It was a big effing year for Uncle Joe Biden. Let’s look back at some of his finest moments:
7) ‘Joke of the Day,’ Joe Biden edition
Biden to CNN: "There's no obvious reason for me why I think I should not run" for President in 2016. –@KateBolduan
— Vaughn Sterling (@vplus) February 7, 2014
Really, dude? You can’t think of a single one?
Oh, there are many obvious reasons. "@AaronBlakeWP: Biden: ‘No obvious reason’ I shouldn’t run for president http://t.co/lMzNJKn5Dd”

Stay tuned for six good ones.
6) Smilin’ Joe Biden amuses some, creeps out others during SOTU [pics, Vine]

Nobody does diplomacy quite like Joe Biden:
.@VP says he signed photo to Netanyahu: "Bibi I don’t agree with a damn thing you say but I love you." "We really are good friends," he adds

4) ‘Thought this was from The Onion’: Joe Biden says president ‘put me in charge of this hemisphere’
We’ll give him this much: He’s got a way with words.
Biden, noting his diplomatic outreach in the Americas: "The president's basically put me in charge of this hemisphere." #PlanetBiden

That sounds like a big job, Joe. Sure you can handle it?
@CarrieNBCNews @GayPatriot The dude can barely navigate his own brain's two hemispheres!

3) Biden: Those who oppose LGBT rights are ‘the troglodytes’
Here’s a sure-fire way to win hearts and minds:
Biden, on American supporters of LGBT rights, per pool report: "They are the majority, and those other folks, they are the troglodytes."
— Chris Geidner (@chrisgeidner) June 25, 2014
Come on, man.
.@chrisgeidner @jamespoulos Do troglodytes have no rights?

2) ‘What year is this?’ Joe Biden rides ‘the Orient’ express to Idiot-ville again
Oh no he di’int! Wait, yes he did:
And #Bidenrrhea of the mouth strikes again. RT @timkmak VP Joe Biden refers to Asia as "The Orient." https://t.co/RcSgFmoOQt
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) September 17, 2014
“Bidenrrhea” really is the perfect word for this.

1) ‘Folksy’ Vice President Biden chided for referring to unscrupulous bankers as ‘Shylocks’
Remember this one? It was … well, it was really something:
Joe Biden used the term "shylock" today. That's Vice President Joe Biden.

Well, Mr. Vice President, are those reasons “obvious” enough for you?
