Gaffe Machine Biden Reveals Location of Secret VP Bunker
Biden Reveals Location of Secret VP Bunker
The vice president, well-known for his verbal gaffes, confirms at a dinner the existence and location of a secret hidden bunker that Cheney is believed to have used after the 9/11 attacks.
Joe Biden, well-known for his verbal gaffes, may have finally outdone himself, divulging potentially classified information meant to save the life of a sitting vice president.
According to a report, while recently attending the Gridiron Club dinner in Washington, an annual event where powerful politicians and media elite get a chance to cozy up to one another, Biden told his dinnermates about the existence of a secret bunker under the old U.S. Naval Observatory, which is now the home of the vice president.
The bunker is believed to be the secure, undisclosed location former Vice President Dick Cheney remained under protection in secret after the 9/11 attacks.
Eleanor Clift, Newsweek magazine's Washington contributing editor, said Biden revealed the location while filling in for President Obama at the dinner, who, along with Grover Cleveland, is the only president to skip the gathering.
According to the report, Biden "said a young naval officer giving him a tour of the residence showed him the hideaway, which is behind a massive steel door secured by an elaborate lock with a narrow connecting hallway lined with shelves filled with communications equipment."
Clift continued: "The officer explained that when Cheney was in lock down, this was where his most trusted aides were stationed, an image that Biden conveyed in a way that suggested we shouldn't be surprised that the policies that emerged were off the wall."
In December 2002, neighbors complained of loud construction work being done at the Naval Observatory, which has been used as a residence by vice presidents since 1974.
The upset neighbors were sent a letter by the observatory's superintendent, calling the work "sensitive in nature" and "classified" and that it was urgent it be completed "on a highly accelerated schedule."
Residents said they believed workers were digging deep into the ground, which would support Biden's report of a secret bunker, but officials never confirmed the purpose of the work performed.
The revelation is the latest from Biden, who has a long history of political blunders.
Most recently, he said in a televised interview that if a family member asked him about traveling he'd advise staying away from public transportation or confined spaces to avoid swine flu -- a remark described as "borderline fearmongering" by an airline spokesman.

Wild Thing's comment.........
My gosh, I can't get over that these morons are running the country. What in the name of everything that is holy, were people thinnking when they voted these nitwits into office. And it doesn’t just stop with the President and the Vice President, it allllll the way down through the chain of command, or shall we say, the chain of ascension.
So he’s given away the location of his own secret hidey-hole, ay. What a doofus. He just made the game of hide-and-seek much easier, if the day ever comes that he has to make like Saddam Hussein and scuttle down his Spider Hole. Finding him will be much more efficient.
Its not the real, secret bunker. IT’s just the one they told him about. heh heh
Secret service agent on the phone “Hey chief, the VP asked where the secret bunker is. No sir! I’m not that foolish. I just told him it was in his basement and he went away.”
There used to be a day when the Russians would have to get a female spy to sleep with and drug a target in order to get him to divulge info.
With Biden, all they have to do is to have a television camamra & pretend to admire him , hang on every word he says and they could get the codes to our nuke missle launchers.
.......Thank you Lynn for sending this to me.

Well now that the flipping idiot has given away the location to this secret (excuse me.....EX-secret) bunker, maybe he will start spending time there to see if the enemy can find him. We could all donate a sensing device attached to Biden to help them locate him. Did this jerk ever spend ANY time in the military? I agree Chrissie....we have a bunch of morons trying to run this country and this is just another example of how inept they are!!!!!!!

Tsk Tsk. Idjits!!! Way to go Dims.. To think that Kerry went to Paris to undermine national security when he had our own press there all the time at his disposal. Like Buford T Justice's son whom he only called "Junior"(Mike Henry). We're all beaming with pride that Hussein Osama picked you Joe.
I'll bite my tongue and be nice to him, considering the source.
If I Only Had A Brain
I could wile away the hours
Conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain
And my head I'd be scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain
Oh, I would tell you why
The ocean's near the shore
I could think of things I never thunk before
And then I'd sit and think some more
I would not be just a nuffin'
My head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain
I would dance and be merry
Life would be a ding-a-derry
If I only had a brain
So much for "name, rank and serial number", quite a contrast in character, ethics and gravitas between the two VP's, neither of them with former military disciplines and only the former with everything intact including a brain, intellect and good sense, back to God's reason for mules. Pull down those trousers Joe, Oz wants another of your nice winning smiles for the camera.

John - Biden was the classic draft dodger during Vietnam. Of course, so was Cheney. Biden is the guy in the bar that everyone else wants to get a few drinks into so they can be entertained by his erroneous simplicity(like stupid gaffes).
Biden is a total idiot. I bet Putin is smiling at this clown show called the Obama Administration.

John, LMAO
"maybe he will start spending time there to see if the enemy can find him"
That would be so funny. I can just imagine
that. Biden sitting there waiting, waiting
and talking to himself. heh heh

Good one!!!!

Tom, yes I bet when Putin heard about this
he laughed for a long time. For a different
reason then we have, I can see Putin amazed
at how fast Obama and his administration are
making changes to our country.
