So the media catches Biden swearing on an open mike? The media neeeds to "give me a f'ing break!"

[wndycty]

Now to me it seems like he was doing what folks do all the time, joking with a former colleague:

Oh, That Joe! (No. 48 in a Series) -- Gimme a Break

March 13, 2009 5:40 PM

At an event at Union Station today where Vice President Joe Biden was heralding the $1.3 billion in investments in rebuilding train stations and passenger rails, a microphone picked up one of the former senator's myriad Senate colleagues addressing him, formally, as "Mr. Vice President."

That met with Vice President Biden's standard reply.

"Gimme a f*&$#ing break," he said, apparently unaware that the microphone was on.

Its not like he told someone to f' themselves on the Senate floor during a heated exchange.

1. So Biden makes a lot of gaffes

Most of the time they are harmless and kind of funny.

2. They keep reporting it like it's a big deal.... n/t

[EFerrari]

3. I love Joe Biden. I hope we hear a lot more of him cussing out idiots

in the next four years! :)

5. The MSM needs to go f*&$#k themselves

[Captain Hilts]

12. That's also Vice Prez speak...nt

[snowbear]

6. This will only make his approval ratings go even HIGHER

.

He's just a regular Joe and people love him for it!

7. it's what i love about biden...it wasn't a 'gaffe' when cheney told leahy to go fuck himself

biden would never stoop that low

[rcrush]

8. I love Joe Bidens foul mouth.

He's going to make the next 8 years entertaining as hell.

[vaberella]

9. Does no one cuss?! Wait, are Presidents and VPs no longer human?!

I really don't see how this is news.

[Jennicut]

15. Apparently so. Cheney was actually a cyborg.

Seriously, Cheney was cussing at Leahy in a mean way. Joe was joking around and being self deprecating.

[snowbear]

11. Has it been on the tv news?

.
.

I turned on CNN (after seeing this thread) about 20 minutes ago, and Don Lemon hasn't mentioned it yet..

Guess I haven't had it on long enough..

[LiberalFighter]

13. Someone should put a damn mike on the press and record everything they say.

[amandabeech]

14. Eventually, Joe will let us all know what he thinks.

It's quite refreshing, really.

[Muttocracy]

16. Since when is that his standard reply? I hate that series. We had a president who cared more about

dress code and a VP who thought Senators should bend to his will. No thanks. I just hope the vote-for-the-guy-I-wanna-have-beer-with voters hear about this :)

And I hope Joe's mom wasn't too hard on him!! :o

[jillan]

18. Haha - so he said that because someone addressed him Mr Vice President instead of Joe.

I think it's a perfect response :)
