You can always count on Joe Biden to say something stupid whenever he opens his mouth. This time it wasn't asking a handicapped man to stand up, or opining that people shouldn't take public transportation during the flu outbreak, however. This time he revealed the location of the secret bunker most recently used by VP Cheney, which is under the Naval Observatory, on whose grounds is the home to Vice Presidents past and PRESENT. Now he, or any other VP, won't be able to use the bunker, the "secret undisclosed location," anymore.
How idiotic do you have to be to let your political mindset dictate what you do, especially when it comes to matters of security in an emergency? What possible good can come of revealing the location? Does Biden want it to be turned into a museum? That's about the only thing we can do with the bunker now; since everyone knows where it's at, the protective value of the bunker is essentially nil. My question is, will another bunker have to be constructed, and if so, how many tax dollars will it take? Why should we have to pay for another politician's stupidity?
And, of course, Biden couldn't go without taking a shot at the Bush administration:
"He said the 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. 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."
Policies that were "off the wall?" Does he think policies were being made from inside the bunker? I'm pretty sure the policies were already in place, and furthermore, what was so "off the wall" about them? They helped keep us safe for almost eight years. The only thing that sounds "off the wall" to me is what comes out of Joe Biden's mouth.
