Biden Makes Teleprompter Joke

by Rush Limbaugh - May 28,2009


RUSH: Vice President Biden made fun of President Obama yesterday at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.

BIDEN: But it also needs a special brand of strategic thinking that are gained only in the thin air of Colorado Springs. And the windy air of Colorado Springs. What am I going to tell the president when I tell him his teleprompter is broken? What will he do then?

RUSH: Biden was out there making a speech at the Air Force Academy and the wind came up and blew the teleprompter screens around, and Biden then said what’s the president going to do when I tell him his teleprompter is broken? Vice president Joe, ‘Hey, Chuck, stand up, Chuck, hey — oh, good God Almighty, oh, my, what did I do? Stand up for, Chuck, everybody, stand up for Chuck.’


BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: By popular demand, people have been requesting to hear the Joe Biden sound bite from yesterday at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, so here it is.

BIDEN: But it also needs a special brand of strategic thinking that are gained only in the thin air of Colorado Springs. And the windy air of Colorado Springs. What am I going to tell the president when I tell him his teleprompter is broken? What will he do then?

RUSH: Now, this is not something your vice president says about you. Vice presidents don’t make jokes about the president and especially something as close to the president as his teleprompter. See, Biden’s out there in Colorado Springs, I think he’s doing a commencement address at the Air Force Academy and the wind gust blew up and it did something with the aim of the teleprompter screens and that’s when he said ‘And the windy air of Colorado Springs,’ and followed it up with, ‘What am I going to tell the president, his teleprompter is broken, what will he do then?’ So here’s Joe Biden basically running around saying to the Air Force Academy commencement class that our idiot president can’t talk without a teleprompter. That’s just Joe. That’s just Joe. Just like this was just Joe in Columbia, Missouri, September 9th, 2008, asking a guy in a wheelchair to stand up.

BIDEN: Chuck Graham, state senator, is here. Stand up, Chuck, let ’em see you. Oh, God love you, and what am I talking about? I’ll tell you what, you’re making everybody else stand up, old pal. I tell you what, stand up for Chuck!

RUSH: Everybody was already standing up. Stand up for Chuck, they already were standing. He was asking Chuck to stand up and join everybody who was already up, ‘Oh, gee, Chuck, oh, God, love you.’ Here again, Vice President Biden essentially saying at the Air Force Academy yesterday that his boss is lost, is worthless without a teleprompter.

BIDEN: But it also needs a special brand of strategic thinking that are gained only in the thin air of Colorado Springs. And the windy air of Colorado Springs. What am I going to tell the president when I tell him his teleprompter is broken? What will he do then?

RUSH: This is too good. They’ve tried to muzzle him, and it doesn’t work. Everything I’ve heard is that they have tried to muzzle him.
