Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, November 12, 2009

Two U.S. Secret Service armored vehicles used to protect Vice President Biden struck and killed a pedestrian in Temple Hills early Wednesday morning, authorities said.

The vehicles were traveling together from Andrews Air Force Base at about 2:30 a.m. when the pedestrian was hit at the intersection of Suitland Parkway and Naylor Road in Temple Hills, U.S. Park Police said.

The drivers stayed on the scene and rendered first aid until police and rescue officials arrived, said Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan.

The pedestrian, an adult male, was transported to Prince George's Hospital Center in Cheverly with multiple critical injuries, police said. He was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.

What kind of drivers are they hiring? I've gone 40 years without even coming close to running someone over!

Maybe they went to the same driving school as the New Mexico cop who got killed while serving in Bush's motorcade a while back.

It's assumed you're a fairly responsible adult if you wait until your 43rd birthday to get your first driver's license.

Nanc couldn't drive until she was 43?? WTF?

Would this be his "Cheney hunting" moment?

Ummmmmm no. Biden wasn't driving. Cheney was the shooter.

You're reaching. Surprise surprise.

"Would this be his "Cheney hunting" moment?"

Did Biden get drunk and shoot an old man in the face while on a pretend hunt during all of this? Is he going to make the old man apologize like Cheney did?

But on the other hand, I wouldn't be shocked if the guy who got hit was probably going to live and then Biden tried to give him some words of encouragement and dude intentionally swallowed his own tongue.

Accidents are accidents!

What kind of drivers are they hiring?

Considering it is the US Secret Service, the very best in the world.

Are you implying that the driver is (automatically) at fault (because it is the Secret Service)?

The kind of drivers they hire are the arrogant kind who believe the little people should get the fuck out of the way because Biden has important things to do and can't wait for the little people to get throught.

Joe Biden is an asshole and his drivers too.

If the secret service acts anything like the army I am not sure about the drivers' qualifications. If the army promotes mediocrity in the name of diversity, I am sure the secret service does likewise.

Of course they are.

And you have personally met SS drivers, and specifically the drivers hired for Biden, to make this conclusion.

Yes. The Secret Service is all about mediocrity. The Secret Service is just like the Army.

Any other complete inanities you care to post here?

I don't think this thread's taking quite the turn Nanc hoped.

And parts are parts. What's your point?

Except Cheney directly caused his "accident", Biden was not driving or even in the car that struck this guy. C'mon, you are really stretching here.

BIDEN SLIDES - PERSON DIES!

Did you even read your own article?

The vehicles, ....were heading back to a garage at the time of the incident....

...Biden returned to Andrews much earlier and was already at his residence at the U.S. Naval Observatory in Northwest Washington at the time of the incident

The only connection is that these cars had been part of a motorcade for Biden earlier in the day. Please, how do you expect to have even a modicum of rationality if you keep trying to make this tenuous connection?

The real issue is the waste of our dollars in providing endless expensive security for these losers. If you can't take the pressure, then don't run for office.

So a vehicle that had once transported Biden somewhere was in an accident later on?

And this revelation posits a response like...

Joe Biden is an asshole and his drivers too.

Wow, there's no hate like tard hate.

Be Well.

It's guilt by association, TFD.

It's become ingrained in their propaganda since they have little of real consequence to aid them.

Even though Obama has had Biden fitted with a muzzle, and has ordered the Secret Service to shoot him with a tranquilizer dart if he gets near a microphone, Biden STILL can't stay out of the papers.

Losers...

Losers like the POTUS and VPOTUS?

So those two should drive their Chevys or take Metrorail to work everyday, like the rest of us working slobs?

Can't take the pressure... Hmmmmmm... So you think
POTUS and VPOTUS ride in heavily armored limos surrounded by highly trained and aggressive security personnel because they simply can't take the pressure?

Are you really that stoopyd, or are y'a just trying to yank some chains here?

A little from column A a little from column B.

But seriously, it does seem there's always more money for security stuff but never any for social stuff.

Plenty of metal detectors for schools that have no books. Money for war but not for healthcare, etc.

Did Biden tell the guy to stand up?

Biden STILL can't stay out of the papers.

And even though he's only tangentially involved in this story, it won't stop you from dredging the depths of your stupidity and vomiting it onto this thread.

Shut up.

Grand Theft Auto - Liberty City

The Legend of Joey B.

Secret Service -- on their way to a garage... at 2:30AM in the morning?! Without Biden, what's the point? Late night for the federal fellas?

Shut up.

Struck a nerve, did I?

I heard this whole incident actually happened to another Veep, but Biden plagiarized it.

This thread shows the lack of any validity to a certain subset of the DR.

The same subset has in the past proven to be just as moronic.

this is no difference then before.

Luckily they are old, irrelevant and Sarah's death panels will take care of them soon enough.

Calling it a "Biden motorcade" when it wasn't driving him around is misleading. He wasn't in any of the cars and it wasn't driving him around, so it isn't a motorcade. Suggesting that it might be Biden's "Cheney hunting moment" -- as if he had anything at all to do with this accident -- is completely absurd.

The quality of critical links against the Obama administration on the Retort has gone into the toilet lately. Most of it is nonsense like this, which makes it more difficult to find legitimate stories critical of the president.

If you are one of the critics of Obama posting here, passing along the dumb stuff just makes it easier for him to avoid real criticism. You are helping the Democrats when you do this.

#29 - On behalf of Democrats everywhere, I demand that you Obama haters put a (ha ha) stop to these inflammatory articles (tee hee) right now, because you're (har har har) killin' us here. The pain is excruciating.

Guffaw.
