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:

When in Belgium, do as the most famous Belgian does:

There's not much else to do in Brussels.

I can’t tell if these were prepared remarks he’s reading off a like teleprompter like his boss or if he’s just talking out his a$$ again. Bottom line is he may be the worst vice president in American history.

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.-- J. Biden

These guys seem to be in a competition to determine who can put down and insult America the furthest. Biden is an idiot but we can't disregard Obama in this department, either.

The “telepromter administration” :)

Well, we have had some bad ones, Agnew comes to mind. But this guy seem to be proud of his stupidity.
