Joe Biden’s office has complained to the Senate press gallery about a confrontation the vice president had with a conservative journalist last week on Capitol Hill.
Biden aides asked whether Senate rules were broken in the wake of the contentious exchange between the vice president and the reporter.
Jason Mattera, who works for Human Events, a conservative magazine, used a pretext to catch Biden off guard in a Senate hallway and grill him on claims the vice president has made about jobs legislation.
Biden’s office has also contacted the standing committee of correspondents, which oversees the gallery, regarding whether Mattera broke the rules by ambushing him.
Heather Rothman, the chairwoman of the gallery’s standing committee, said the matter is under review.

Liberalism can only exist masked behind lies. When the lie is exposed, its all over. Joe freaked when asked to explain his lies, which is the typical reaction of the arrogant liberal. The expressions these socialist freaks use such as Birthers, Deniers, etc. is based on the same concept of masking the lies.
Have to protect plugs don’tchaknow. He’s so stupid he responds to the reporters who ask him a question or two in the hallways. Can’t have the fool so exposed don’tchaknow.
Biden: Redefining “putz” on a daily basis.
After Biden spent decades in the Senate, his aides ought to know what the Senate rules are.
And the liberals can't stand it. They're sooooooo used to the press kissing their butts... How DARE a reporter challenge them? How dare they? ( Or in this case - How DARE ONE reporter challenge one of them...)
Biden's a narcissistic thin-skinned blowhard...
"Don't mess with Joe?"
Fox news gave great coverage of the first few Tea Party Express cross country National Tea Party tours.
Soon they were told in no certain terms to tone it down, and only report if it is hard news.
Then when the Tea Party Express was negotiating with Fox News to do a Republican Prez Debate in partnership with the TPX, the chatter was that the White House made it perfectly clear that if they did that their correspondent would be pulled from the White House Press pool.
TPX instead partnered with CNN for the debate, which IMO was a much better choice anyway.
ambushing him??
What a freakkin moron.
Come on Joe. Grow a set.
Question:
What’s the difference between Joe Biden and a box full of dumbasses?
Answer: The box.

VP Joe Biden: “Don’t Screw Around With Me”; Stand by ‘Rape’ Reference
The original article (link posted above) states:
“He’s not going to take questions hostile to his agenda. I want to get him in that honest moment when he doesn’t have his talking points and isn’t prepared to spin,” Mattera added.
I think, just maybe, this is why Mr. Mattera went about it the way he did.
Joe is just another butt-boil on a sad, shameful (lack of)administration. Pray for the suffering under this bunch to end soon. Anyone calling themself an American should have no trouble deciding who NOT to vote for in 2012, but, who knows?
Notice the screaming gal who demanded of AN AMERICAN CITIZEN “Who are you with?”
(aka - we are going punish your network if they don’t fire you)
This is really stupid. Biden looks so small by complaining. Not to mention that he has merely insured that twice as many people (or more) will now see the clip.
Dagen was right!
