Vice President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. is a veritable gaffe machine who never ceases to amaze. It wasn’t easy narrowing down his verbal miscues to only 10, but here they are: the all-time Top 10 Joe Bidenisms.

1. Republicans want more rapes: While trying to sell President Obama’s jobs bill, Biden hurled a vicious attack on Republicans blocking the bill, saying that if the bill didn't pass, murders and rapes would increase: “It’s not temporary when that 911 call comes in and a woman’s being raped, if a cop shows up in time to prevent the rape. It’s not temporary to that woman. … I wish they [Republicans] had some notion of what it was like to be on the other side of a gun, or a 200-pound man standing over you, telling you to submit.”

2. FDR on TV in 1929: Rarely has a politician gotten as many historical facts wrong in one sentence as Biden did with this comment in a 2008 interview with Katie Couric: “When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened.’ ” Of course FDR wasn’t President when the stock market crashed and televisions were not in use at the time.

3. Recovery Summer: Rarely has a politician made a worse prediction than Biden’s June 2010 promise of a Recovery Summer in the U.S. economy. While touting the President’s stimulus legislation, Biden said, “Folks, the act is working, more people are going to be put to work this summer. … The proof of the pudding is in the eating." Nearly a year and a half later, America is still waiting for all of those jobs.

4. Obama “articulate” and “clean": During the 2008 presidential election, Biden seemingly discovered that blacks can have sound hygiene. Imagine the howls of racism if a conservative had uttered this statement: “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

5. Barbarians at the gate: Even though the President called for increased civility in the public discourse, his vice president couldn’t resist attacking the political opposition. At an AFL-CIO rally on Labor Day in Cincinnati, Biden told the union members: “You are the only folks keeping the barbarians from the gates.”

6. Three-letter word: Former Vice President Dan Quayle was laughed out of town for misspelling “potato,” yet Biden took little heat for his inability to count past three. Back in 2008 on the campaign trail, Biden said: "Look, John [McCain’s] last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the No. 1 job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S, jobs.”

7. Katie’s Restaurant: During his 2008 debate with Sarah Palin, Biden trotted out his working-man sensibilities with this comment: “Look, all you have to do is go down Union Street with me in Wilmington, or go to Katie’s Restaurant or walk into Home Depot with me, where I spend a lot of time, and you ask anybody in there whether or not the economic and foreign policy of this administration has made them better off.” Oops! Looks like Joseph Robinette hadn’t mingled with his working-class cohorts for a while. Katie’s Restaurant had closed down years earlier.

8. Indian accent: Biden perpetuated an ethnic stereotype with remarks in 2006 that indicated only Indian-Americans run convenience stores and doughnut shops. “You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. ... I'm not joking,” Biden said. Imagine the media outcry if a Republican had said the same thing (witness how former Virginia Gov. George Allen was pilloried for a calling an Indian-American, “macaca”—a non-slur.)

9. Big [effing] deal: During the ObamaCare signing ceremony, Biden resorted to a vulgarism in the East Room of the White House when he whispered into the ear of President Obama: “This is a big [expletive deleted] deal”—a remark picked up by the microphone for all to hear.

10. Don’t screw around with me: Biden sounded more like a Mafia thug than the second-ranking government official when HUMAN EVENTS editor Jason Mattera pressed him on his rape comments (see No. 1). “I didn’t use, no no no. … Let’s get it straight, guy. Don’t screw around with me,” said Biden, who went on confirm his original remarks, saying, “Murder will continue to rise, rape will continue to rise, all crimes will continue to rise,” if the jobs bill isn’t passed.

Of course, the 2 gaffes which firmly established O'Biden's intellectual pygmyhood occurred in the Vice Presidential debate with Sarah Palin.

Imagine a US Senator for 30 years who didn't know it's Article I of the US Constitution which authorizes the Legislative Branch of Government...of which the US Senate is one half!

And, imagine a US Senator for 30 years who doesn't know that the Vice President of the United States IS the President of the United States Senate!

Pray tell, how could Joe "Plugs" O'Biden carry out his oath of office as a Senator..or Vice President of the United States without knowing what the US Constitution says?

My points here are "On Point" and backed up with examples of what's being commented upon.

On the other hand Node, you're out in far left field in the weeds and articles you attempt to use to bolster the deranged left's positions are obtuse and out of focus.

"Biden
though not a fave particularly_ of mine _holds nothing on your #43 in that department."...Node

O'Biden would be the class dunce in any academic setting and in any other setting, just a plain dunce.

Funny, I recall George W Bush has a higher IQ than the treasonous clown leftists attempted to foist on America...John Traitor Kerry.

"when in doubt get the ad hominem out, eh, jwhop? shall i do the honours with the well lubricated mr cain?"...katatonic

Is this the beginning of the racist attack on Herman Cain by the far left?

there is no need for racism in exposing the idiocy of mr cain.

and please do tell, was it racism when clinton was accused of sexual misbehaviour? was it the left that did that? why do the right not care about such things when it is one of their "own"?

even cain thinks it is perry's office who stirred this one up. but that pales, really, when set beside his admitted lack of facts on anything, his ridiculous 999 plan, which is already nothing of the sort, or any of the other glaring inadequacies he sports.

i notice rush limbaugh is playing the race card too. if the shoe fits...or even if it doesn't, the conservatives have "better blacks" than the left, right?

Capped his very strange NH speech, and will be a personal favorite for days to come.

some say he was drunk....I offer that the childlike wonder displayed, tipping the bottle on it's side to watch the sweet amber wave.... was pharma-pseudo-cals.

This speech Obama gave yesterday in Aman, Jordan. Speech last(ed) 41 minute, this is (a) montage of O'Bomber stutter for 7 of those 41 minute. No repeats of "uh" used in the 7 minutes. That almost 20% of speech content.

Just for you IQ...since you brought up "brain farts" as a disqualifier. There's more O'Bomber "brain farts"...if you want to pursue this line of reasoning.

Btw, I crossed Rick Perry off my list when I found out he backed the wooden headed moron Algore for Prez. No one who would do that is smart enough to be Prez. However, a 53 second "brain fart" compared to O'Bomber's 7 minutes makes Perry at least 7 times more intelligent than the current infester of the White House.

Most Americans are crossing the days off on our calendars....until the day we can fumigate the White House and send the mental defective Marxist, Socialist, Progressive O'Bomber packing.

Obama may have many brain farts compared to others but if as alleged he has no legality etc and yet won easily last time, it means he has the smartest spin machine on the planet. No startegy has been created to tackle this amazing spin machine.

The silence on Sarah Palin's withdrawal is painfully deafening, she may have pulled off a victory.

The only candidate who can pull off a clear victory seems to be Ron Paul and yet it seems more and more likely that it will be Mitt Romney who will face off with Obama.
