Vice President Joe Biden, well-known for his verbal gaffes, may have finally outdone himself, divulging potentially classified information meant to save the life of a sitting vice president.

According to a report, while recently attending the Gridiron Club dinner in Washington, an annual event where powerful politicians and media elite get a chance to cozy up to one another, Biden told his dinnermates about the existence of a secret bunker under the old U.S. Naval Observatory, which is now the home of the vice president.

The bunker is believed to be the secure, undisclosed location former Vice President Dick Cheney remained under protection in secret after the 9/11 attacks.

It’s a fakeout.
The real one is in the basement of that burger joint Baraq and Joe went to a couple weeks ago.

Obammie the Commie to Harry Reid: “I have a gift, Harry. And that gift is that I'm not quite as bad as Joe when I'm off the teleprompter.”

To be fair, many people including me, heard that this bunker was there before Joe Blow made it official.

Further proof that Joe Biden is the dumbest man in America.

(He used to be the dumbest man in the US Senate)

Herr Hitler had a Fuhrerbunker, now we have a bunker furor. In honor of this, I changed my tag line from singular to plural.

I remember reading about this years ago during the Clinton admin. Joe is a self-aggrandizing blabber mouth but in this case, he is just stating something the KGB et al knew the day the first bucket of dirt was removed to build this thing.

Question: Why did Clift et al feel the need to reveal this to the public themselves if they thought it was secret information?

Well, considering that there were at least 600 guests at the Gridiron dinner, ya' gotta' think that Biden was making a public announcement. If is was truly secret, after 600 people hear about it, it isn't secret any more.

I thought Karl Roves secret Texas underground weather changing station was the VP’s secret hideout.

Then again, I also heard that the hideout was at the Plame residence.

“This is all a big ta-do over nothing. Biden didn’t ‘reveal’ anything.”

Did you know where it was before this morning?

Maybe he just doesn’t like it, and by revealing its location thinks he can get something better.

The Kids in Charge are making fun of the grown-ups again. If it didn’t have such tragic consequences for our country it would be pure theater.
