VP Joe Biden added to his rolling list of gaffes twice this week—first by assuring the public that 'the president has a big stick,' and then by telling a group of donors they look 'dull as hell.'
Joe Biden never ceases to entertain, as about 200 Turkish-American and Azerbaijani-American Obama donors learned Friday morning at a breakfast in Washington, DC. They didn't realize that, when attending a Joe Biden fundraising event, you can't just show up and write a check—you've got to get excited! In typical Biden fashion, the ever-jovial VP teased the crowd for being subdued. "I guess what I'm trying to say without boring you too long at breakfast--and you all look dull as hell, I might add," he said. "The dullest audience I have ever spoken to. Just sitting there, staring at me. Pretend you like me!"
Earlier in the week, the vice president was down in what he calls “Ever-Gators”giving a speech on Florida’s prized—and endangered—wetlands. In addition to flubbing the Everglades’ name, he joked with a businessman and Everglades advocate present, telling the audience that Ron Bergeron wanted Biden to wrestle alligators with him. “You see this man right here? My Service guy?” He asked Bergeron, motioning to the agent behind him. “He said that if I go, he’ll shoot you, Ronnie. I’m only kidding. That’s not true. He didn’t say he’d shoot Ronnie. He said he’d shoot the alligator if I went.”
