Not content to simply alienate our allies, we’ve now decided to kill their mothers.

Wednesday night, during the White House St. Patrick’s Day celebration, Joe Biden was tasked with introducing Irish Prime Minister, Brian Cowen.  Unable to let the opportunity to say something stupid pass him by, Biden asked God to bless the soul of Cowen’s dear, departed mother.

It might have been a sweet moment, had she actually been deceased.

As it is, Mrs. Cowen is very much alive.

Seriously.  Aren’t there people who are supposed to brief Biden on these things?  If they’re not going to do that, at least hire someone to put a muzzle on him.  That mouth of his is getting ridiculous.
