Oy! Say it ain’t so, Joe.
Granted, Vice President Joe Biden is a human gaffe machine. But his speech late last week praising his boss for saving the world contained not only the worst quote of the week, but maybe so far this year.
And it tuns out it wasn’t a gaffe, it was part of the speech. And it cleared speechwriters or at best Biden himself.
He said it and seemed completely clueless that he said something that was a real gut-buster.
Biden, touting President Obama’s quiet courage, channeled Teddy Roosevelt, who famously said “Speak softly and carry a big stick.”
Without missing a beat, Biden added, “I promise you, the president has a big stick.”
Paging Dr. Freud.
You can almost hear one of the several bubble-headed bleached blondes on Fox News blasting Biden and the Democrats with, “OK, now you’re bragging. That’s a cheap way to try to get the woman vote.”
The Biden line was priceless for late night comics.
It probably contributed in some perverse manner to the latest GOP critique of Obama as a celebrity who just happens to be president.
Mitt Romney, who famously in 2008, barked “Who let the dogs out” during a campaign speech, this time might want to chant to his supporters, “Can’t touch it.”
What wasn’t reported, because it’s not true, but it’s part of this bit anyway, is that Biden secretly offered tips to Romney on how to come across less square and more hip if he wants to get some of that youth vote.
Biden’s suggestions on how Mitt can be hip:
1. Change name to Mitt Rom.com
2. Have his sons form a boy band and call themselves The Rich Kids on the Block.
3. Centerfold in Fortune 500 magazine.
4. As part of hosting “Saturday Night Live,” Mitt gets to play Mr. Roboto with musical guests Styxx.
5. In the 1950s, President Eisenhower campaigned on stumps with Abbott and Costello. Every so often on campaign trail this time, Mitt can be straight man in comic routines with Larry the Cable Guy.
6. Write forward to new tome “The Book of Mormon Bromances.”
7. Spring break 2013 at California mansion (car elevator off limits)
8. New Cabinet post: Secretary of Tweeting
9. Announce contest Go on a (platonic) double date with Donny and Marie Osmond
10. Pimp one of Ann’s two Cadillac rides.
