The Biden Report: VP Thanks Bush, Gives Troops Hot Dogs
EmailABC News’ Cullen Dirner reports:
The Vice President made an appearance on Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report,” where he delivered a message to former President George W. Bush.
“Mr. President, Thank you. You have honored these guys, you have honored these women, you’ve honored these troops and I have known you your entire eight years as President. I’ve never known a time when you didn’t care about what happened, we’ve disagreed on policy, but you deserve a lot of credit Mr. President,” Biden said.
Colbert reaching across the table and into the frame of the camera added, “Mr. President I never disagreed with your policy.”
The show given in order to honor military service members, was centered around the recent drawdown of U.S. troops in Iraq. “I am confident they are going to get a Government,” the Vice President said.
Colbert pushed the Vice President to throw the troops a “parade” to send the message that we had in fact won the war. Biden was eager to point out that their Administration had not gone so far to use that terminology, “if you’ve noticed, we haven’t said we’ve won it, we’ve said this is a significant milestone,” he said.
But it wasn’t all serious talk on the late night show, Biden made his first appearance in disguise, handing out hot dogs to troops in the audience. It was until host, Steven Colbert demanded a hot dog that he was even noticed, “Hey! I’ll take a dog. Hey hot dog guy.” Biden surprised viewers as he shouted back, “Hey man, to you it’s Mr. Vice President hot dog guy.”
Colbert explained it is not every day you see the Vice President handing out hot dogs. “Mr. Biden sir, I am sorry, I didn’t expect the Vice President to serve hot dogs,” he said.

Oscar Wilde said that “life is an imitation of art.”
Oscar Meyer asks if that hot-dog vendor really is Biden, or is Biden really a hot-dog vendor?
The logical next show? Barack Obama on Celebrity Apprentice. Maybe that’ll move the poll numbers. Maybe he’ll actually learn how to do the job along the way.

LMAO.. The VP knows that the attacking of BUsh is not working today, poll show people fed up with this adminstration blameing everyone else for their failures..
According to a government report, the nation’s health care tab will go up — not down — as a result of Obama’s sweeping overhaul, arming critics who say the president was wrong to insist it would cut costs.
Obama VS America

he seems to be the only one in the democrat party that realizes that bashing Bush no longer works. Has anyone else noticed that everytime he opens his mouth he contradicts what the president and Dem party are saying???

Ok, you Republicans were right when you told us eventually Biden would say something stupid in public. You win.

Biden needs to speak to Obama about respecting past presidents and not bad mouthing them at every chance since could not carry their jock strap.
You may not have like Bush but he was a man unlike the punk we have now. A punk that lies, doesn’t keep his word and bad mouths his own country are maybe not where was he born?
I have a question how does this weasel sleep at night knowing the country considers him a traitor to his promises?

a citizen————-Yeah you’re right…I miss bank bailouts, corporate greed, high gas prices, and a war based off of a big fat lie just like you! He should respect Bush for all of that!

Biden really is P.T Barnum. I am from a section of Pennsylvania that borders Delaware…by 10 miles so I am familiar with Biden and his tenticles. He was selected by Obama so Obama could also put Pa. in his pocket. I have seen the video and the message to President Bush and I have to give Biden credit (I can’t believe I’m typing this)for what he did. He has more character than his boss.

The joke’s on all of you. Biden didn’t mean what he said, this is a comedy show, fake news people, they hate Bush and are still poking fun.

I think he is well suited to hand out hot dogs.

We haven’t said we’ve won it? That’s cause they can’t define victory. It would inflame the Muslem world and oBama can’t have that. Better to be against American instead.
