Vice President Joe Biden served up a zinger at a Milwaukee, Wis., frozen custard shop Friday, telling the manager to stop "being a smart a- -" after he asked for lower taxes.
When Biden went to pay for his vanilla cone with chocolate flakes at Kopp's Frozen Custard, the manager initially said: "Don't worry, it's on us," according to a local television station.
After Biden insisted on paying, the manager said: "Lower our taxes and we'll call it even."
Biden, who has a long suffered from foot-in-mouth disease, then chided the worker to, "say something nice instead of being a smart a- - all the time."

This j*ck*ss Biden (and the rest of his ilk) need to reminded that he works for that store manager.
Ears, Plugs, Cankles, Fish Head - the whole damned cabal - they work for us, not the other way around. Yeah, they can extract taxes from us, but that’s a reflection of the “consent of the governed”, even as badly as the process has been distorted lately.
But the bottom line is it’s not Lord Biden and his subservient serfs. He’s supposed to serve us, and he needs to have that pointed out to him every bloody day (not that’ll do a whole lot of good).
Exactly. The REAL story here is not the crassness of Biden’s reply, but that he would consider the manager’s comment an insult in the first place. Why is being a “smart-ass” to use a moment when you have the ear of a high-office holder to ask for more control of your own money?
“Don’t worry about it Mr. Biden. We’ll send the bill to Neil Kinnock”
BiteMe needs an eye exam, the manager can see the writing on the wall. He knows that sharing the wealth means less frozen custard people can afford to buy.
Boss gives employee a bonus.
He replies, “No, no—I’m not worthy.”
Boss: “But I expect good things from you now.”
Employee: “Don’t be a smart a**.”
(Long pause)
Boss: Clean out your desk ...
If only.
Don’t you mean “a big F-N smartarse?”
Soros gets all excited every time he thinks of the Marxist, homosexual, ignoramus, infantile, America-hating, destructive, lawless puppet that he put at the helm of our beautiful country. And then there’s Brainless Joe, the icing on the cake.
The Republicans need to play this gift smartly and let it overshadow Joe Barton’s “apology” to BP.
The Vise President has officially entered Twerpdom.
What a 100% maroon. “Awww Chuck...Le’t all stand up for Chuck...”
Hmm, in the video the custard guy said Biden later whispers to him “I’m just kidding”
When ‘the 0ne’ is 0ne and Done it may be interesting to read Biden’s book - or maybe not......
Sounds like a democrats answer.
Theyre Biden and The Brain
Yes, Biden and The Brain
One is a genius
The others insane.
Theyre laboratory mice
Their genes have been spliced
Theyre Lyin
Theyre Biden and The Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Braaaaaaaaaaaain.
The story is also not on MSNBC. These two news organizations are the scum of the earth. If it were Dick Cheney they would break into regular programming to announce it over and over again. My daughter was getting her oil changed today and MSNBC was on the waiting room. The lady newscaster was saying she did not understand why Obama's poll numbers were dropping. And that Obama was doing a great job. There were 4 other people in the waiting room and they looked at each other and rolled their eyes. Our President is a buffoon!
Even the most illiterate in Milwaukee area can gossip.
This story will not be well received.
More appropriate: "I'll see what I can do about it. Thanks for your feedback."
Interestingly enough, this fellow was asking for lower taxes (and this provoked a hostile response from VP Biden).
Haven't there been other exchanges when people have asked for "free things" (e.g. house payments) from BO, and he has jokingly said he'd take care of them?
But there's a big difference between a small business owner asking for a tax break to enable his business to grow, and some freeloader asking for a house payment. It's harder to grant the small business tax break, but the small business tax break benefits more people. Granting (or promising to grant) the second item to an individual makes the grantor look magnanimous but it does not solve the underlying structural economic problems.
Here's another take on it. The store manager was asking a grown-up request of someone he thought was another responsible grown-up. VP Biden didn't anticipate the question and was visibly irritated. I hope it gives him some food for thought.
Based on their recent public statements, both BO and the dufus appear to be obsessed with asses. Seems about right for this administration.
Apparently, so is the media!
