As Joe Biden gaffes go, this one’s a …medium. Biden saluted Brussels, Belgium in the opening of his address to the European Parliament with the traditional, obsequious praise all speakers offer to another country when addressing their legislatures — well, almost all, anyway. However, as Biden is wont to do, he goes overboard, and in the process denigrates his peers in the American political system and his own country:

Ping.

Such a dick head.

[GeronL]

Strange idea of “free”

[WHBates]

He’s just not a very bright man.

[Army Air Corps]

“Plugs” strikes again!

[Sherman Logan]

Pedophile Belgium.

He may be a complete dumbass, but at least he didn’t denigrate their domestic policies while he was addressing them.

Being VP “denigrates his peers in the American political system and his own country.”

Hey Biden baby...check out the EU capital in 6 months...

it trundles at great tax payer expense between Brussels and Salzburgh.

[all the best]

It’s a hard call. Not much freedom left anywhere.

“Gaffemaster B” strikes again!

U.S. Vice President (try not to laugh) Joe 'not the sharpest knife in the drawer' Biden is attempting to mimic Obama's now-routine denigration of the United States of America as the preeminent super power on the world stage. A position we've held for many decades based on our robust ecomomy, strong, efficient military and our people's willingness to stand up to tyranny and help the world's poor.

Today, Obama and the Democrat congress is wrecking the U.S. economy as fast as they can, diminishing our defenses, insulting our allies, apologizing to our enemies and generally attempting to make the U.S. about as important as, oh, I don't know, say, Belgium.

Hey, if that is your view of America - a second-rate, oppressive country entering a steep, well-deserved decline (Obama's view) - then Brussels may well seem to be the most important place on the planet. Especially if you're an idiot like Joe 'I'm not too smart but I can lift heavy things' Biden.

Again:

"Upon furthur (sic) reflection Biden needs to be taken out and shot, preferably by Che."

[beethovenfan]

What a complete doofus.

[Spok]

Is Biden off his meds again?

[Nachum]

The list, ping

“As you probably know, some American politicians and American journalists refer to Washington, DC as the “capital of the free world.” But it seems to me that this great city, which boasts 1,000 years of history and which serves as the capital of Belgium, the home of the European Union, and the headquarters for NATO, this city has its own legitimate claim to that title.”

Remind me again in what country he is (questionably) the #2 political leader.

[Optimist]

maybe we can move the UN there too
