As frustrating as the Obama administration is likely to be for the next four years, at least Joe Biden’s around to provide a little comic relief. Check out his latest gaffetastic adventure! It was pretty spectacular, even for him (which is really saying something.)

From Barcepundit:

MAN, BIDEN IS A GAFFE WITH LEGS: during his meeting with Spain’s primer minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero in Chile yesterday, Biden thanked Zapatero for his effort… in Iraq (link in Spanish, haven’t found this detail in any English-language media).

As everybody knows, the first decision Zapatero made after his unexpected win in 2004, right after the Madrid train terrorist attacks, was to abruptly and unilaterally pull out from Iraq. So either Biden made a gaffe, or he was thanking Zapatero for angering Bush…

So either our Vice President is an absolute imbecile who has no freaking clue who our allies are in Iraq, or yeah, he was thanking the Prime Minister for giving Bush (and the people of Iraq, by the way) the proverbial finger. No matter which way you look at it, this just doesn’t look good for the VP, does it?
But at least it makes us giggle… *sigh*

For a more in depth reaction to this rather ridiculous error, check out Hot Air’s post on the subject. I’d delve into the details myself, but eh, they did such a good job at it I’m not sure I could do much better at the moment. It’s been a rough day. Thank goodness Biden’s around to lighten the mood while digging us deeper into a foreign policy ditch, right?

During his first post-election press conference, Obama made an off-the-cuff remark about Nancy Reagan, further proving that he’s an absolute incompetent imbecile without his teleprompter.

When asked about consulting with former Presidents, Obama had this to say: “In terms of speaking to former presidents, I’ve spoken to all of them that are living. Obviously, President Clinton — I didn’t want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about, you know, doing any séances.”

Eesh, and I thought the Democrat’s whole thing about electing one of their own is that we’d actually have an eloquent, intelligent, and “sensitive” President for a change. Whoops, seems like they’ve already blown that one, he isn’t even President yet. Hell, he couldn’t even get through his very first press conference as President-Elect. Wow, this is gonna be fun…

For what it’s worth, he did apologize to Nancy Reagan shortly thereafter. But come on, talk about a low blow. For the umpti-umpth time, he’s let something else slip that he shouldn’t have once he goes off script.
