Biden Reveals Location of Secret VP Bunker
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 under protection in secret after the 9/11 attacks.
Eleanor Clift, Newsweek magazine's Washington contributing editor, said 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 Clift's report on the Newsweek blog, 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."
On Monday, Biden's press office issued a statement in response to this story, denying the bunker report.
"What the Vice President described in his comments was not -- as some press reports have suggested -- an underground facility, but rather, an upstairs workspace in the residence, which he understood was frequently used by Vice President Cheney and his aides," said Biden's spokesperson Elizabeth Alexander. "That workspace was converted into an upstairs guestroom when the Bidens moved into the residence. There was no disclosure of classified information."
In December 2002, neighbors complained of loud construction work being done at the Naval Observatory, which has been used as a residence by vice presidents since 1974.
The upset neighbors were sent a letter by the observatory's superintendent, calling the work "sensitive in nature" and "classified" and that it was urgent it be completed "on a highly accelerated schedule."
Residents said they believed workers were digging deep into the ground, which would support Biden's report of a secret bunker, but officials never confirmed the purpose of the work performed.
The revelation is 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.
Thanks Joe, how about some launch codes, or other secret protocols you want to spout off, Al- Quaida, and other terrorists, really appreciate it.....
I think the Botox needle went to deep into the gray matter with ol' Joe...

We all believed Biden was a wanker plagiarizing loser when he was named VP candidate. This is not surprising, but it is sad that he went and proved it all.

I think he's way above his pay grade, and the scary thing is he's only one heart beat away from being POTUS. I hope the SS does a really good job of protecting bHO, because if anything happened to him we'd really be screwed.
Wouldn't you just love to have Biden in a poker game. I mean real poker, not this hold'm-all-in-made-for-TV stuff.

No, I'm not REAL thrilled about being from the same country as this buffoon, I sure as hell don't want to share a table with him, even if I could take all his money, he doesn't have much that isn't owed to some one.

We should forward this story to Al Jazeera, so the ragheads will know the best place (for us ) to put their bombs. ;D

It could be that those hair plugs have sunk deep tap roots into his brain. No, because we would have to admit that he has a brain.
