President Biden told a series of cringe-worthy jokes about his Irish ancestry to mark St. Patrick’s Day, cracking that he’s surprised his distant Irish relatives aren’t “in jail” and that he’s “really not Irish” because he doesn’t drink alcohol.
The 80-year-old president, who is roughly five-eighths Irish, made the seemingly stereotype-laden attempts at humor***
“I’ve been to Ireland many times, but not to actually look up, to find my actual family members. And there are so many — and they actually weren’t in jail,” Biden said to scattered laughs as he recalled a six-day visit in which he met his relatives.
“There’s still a place called Finnegan’s pub… that’s related to my family,” the president went on.
“I’m the only Irishman you ever met though that’s never had a drink, so I’m OK. I’m really not Irish.” ***
At one point in his remarks Friday, Biden recounted meeting a corrupt Scranton political leader named “Paddy” as a child — noting humorously that the crooked pol always did what he said he would do.
Paddy was like “a late [Chicago] Mayor Daley, you know, brother-in-law on the payroll kind of thing,” Biden recalled — just a day after House Republicans released bank-record information on Biden family income from China to Hunter and James Biden, presidential daughter-in-lawn Hallie Biden and also an unnamed Biden. *** You’re wondering why I like Paddy?” Biden’s grandfather supposedly said.
“He said…. let me tell you something, ‘He’d looked at you say, ‘Ambrose. I’m going to cut your heart out.’ And you know he’d mean it,” the president recalled.
“Or, ‘Ambrose, I’m going to jump off the bridge for you.’ Whatever he said, he’d do — just remember, do what you say. Do what you say.” ***

Not Irish because he kisses ass at 10 Downing Street.
Especially Serbs.
I’ll leave the Russian jokes to you you stupid Hoser.
See what I did there son. I made a funny about the retards in The Great White North.
What diplomacy.
Really? I thought they were too busy arresting peaceful protesters who were invited in to the Capitol.
That’s great.👍
Yes!
Irish spent 800+ years getting out from under Brits, but in a generation or two they fellate the EU and surrender their cities to invading Muslim hordes. Maybe Biden is the exemplary son of Erin, championing abortion and homosexuality like his pre-Saint Patrick ancestors…
Reminds me of some of that Irish humor in Mark Twain’s Library of Wit and Humor.
I wouldn’t insult the Irish (even those alcholics and convicts) by numbering Biden among them.
Biden’s mouth is where road apples originate.
I recall a comedian who said he is (truly) half-Korean/half-Irish ... and so if he attends a family reunion he can’t get a ride home!
The pregnant pause before the start of a demolition derby.
That doesn’t sound very Puerto Rican to me!
WE HAVE PROGRAM FOR YOU!!!
Best SCTV episode ever!
Yep, that too. They are so busy... 😡
Dear Biden:
Pog Mo thoin.
Sincerely,
