"Stand up, Chuck, let 'em see you. … Oh, God love you! What am I talking about? I tell you what. You're making everybody else stand up, though, pal. … Stand up for Chuck!"—Telling Missouri State Sen. Chuck Graham, who is bound to a wheelchair, to rise at campaign event, Columbia, Mo., Sept. 9, 2008

Thank you, I needed that laugh. Curiously, Joe "Who's Ridin'" Biden did have one quote that is so profound and so astute in how it could be utilized in a response to the question "From the far-left side of America, how do you think they would describe the first 9 months of the Obama administration?" that it almost deserves it's own category... That answer, of course:

"A successful dump!"—Explaining his whereabouts (dropping deadwood at the dump) to the reporters outside his home, Wilmington, Del., Aug. 20, 2008

Not even a mention of my favorite one.....

Yes, Biden makes many gaffes, and a lot of them are very funny, but overall I think he's intelligent and competent and makes a good vice president.

Obama himself would probably like to zip his lip sometimes, too.

Personally, I enjoy his "Bidenisms" and don't see anything arrogant or evil in his slip-ups and misspeaking. He's just not the elegant speaker Obama is and sometimes gets tongue-tied and clumsy.

"Slate" is very good at reporting things like this.

Some people will stop at nothing to try to get rid of anyone in Obama's administration, and I think that's why this thread was posted, but I see nothing sinister in Biden.

I think Colbert hit the nail on the head when he said that Biden was the "drunk uncle you always try to hide from the rest of the family."
