Vice President Biden called the manager of a custard shop outside of Milwaukee, Wis., a "smartass" after the man asked him to lower taxes.
Biden made the comment Friday after the Kopp’s Frozen Custard shop manager told him that his dessert would be on the house if he lowered taxes. "What do we owe you?" Biden is heard saying in footage captured by WISN-TV . "Don’t worry, it’s on us," the manager replied. "Lower our taxes and we’ll call it [the custard] even." "Why don’t you say something nice instead of being a smartass all the time?" Biden said a few minutes later. Biden had walked in to Kopp’s mistakenly asking for ice cream instead of custard. The manager said later in an interview with WISN that he thought Biden didn’t seem happy initially about the taxes comment, but that the vice president later whispered that he was just kidding. Biden was in Wisconsin to hit the campaign trail with Democratic Senator Russ Feingold. Just days earlier, the vice president told a crowd of Feingold’s supporters gathered at a fund-raising event that "there’s no possibility to restore the 8 million jobs lost in the Great Recession." He then added that he and the current administration "inherited a god-awful mess." After he wraps up his time with Feingold, Biden will visit the Gulf Coast on Tuesday to survey the damage caused by the BP oil spill. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/06/27/biden-calls-custard-shop-manager-smartass-taxes-comment/  You can't let this guy out in public without handlers. He's the gaff that keeps on gaffing!

Bye bye Biden! Then saying in a speech that 8 million people will never get back to work? I expect to see Robert Fibbs on tv sometime soon fixing Bidens latest mess. |

Being press secretary is one job I would NEVER want! Check this out: "We are all Americans, whether you are legalized or not." This is the outrageous belief of the U.S. Sec. of Labor. You may have seen her PSA ad (http://is.gd/d5xgX) and toll-free number to ensure illegals are "paid fairly". But did you know she is now using Federal resources to help illegals working in the Gulf cleanup? She even may b...e harrassing ICE to keep them from checking their citizenship status. But you wouldn't know about it, since it's ONLY been covered in SPANISH MEDIA (http://is.gd/d5yvX). But Michelle Malkin is on it. Let Sec. Solis know how you feel about her advocacy for illegal alien workers at the D.O.L.Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/departmentoflabor (Keep it clean, and be aware--they are notorious for censorship of their page) If you're on here join this page and tell her what you really think of her and tell all your friends about it too. |

It only buys the APPEARANCE until he opens his mouth ... he ain't called 'Gaffe-O-Matic' for nothin' ... I honestly cringe everytime he opens his mouth because he usually give up top secret information that our enemies oay spies top dollar for. He will be the only VP in history with his Security Clearence revoked.

It sounds to me like the guy was being a smartass. Personally, I think it's refreshing to hear a politician say it like it is. Lighten up people, it's not like this gaffe was about policy, it was about custard. What kind of fool argues over an icy treat?

It's about representing your country with class. Not calling a hard working American that is taxed out the a## a smartaSS or dropping the F'Bomb all over the news. |

Maybe F bombs offend you, but they don't bother me. And calling a person who is being sacastic a smartass is not the worse thing that can happen to them. Truth is this is a non-story. Of course if the hard working American had studied government he'd know that congress, not the vice-president is in charge of leveeing taxes. |

Money and position can't buy class ... finally, something we agree upon except it can buy the APPEARANCE/IMAGE of class and image is as good as gold in our culture Yep. Just look what an " image " did for Obama. He didn't even have to say anything of any substance to get elected President. The media handed America an " image " and they just lapped it up because he was " Such a GREAT speaker ( even though he just read from a teleprompter something someone else had written FOR him ) " and promised " Hope and Change " ( My GOODNESS but isn't he GREAT?!?!? * insert girlish squeals of delight * )and he's gonna beat up all those mean and evil " rich people " ( whoops...he MEANT the Middle Class ) " I mean, my gawd. If people had actually been paying ATTENTION to what he WASN'T actually saying, rather than getting sucked in by an image, they might, just MIGHT ( although the recent elections in a certain state seem to indicate otherwise ) have realized that Obama simply wasn't, and ISN'T the right man to be President. So..MsHarmony....how long do you think it's gonna be until the " Great Man " puts on his big boy pants and starts taking some responsibility for what is currently happening? How long do you think it's going to take him to " man up " and stop blaming a previous administration? When are we going to hear him say something OTHER than " I inherited..." And.....when he gets his *** voted out....are you going to give the NEXT President ( in all probability a Republican or at least a Conservative ) the same pass for failure that you are so willing to hand out for Obama? |

Let me give you a hint, Obama picked him as his running mate. |

The president of the Senate does not make laws.
He is just there to see that the rules of order are followed during debate and such. |

The president of the Senate does not make laws. He is just there to see that the rules of order are followed during debate and such. The hell he doesn't. He has a full office at the capitol and works there to push Obama's agenda through. He also gets to vote in certain situations. It's just foolishness to think the VP has no say or influence on passing laws. Not to mention he was a Senator before being VP. |
