Vice President Joe Biden has been accused of putting his foot in his mouth before – but a toddler’s pacifier?
And not just any toddler– Jasper Michael Brown Quintana is the grandson of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Jasper’s mother, Georgina Bloomberg, posted a Facebook picture Wednesday showing the bemused, 15-month-old tot apparently trying to figure out what the veep was doing sucking on his pacifier.
“What’s a boy to do when the Vice President steals your pacifier?”she wrote next to the photo.
Both Biden and Michael Bloomberg were attending a Washington ceremony at which Bloomberg was formally made an Honorary Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, according to the New York Post.
It finally makes sense why Obama chose Biden to be his Vice President… so he wouldn’t be Impeached!
Vice President 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 in secret after the 9/11 attacks.
Newsweek magazine’s Washington contributing editor, Eleanor Clift, says 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.”
FOX News could not immediately confirm the report.
The gaffe is only 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.
