Here are the funniest Joe Biden gaffes of all time. The 47th Vice President of the United States has a history of sticking his foot in his mouth. These Joe Bidenisms are classic gaffes the former democratic Senator has made over the years. From his time in the Senate to his time during the 2008 elections, Joe Biden has commited a number of verbal blunders and we can't wait for more from this highly entertaining character. He's almost the Forest Gump of the political landscape. How did this man become Vice President?

Hey Stephanie ---- Quail's political career was ruined because of .. potato-e... In case you haven't noticed, Biden is getting a free ride in this mountain of stupidity.

All this really shows is that if you are Vice President or President or a senator -- anything the media is interested in -- you cannot speak your mind, make a joke, or forget a name like the rest of us can. Nothing promotes dishonesty more than ridiculing someone for making an honest mistake. It seems that the media and the critics expect our leaders to be perfect - indeed, to expect this administration to have resolved several historic crises brought about by the policies of the prior administration in less than two years is high praise indeed; clearly the conservatives think they are dealing with supermen.
