People love to laugh at Joe Biden’s many gaffes, they say it’s just “Joe being Joe.” But he really is an SOB, is he not? On the campaign trail today he was talking about Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney. He said they’re good people, but then mentioned the book “Young Guns” that Ryan wrote with Rep. Eric Cantor. Biden told the crowd that “those bullets are aimed at you.” How’s that for civil discourse? Which is worse, that or, “They’re going to put ya’ll in chains.”?

Not only that, the gaffe-prone VP also asked how many people had served in Iraq and Iran. Harry Reid raised his hand. I kid you not. This is the guy who is currently a heartbeat away from the presidency. What a frightening thought.

Here’s the video, in case you think I’m making this up.
