Vice President Joe Biden made a joke today at the memorial service for slain MIT police officer Sean Collier:

"One of my favorite poets is Seamus Heaney," said Biden, who is of Irish descent. "I know the congressman thinks I always quote Irish poets because I'm Irish. That's not the reason I do it. I quote Irish poets because they're the best poets and that's the reason why," Biden deadpanned. "And the Collier family knows that, right?"

Biden continued, "But all kidding aside..."

“said Biden, who is of Irish descent.”

And people make jokes about Polish people being stupid.

No kidding.

Question: How many Poles does it take to unscrew Joe Biden?

Answer: There aren't enough Poles in the world to unscrew Joe Biden.

Biden is completely without decorum or dignity. He is a grab ass, is vulgar, makes passes at anyone in a skirt, considers himself God’s gift to womanhood, swears incessantly, lies, cheats and steals. Other than these minor faults he is a brilliant politician.

Joe’s original plan:

“Hey, folks, how’s everyone doing? Yee-ha! What a beautiful day for a funeral, ain’t it? I hope everyone’s doing great today. I know I am. Nothing is better than giving a little talk for a dead guy. Anyway, wasn’t that one hell of a set of explosions at the Marathon? For some of the nearby shops, business was REALLY booming that day!! Bada-bing! There was so much smoke you could hardly see the runners. At first I thought some Irishman farted. And how ‘bout that old codger runner that got blown on his ass? He looked like he was bombed just before he went down. Bada-bing, bada-BOOM!! Ha, ha, ha!! That must have been a hell of a surprise. Probably blew his f-—ing ear drums out. That’s OK, he was probably deaf anyway. I bet he was happy he still had his legs. Hey, do we have any of those people who had their legs blown off in the audience? No? Oh, that’s too bad. I was going to have them stand up.”

Biden learned decorum from Kanye West. Lucky for all he didn't hide in the coffin and blast through it with a shotgun.

The family of the slain police officer has gone through unimaginable pain the past week. To have to endure the incompetent, moronic, blow hard, make political points at their son’s memorial is incomprensible.

That is why he was selected. Because he’s a moron.
