Biden on cheerleaders: ‘The stuff they do on hard wood, it blows my mind’

Vice President Joe Biden may have stuck his foot in his mouth again on Friday, using an awkward off-the-cuff phrase to compliment high school cheerleaders during a campaign stop.
According to a pool report from Biden’s stop at Newport High School in Newport, N.H., the vice president arrived to talk to “about 100 students in their sports uniforms waiting for him in a semi-circle.”
“He cradled a football under his arm as he spoke,” the pool report, written by The New York Times’ Trip Gabriel reads. “He began by asking which teams were represented — football, soccer, lacrosse and cross-country. Any others? He asked. ‘Cheerleaders,’ a group of girls shouted.”
“Guess what, the cheerleaders in college are the best athletes in college,” Biden said. “You think, I’m joking, they’re almost all gymnasts, the stuff they do on hard wood, it blows my mind.”

Don’t be fooled; Barry wasn’t looking at that girl’s rear end. He was checking out her shoes, prior to asking her where she bought them.

“Creepy.”
Creepier still will be hearing a kid say, “I want to be just like Joe Biden when I grow....eeerrr, don’t grow up!”.
That might just deserve a back-hand.

I wonder how this thread would be different if they had properly transcribed what he said, “hardwood?” The world will never know....

Uncle Joe speaks. He delivers! Another foot in his mouth. I think he likes the taste of sole food.

A truly honest man. And you berate him.
A burst aneurism and brain surgery can do that.
