Oh dear: Joe Biden makes mind-blowing sexual gaffe about cheerleaders

Two! Four! Six! Eight! What is Biden’s mental state?

Creepily whispering to biker chicks while cradling them in his lap was only the beginning. Today at an impromptu campaign stop at Newport High School in New Hampshire, Uncle Joe made perhaps the gaffiest of gaffes today when he gave cheerleaders a shout-out as only Uncle Joe can:

“Guess what, the cheerleaders in college are the best athletes in college,” Biden said. “You think, I’m joking, they’re almost all gymnasts, the stuff they do on hard wood, it blows my mind.”

If he elaborated any further, nobody heard it on account of the symphony of jaws hitting the floor.

Twitterers, of course, couldn’t help but go to town:

Thats Biden RT @TheToddNewberg: Biden, on college cheerleaders: "They’re almost all gymansts, the stuff they do on hard wood blows my mind’’
