Joe Biden Reveals Top-Secret "Undisclosed Location" or Something

[OklahomaTuba]

We sure dodged a bullet with that Palin chick!!

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."

I think it is important actually.

I wonder how much money this setup cost the taxpayer, which Biden's brainless yammering has now rendered useless???

I was literally reading that last night wondering how long it would take Tuba to post it. Whoever had the 4 o'clock hour wins.

If all that stuff is still in there then I'd say it's still pretty safe. False alarm. Everybody back to your desks.

I'm sure this is just a pittance to what Biden has cost us over his senate lifetime.

[yermom]

so there is a hardened safe room in the VP's house?

who would have known?

It's not a big deal as far as terrorism, but it is important when it comes to hostile nuclear powers. From what I understand, once a high-profile bunker becomes well known it essentially becomes useless because a hostile nation can target that location and most bunkers can't sustain a DIRECT nuclear blast.

What's going to happen is they'll build another bunker somewhere else for the same purpose so in the end he just cost the taxpayers millions of dollars.

Basically the same thing happened with the Congressional bunker at Greenbrier. When a reporter broke the story on its existence it became useless so they had to build another Congressional bunker somewhere else that cost God knows how much money.

Yeah, this is a known factor. There is a tunnel and bunker system in the Whitehouse that provides for a evac system of Whitehouse personnel. One also exists at the Capital. What's more interesting is things that are actually important aren't kept in the Whitehouse as it's a pretty obvious target, there are a system of warehouses in which things are kept. It's pretty interesting stuff.

And yes, Palin was an unabashed failure who will never sniff DC in an executive role.

Wow, so what you're saying is that there's TUNNELS under the White House and then there's this stuff that we think would be in the White House but it's not because the stuff is somewhere else?

You have an inside source, don't you?

And what exactly made Palin a failure? She improved McCain's numbers by appealing to the base in a way that McCain couldn't or wouldn't. The fact that she lost the election is not her fault and has everything to do with who was on the ticket above her.

[yermom]

which demographic is that?

who is going to pick Obama over McCain until Palin shows up?

Nobody. I'm not talking about cross-over voters; I'm talking about stay-at-home voters. I know a LOT of people who had absolutely no intention of voting McCain until Palin was put on the ticket. Hell, I myself came close to voting for McCain because of Palin.

You have to understand the degree to which many in the base distrusted and disliked McCain. Palin was seen as the only legitimate conservative on the ticket.
