Comparing Chenney to Biden is like comparing the Encyclopedia Britannica to Mad Magazine. In a twist of uniquely apt irony, Mad features morons laughing at anything of substance in the world while proclaiming "What, me Worry?" It wouldn't be that much of a stretch to imagine Biden's face as a viable replacement on the cover.
Vice President Joe Biden is currently under fire for adopting a drawl and telling a group of black supporters that Republicans âgonna put yaâll back in chains.â But this is not the first time the vice president has been dogged by offensive remarks.
ONE. Biden kicked off his 2007 White House run by condescending to his current running mate, saying that then-Sen. Barack Obama was the âfirst mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.â
He later apologized for the incidentâbut his penchant for crossing the line stuck with him on the campaign trail.
TWO. Biden falsely boasted that Delaware was a slave state to explain why he would remain competitive in southern primaries.
âYou donât know my state. My state was a slave state ⦠my state is the 8th largest black population in the country,â he said.
The nationâs first black governor, Virginiaâs Douglas Wilder, recently blasted Biden for engaging in racially charged rhetoric. The Daily Mail reports:
âSlavery is nothing to joke about. And the history of this nationâs involvement with slavery is nothing to pass off in a joke.â
Suggesting that Biden was a liability to Obama, he added that âyou canât continue to make gaffe after gaffe after gaffe and believe that itâs going to be supportive of what you and the president are both trying to doâ.
THREE. Bidenâs treatment of Indian-Americans has earned him plenty of criticism. In 2006, he told an Indian-American supporter that âyou cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkinâ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. Iâm not joking.â
FOUR. The vice president decided to practice that accent on the campaign trail in 2012. In a speech criticizing Mitt Romney for outsourcing, Biden donned an Indian accent to mock the notion of Indians trying to speak English.
âHow many times you get the call, âI like to talk to you about your ⦠credit card,â he said, abandoning the mock accent. âItâs a little over done.â
Biden did not mention that the Obama campaign has spent thousands of dollars on call centers owned by companies in the Philippines and Canada.
FIVE. Bidenâs most recent race-based gaffe, in Danville, Va., Tuesday, has increased calls to replace him on the presidential ticket. Obama is sticking by his man, defending Bidenâs "they're gonna put y'all back in chains" comment.
Obama told People Magazine that Biden was referring to âyou, consumers, the American people, will be a lot worse off if we repeal these [Wall Street reform] laws as the other side is suggesting.â
SIX. "Am I doing this again? ... My memory is not as good as Justice Roberts'."
â Biden, alluding to Supreme Court Justice John Roberts, who flubbed a line during Barack Obama's presidential oath the previous day, before swearing in members of his senior staff. Obama, standing nearby, shook his head disapprovingly and gave Biden a stern poke.
SEVEN. "If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, there's still a 30% chance we're going to get it wrong."
â Joe Biden, speaking to members of the House Democratic caucus who were gathered in Williamsburg, Va., for their annual retreat
EIGHT. "Remember, I said it standing here, if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."
â Joe Biden, telling donors at a private fundraiser in Seattle that Barack Obama will likely be tested by an international crisis during his first few months in office.
NINE. "I'm told Chuck Graham, state senator, is here. Stand up Chuck, let 'em see you. Oh, God love you. What am I talking about. I'll tell you what, you're making everybody else stand up, though, pal."
âBiden, telling Missouri state senator Chuck Graham to stand up at a campaign rally, before realizing that Graham is confined to a wheelchair.
TEN. "I started thinking as I was coming over here, Why is it that Joe Biden is the first in his family ever to go to a university?"
â Joe Biden, during his first presidential run, lifting passages and even gestures from a speech by Neil Kinnock without giving credit to the leader of the British Labour Party.
Biden's problems continued when C-SPAN footage surfaced two weeks later showing Biden inflating his academic record at law school. (His claims included one that he finished in the top half of his class at Syracuse Law School; he graduated 76th of 85.) Though he later called the accusations of plagiarism "much ado about nothing," he dropped out of the race on Sept. 23.
