Biden on cheerleaders: ‘The stuff they do on hard wood, it blows my mind’

[Casino67]

Daily Caller:

 

Vice President Joe Biden may have stuck his foot in his mouth again on Friday, using an awkward off-the-cuff phrase to compliment high school cheerleaders during a campaign stop.

 

According to a pool report from Biden’s stop at Newport High School in Newport, N.H., the vice president arrived to talk to “about 100 students in their sports uniforms waiting for him in a semi-circle.”

 

“He cradled a football under his arm as he spoke,” the pool report, written by The New York Times’ Trip Gabriel, reads. “He began by asking which teams were represented — football, soccer, lacrosse and cross-country. Any others? He asked. ‘Cheerleaders,’ a group of girls shouted.”

 

“Guess what, the cheerleaders in college are the best athletes in college,” Biden said. “You think, I’m joking, they’re almost all gymnasts, the stuff they do on hard wood, it blows my mind.”

Oh I love Joe. I think he should get his own TV show, in Nov. He'll need a job then.

Oh I don't want him to shut up, just move from DC after election

I know people who work at U of Delaware where he lectures, or did, and they love the guy. I think he gets away with the things he says because he says them so innocently. If he were like Schumer or Reid, he would have been gone long ago.

What's up with this couple... (no pun intended)

 

That's evident in a video that was going viral on Friday afternoon. The video shows Jill Biden introducing her husband at a campaign event in New Hampshire. She’s looks down at her remarks and says, “I’ve seen Joe up close" while inadvertently holding her hands apart.

One step from the presidency. Sigh.

 

Almost seems like they would be better at this point.

Right?

I did laugh, though.

[cudjo]

laugh and cry at the same time, the very thought of him taking over as President would be time for double prayers
