Biden Mocks Chief Justice Roberts
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

It’s been barely 24 hours, and already VP Biden has caused his first headache for his boss.

At a swearing-in ceremony today for senior White House staff, Biden, apparently unaware that he would be administering the oath of office to the staffers, “joked”:

“My memory isn’t as good as Justice Roberts’, the Chief Justice of the United States.”

The attempt at humor was not lost on the crowd, which reacted with laughter, one person emitting a long “oh-h-h-h-h!”

It was a lame attempt at mocking the flubbing of the oath of office.

“I knew choosing Biden was a political gamble,” said Obama, “but I couldn’t risk Palin’s kid stealing the normally reliable retard vote from the Democrats.”

HI EDINVA, Rahm was thumbing his nose at Pres. Bush and members of his administration when they were walking into the swearing in ceremonies on Jan. 20, 2009.

He's a piece of work, isn't he?

Thank god he’s not Sec. Of State, right? Sheesh! With a track record like he has, Joe Biden could possibly become this administrations’ Vince Foster, and may god rest Vince Fosters soul. What a Big Mouth you have Joe!

First of all ... he publicly questioned Obama telling him to swear them in. I don’t think Obama appreciated the 2nd guessing but...

Obama is clearly not liking his sense of humor. 1st of all because each time he mentions it, it reminds everyone of it and I think he’d just like to forget it.

Also Obama looked to be shaking his head no as if to say “Say it ain’s so Joe!”

Thank God this a$$hole chose the VP spot instead of Sec. State where he would have had to "work" and could have caused the Country really serious problems.

Yes, NoVA. I managed to go from ‘93-’01 with very few runs into the District. Think I’m gonna have to manage that again.

It’s a “funny gesture” according to Reuters ...

“Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel (R) makes a funny gesture ahead of the inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States on the West Front of the Capitol in Washington, January 20, 2009. Obama becomes the first African-American to be elected to the office of President in the history of the United States.
