Biden spreads his own special kind of St. Paddy’s Day cheer

God love ya, Joe. If you didn’t exist, we’d have to invent you. Red Lasso picks up this remarkable round of diplomacy from our esteemed Vice President Joe Biden, who bungles an introduction for Irish PM Brian Cowen at a celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. Biden reminds us why none of us want to ever see Barack Obama impeached:
Vice President Biden added to his lengthy list of gaffes Wednesday when he took a moment to honor the memory of the Irish prime minister’s mother — a woman who’s very much alive.
“God rest her soul,” Biden said as he introduced Brian Cowen and President Obama at a St. Patrick’s Day celebration at the White House Wednesday. …
“Wait … your mom’s still, your mom is still alive. It was your Dad (who) passed. God bless her soul. I gotta get this straight,” Biden said.
It would have been nice if he’d gotten it straight before opening his mouth — but then he wouldn’t be Joe Biden. Stand up and let ‘em see you, Joe!

Clan Fhearguis goes back to the Irish, to 536.
We have a long history, fellow Scot.

My humor is warp. Some got it. Some don’t, don’t you know?
Most tell me I’m full of it.

Seems loner. I thought it was 435. Current future-ex Mr. Katy used to be an Orangeman in Canada. Granny would have cut his throat and called for the pudding.

As I understand my Clan history, we founded the Scot monarchy at Kilkerran around 536AD. The current Baronet still resides on an estate there.
One of my ancestors got in range to shoot Washington. Be he refused to shoot an Officer in the back. Charles later died on a hill in North Carolina–multiple American bullets in him.

Normal? That ain’t cracked up to what the shrinks say! And who trusts a shrink? They’re crazier than their patients!

Thank you, Ed, for spelling “Paddy” correctly! It’s all too common to see it spelled “Happy St. Patty’s Day” (the feminine version) and it just grates on me, lol.
Disagree tho on not wanting Biden as POTUS instead. Sure he’s an insensitive blithering idiot, but he’s not BFF with Wright and Ayers. America would be safer with him at the helm (which just proves how awful the current POTUS is for me to say that!).

If I had found I had invented a Joe Biden, I’d quit inventing.

All Biden’s gaffes make him look like a nincompoop, but they’re essentially harmless. What if he’s carefully cultivating a reputation for stupidity to get his enemies to “misunderestimate” him? I’m going to start calling him BIClaudius.

Absolutely not! I would vote for the boob ahead of the slimmy Chicago Way politician any day.
