon on February 24, 2009 at 8:05 PM
funny as hell
The Wall on February 24, 2009 at 8:05 PM
the cry of Joe in the middle, like don’t do it, is the best. All we needed to add was Roosevelt Tv chats when the great depression started.
Gracelynn on February 24, 2009 at 8:07 PM
Well, when the next four years are done it’s going to be a much, much longer video.
boomer on February 24, 2009 at 8:07 PM
…salutes noted moron turned stimulus czar
Sweeeeet. Love the screencap too.
Such a dolt, bless his heart.
tru2tx on February 24, 2009 at 8:07 PM
What was so intriguing about Biden to The One (or Zeus)?
It’s like Obama won the election in spite of Biden, not because he helped.
JetBoy on February 24, 2009 at 8:08 PM
“Ow! My freaking ears!”
Well, easy for me to joke about; I don’t have to worry about kids overhearing.
frankj on February 24, 2009 at 8:08 PM
Oh my science that guy is such a joke, till the day die i won’t understand why Obama picked, the chaps a liability in every respect… he’s even an idiot in his supposed field of expertise foreign policy.
Equanim1ty found on February 24, 2009 at 8:09 PM
Selecting Biden as his running mate (has he paid all his taxes) sort of set the trend for Obamas future selections. Primary prerequist is that you have to be dumb and dishonesty.
docdave on February 24, 2009 at 8:10 PM
“Hey Joe…how’s the family? I hear your two boys are doing well in their Sanford financed hedge fund…ohhhh god love ya, what am I talking about…”
ornery_independent on February 24, 2009 at 8:10 PM
It’s not even the kids I worry about; I tend not to censor my language too much. But it’s only 5PM on the West coast and HA has readers around the world. People may still be at work.
amerpundit on February 24, 2009 at 8:11 PM
heh!
JetBoy on February 24, 2009 at 8:12 PM
Biden is VP to make Obama look intelligent.

ROFL!
As you say, AP, What could go wrong?

Now that I am the stimulus Czar,my first priority can be summed up with 3 letters: J-O-B-S
Baxter Greene on February 24, 2009 at 8:18 PM
That always makes me laugh.
Every time he gets near a mic it’s like playing craps..
Guardian on February 24, 2009 at 8:19 PM
Biden posts at AoS?
What’s his screen name?
notropis on February 24, 2009 at 8:21 PM
Yea, with dice with only 3′s and 4′s on them.
BacaDog on February 24, 2009 at 8:22 PM
Obiden Omg
Jamson64 on February 24, 2009 at 8:23 PM
You laugh and then you cry a little bit realizing he’s second in command. What a complete boob.
sherry on February 24, 2009 at 8:25 PM
Is there going to be an Obama-address open thread?
BuckeyeSam on February 24, 2009 at 8:25 PM
Stimulus is on aisle 5.
Limerick on February 24, 2009 at 8:28 PM
Are you kidding me? I just figured out that Obama is chewing up another hour of prime time t.v. tonight. I knew he was speaking, but I didn’t realize that he would, once again, be commandeer the all the major networks. The stimulus passed already, what does he want now?
Dead Hand Control on February 24, 2009 at 8:30 PM
Every time I fantasize about Ogabe being tarred and feathered and run out of town, I remember who would take his place.
Then I imagine both of the White House clowns thrown into Gitmo and I realize who is third in line.

Russian Roulette with the gun pointed at his foot.

He’s going to tell us how high our taxes are going to go to pay for the regular appropriations bill coming soon.
Free health care ain’t free, you know.
BacaDog on February 24, 2009 at 8:37 PM
Free health care ain’t free, you know.
BacaDog on February 24, 2009 at 8:37 PM
Sure it is, because rich pukes have money trees growing in their yards and their lawns are made of pure gold; that’s why they will be taxed to pay for everything.
So obvious even a deaf man could see it.
Bishop on February 24, 2009 at 8:41 PM
I needed a beer after watching that….
Here’s to you…you three letter word-spelling j-o-b-s creatin’ god love ya when’s your next Botox shot regular Joe…
Rockygold on February 24, 2009 at 8:42 PM
I’m totally convinced that Biden, as a kid, used to have to wear a safety helmet, ride the short bus, and have notes pinned to his shirt so that he didn’t lose them on his way home.
Can you say, I-D-I-O-T ?
madmonkphotog on February 24, 2009 at 8:42 PM
I’d like to put Plugs and Dubya together for a all-star 90-minute gaffetastic special.
My fortune would be made.
MrScribbler on February 24, 2009 at 8:44 PM
This ends up being decent solid single that could have been…with a bit more effort…a three run triple off the Green Monster.
Mike D. on February 24, 2009 at 8:46 PM
‘Obama has no experience.’
‘I stand by that.’
TinMan13 on February 24, 2009 at 8:49 PM
PrzCrkHed putting this doofus in charge of the Stimulus means that PrzCrkHed doesn’t give 2 shts about said Stimulus.

Joe Biden: The dumbest man in the Senate that makes Dan Quayle look like Einstein

PrzCrkHed putting this doof in charge of the Stimulus means that PrzCrkHed does not care about said Stimulus-

Love it! If there ever were a real man of genius, it would be plugs.
The Principal Chair on February 24, 2009 at 8:55 PM
Let’s not forget that Caroline Kennedy (Is she back to being Schlossberg yet?) was on the Obama team that vetted the VP choice. We all remember how articulate and experienced she was.

The Stimulator: Not only is he the vice president but he’s a customer.
moxie_neanderthal on February 24, 2009 at 9:18 PM
“Stand up, Chuck”…omg..that will live FOREVER.
SouthernGent on February 24, 2009 at 9:19 PM
Missed the gaffe about how the vice president works in the constitution.
jukin on February 24, 2009 at 9:42 PM
They forgot dividing Iraq into three countries. And there are more….
Christian Conservative on February 24, 2009 at 9:43 PM
I never did understand how that ticket could bring itself to criticize McCain for his VP pick. … and the sad thing was that some on our side bought into the premise instead of ridiculing the accusation.
What happened: Left said, “With such an inexperienced VP selection, McCain has given up the ability to criticize the Democrat candidate’s experience” Right said, “She is an experienced governor and has held other offices in Alaska, she’s qualified”
What should have happened: Left said, “With such an inexperienced VP selection, McCain has given up the ability to criticize the Democrat candidate’s experience” The Right should have said, “You’re frickin’ kidding us, right? The top of *your* ticket has zero experience as a leader, has sponsored and overseen the passage of zero significant bills, you’ve picked a plagiarist and the dumbest man in the Senate (several of your Democrat women exceed his lack of intelligence, but that’s a different issue) as your VP pick and you have the NERVE to say that we’ve given up the right to criticize *THAT* just because our Veep pick is only the governor of a state? You Democrats are out of your minds!”
AZfederalist on February 24, 2009 at 10:03 PM
They missed a good one, though I don’t guess there’s video or audio for this one. Shame:
see-dubya on February 24, 2009 at 10:04 PM
When the good Lord passed out brains, old Joe thought he said trains and said “give me a slow one”.
PatMac on February 24, 2009 at 10:21 PM
Why didn’t this come out before the election?
Oh well, here’s a more complete list of Jolted Joe’s gaffes:

Could someone spoof that song by Jilted John from the 80s (I think)? Its title was “Gordon is a Moron”. “Biden is a moron. Biden is a mo-or-on…!”
Fortunata on February 24, 2009 at 10:55 PM
OMG I can’t stop laughing. shame, what a loser.
MooreMom on February 24, 2009 at 11:03 PM
Yes. Consider this a preview of coming attractions. Thanks for the laugh, Allah, I was feeling a bit low today. BTW, how does one address a czar?
unwashed minion on February 24, 2009 at 11:09 PM
Surreal, isn’t it? I can imagine a sitcom about the government of the world’s great superpower, with a cast of characters like these at a time of great peril and crisis. We’d laugh til we cried.
NellE on February 24, 2009 at 11:41 PM
in the words of P BO this very evening…”No one messes with Joe”….
i guess that would be because he messes with himself…
alexraye on February 24, 2009 at 11:45 PM
It’s not that they got so many in (eh, it is miraculous) but how many more are left over.

Put this on after The One’s address. See if MSNBC has any more rude remarks.
IlikedAUH2O on February 25, 2009 at 12:40 AM
Look at it this way. Joe is the perfect example that government bureaucrats tend to be incompetent. By himself, he could serve as the reason why we need a smaller government.
Upstater85 on February 25, 2009 at 1:00 AM
Boy, its a good thing we dodged Palin….
jimmy the notable on February 25, 2009 at 1:14 AM
Hey…”Nobody messes with Joe!”
sdd on February 25, 2009 at 7:36 AM
For a moment I guess Joe thought he was BO when he asked the guy in the wheel chair to stand up. He forgot he has to go and put his hand on his head and say “HEAL” first. And this is our number 2 with the grand old lady Pelosi number 3. Makes me sleep good. NOT
hillbilly on February 25, 2009 at 7:45 AM
Stand up Chuck and let me see ya. Oh, well God love ya and what am I talking about?
OMG that is just too funny.
Jamewah on February 25, 2009 at 8:18 AM
Economic Stimulus Czar who has NEVER run a business, written a payroll check, managed a budget???? What could POSSIBLY go wrong? Either 1. These fools don’t understand taxes and economics, or 2. They are intentionally running down businesses, employment, and the economy. Has to be one or the other, and both are verrrrrrry bad.
marklmail on February 25, 2009 at 8:29 AM
I wouldn’t put Biden in charge of a two car parade. Clearly Obama has no give-a-rat’s-butt level of interest in making sure the trillions are spent wisely. Otherwise he would have put the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz in charge of the audit team instead of that doofus vice president he has. And that porky, tough guy GS 13 IG from the Interior Department who is going to do Binden’s heavy lifting? This guy looks like some party aparachik from the politburo who looks like a greasy Philly Cheesesteak heart attack in waiting.
kens on February 25, 2009 at 10:08 AM
Did Chuck Graham stand up?
Jerricho68 on February 25, 2009 at 12:25 PM
OuLoudOpinion has someone read Michelle Malkin’s weekly column for a podcast. I suggest she read her own weekly column for a podcast.
Jerricho68 on February 25, 2009 at 12:27 PM
The look on his face after he realizes what he just said is just priceless. Poor guy…
