Joe Biden
The Republican Party thinks Vice President Joe Biden is embarrassing the US and they would like him to stop.
Shortly after he apologized for using the term "Shylocks" on Wednesday, Biden stumbled into another controversy when he referred to former Singapore Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew as "the wisest man in the Orient."
The Republican National Committee subsequently released a statement claiming Biden had projected "unacceptable imperialist undertones" and should understand such comments "embarrass our country."
"Vice President Joe Biden’s insensitive remarks are offensive to both Asian-Americans and our Asian allies abroad. His comment is not only disrespectful but also uses unacceptable imperialist undertones. It's time for the Vice President to apologize and to understand that his comments embarrass our country," said an RNC spokesman, Ninio Fetalvo.
Biden's office did not respond to a request for comment on the reaction to his remark about Lee.

Biden a a buffoon. The real embarrassment is the ONE. What’s wrong with GOPe for not seeing that. The GOP is an embarrassment
As for the Orient, just because modern victims are offended, that does not erase a couple thousand years of history.
I call on the Republicans to stop embarassing America. Biden is a Dem. Dems perpetually embarass America in far worse ways than this non issue. Let the GOP bitch about something they do that actually does damage.
Asking Biden to stop embarrassing America is like asking Obama to stop betraying America - futile - people have to follow their nature.
One of the most insane comments ever uttered in the Congress was the former Speaker of the House demanding "We have to pass it so we can find out what's in it" or very close to those words and exact meaning. She should have been removed from office that very night by congressional vote for such a blatant abuse of office. Does she sign all her personal financial papers including payments before reading them as well?
Biden I think might possibly becoming Senile and likely not as such fit for office. I don't believe he was ever very intelligent to start with nor fully understood how serious his offices held were to this nation. His lack of intellect meaning a man no one would want as POTUS seems to be the main reason Obama chose him as a running mate. What more job security could anyone ask for than your replacement not being competent to do the job either.
Congress is about the last body in the world to accuse others of being an embarrassment.

Biden is far from competent, mentally or professionally. But I never got the job insurance thing. He;s farore competent than Barry considering anyone being honest with themselves, Dem or Pubbie, knows that Jarret and a few others really are our current president. Barry is a sock puppet with few if any thoughts of his own outside a golf cart.
And in comparison between Biden and that crew, I’d take my chances that Joes incompetence would be orders of magnitude less dangerous than their willful desire to ‘fundimentally change America’.
” Obama chose him as a running mate. What more job security could anyone ask for than your replacement not being competent to do the job either.”.....
Hence the very reason I believe Odumbo is still alive. Who in their right mind would want Biden as POTUS?
If we had a Speaker Of House other than The Cowardly Lion Joe could possibly be POTUS and we’d be OK. Joe would be handled by the DNC most likely and Reid. Other than a VP no one would want for POTUS I have no clue as to why Biden was chosen. I mean he doesn’t have the smarts to turn on Obama with knowledge he likely has access too.
Compared to Barry or the guy that decided to strap a dog to his roof and tank his own election?
Me. Well I don’t WANT the idiot, but he’s less of an idiot and a danger than the other two.
“As for the Orient, just because modern victims are offended, that does not erase a couple thousand years of history.”
Yeah, guess I’m old and out of touch; did not know that Orient/Oriental is on the PC Police’s “Naughty List”. And, being admittedly weak in my English Literature and more specifically Shakespeare, same thing with Shylock. But, being retired and not a public figure, want to guess how much I care :)
I’m sure they picked him for the insurance reason, don’t get me wrong. I just don’t get why in comparison to Obama, so many think he’s worse. He’s a fool to be sure but I don’t see him as any more evil than any other ‘average Dem.’
I truly think this is a case of people just repeating the meme without thinking about it beyond the surface.
I was gonna say nearly every DEM woman in congress but you asked "who in their right mind" LOL.
Biden isn't Gerald Ford. IOW he is not going to approach Obama and say for the good of the nation it's time for you to step down. Do so now and receive a pardon. Nah Biden's not evil as such. He's kinda like Mongo in Blazing Saddles. Used for someone elses purpose {a Pawn} and never quite understands or catches on to the fact.
The Mongo refrence is about the perfect description of him. Absolutely perfect. I can literally see Biden on that bull doing the “Just a pawn in the game of life” speech.
That or Leslie Neilsen’s double for Police Squad/Naked Gun roles LOL.
“Nice Beaver!”
“Thanks I just had it stuffed”
Yup. I can see it ;)
Resign Joke Biden. Take the teleprompter dummy and the rest of your insane clown posse with you.
The “Repubicans” need to go look in the mirror before being too critical of old Joe. When it comes to substantive screw ups, they are way ahead in the stupidity points chase.
