Joe Biden the dumbest man to ever be vice president has another mistake...

Let's be honest...if this was Dan Quayle or Cheney is would be on first thing mentioned on Leno, Letterman and The View.

 

WASHINGTON — Joe Biden, the gaffe-prone vice president, strayed from tradition Monday at the swearing-in of Republican Mark Kirk, the new senator from Illinois.


Biden, who is president of the Senate, began by instructing Kirk: "Please place your right hand on the Bible."

Kirk, a Republican, did as instructed, putting his right hand on the Good Book and raising his left.

Oops. Here's guidance from "Traditions of the United States Senate," by Richard Baker, the Senate historian from 1975 to 2009: "Senators-elect affirm their oath to defend the U.S. Constitution by stepping forward, raising their right hand, and repeating the words spoken by the presiding officer. Some carry in their left hand a personal Bible or other sacred text."

I recall the man recentely told someone the job of VP is not that difficult and he'sjust showing how unqualifed he is to daily check on the health of the president and attend the funerals of third world dictators.
