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 Bidens 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.

One place Joe Biden will never embarrass is his little DE.
Biden is Obama’s impeachment insurance.
Perhaps the republicans should clean their own house before attacking the houses of other servers of the democrat.
I had no idea that the use of the word “orient” was offensive. When did that happen?
It’s funny that the left has the power to magically change the status of words from “common” to “offensive”.
A few years back when the ‘I’m offended’ thing became a hammer for libs. They have trotted it out occasionally.
Also, consider that they ONLY make an issue of it when there’s political advantage. It’s not a big race card for them to play as it doesn’t come up a lot. But when it does, they spaz as if it were the worst thing EVAH!!!
Typical propaganda/drama queen BS for the left.
