Whoa shit what were you thinkingJOE BIDEN’S MOTORCADE KILLS PEDESTRIAN: In the vice president’s latest “gaffe,” his motorcade, which was not carrying him at the time (so is it really a “motorcade” then?), struck and killed a pedestrian last night at 3 a.m. The big news here is that Joe Biden even has a motorcade. No but seriously that’s awful. [Raw Story]

Is the motorcade a Muslim?

Drag racing again? Damn kids need a curfew.

“…which was not carrying him at the time (so is it really a “motorcade” then?)”

If it’s not carrying Biden, it’s referred to as a “motorcade”.

If it is carrrying Biden, it’s referred to as a “motormouthcade”.

Walking the streets at 3am you’re bound to get tired.

Mr Blifil November 11, 2009 at 3:45 pm

Why does Biden’s motorcade include a Predator drone anyway?

Neilist November 11, 2009 at 3:45 pm

When Vice Presidential Motorcades are outlawed, only outlaws will have Vice Presidential Motorcades.

Extemporanus November 11, 2009 at 3:45 pm

Also, was President Obama prepared to take that 3 a.m. call, or did it automatically get forwarded to Hillary?

vladster November 11, 2009 at 3:47 pm

So its gonna be death-by-motorcade for all you uninsureds.

SayItWithWookies November 11, 2009 at 3:52 pm

Cue the inevitable “If he doesn’t know what his motorcade is doing at three in the morning, how can he be trusted to X?”

trondant November 11, 2009 at 3:53 pm

Was Undead Novak driving?

rambone November 11, 2009 at 3:53 pm

I demand to see the death certificate!

queeraselvis v 2.0 November 11, 2009 at 3:56 pm

This is good news for John McCain.

snideinplainsight November 11, 2009 at 3:58 pm

Is “motorcade” in this sense the late train from Union Station to Wilmington?

JMP November 11, 2009 at 3:59 pm

“which was not carrying him at the time” – which will not stop Fox and pals from calling Biden a murderer, and talking as if he had strangled the pedestrian to death with his own hands.

Snarkalicious November 11, 2009 at 3:59 pm

[re=456159]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: Bullshit! This was just a test-run.

Boojum November 11, 2009 at 4:00 pm

The pedestrian was struck by the left front quarter death panel.

Monsieur Grumpe November 11, 2009 at 4:03 pm

The rumor is it was suicide. Mr. Deathwish apparently threw himself under the wheels several times until expired and then some.

Naked Bunny with a Whip November 11, 2009 at 4:04 pm

Did it happen only four blocks away?

…Please don’t ban me. I’m so lonely.

shadowMark November 11, 2009 at 4:06 pm

[re=456163]JMP[/re]: Bet there are already websites with over-enlarged digital photos that APPEAR to show Biden in the car.

problemwithcaring November 11, 2009 at 4:08 pm

Whilst I dare not speculate on teh interwebz, but Southeast is the unluckiest place in DC to get in a car accident and need a good emergency hospital. Or really anything.

shadowMark November 11, 2009 at 4:10 pm

In Meghan’s new book this will be all of Chapter Five: “Biden’s Motorcade of Death: What it Means to Me and Young Women Republicans Everywhere”

thesheriffisnear November 11, 2009 at 4:12 pm

Undoubtedly manned by Blackwater operatives

JMP November 11, 2009 at 4:17 pm

[re=456176]shadowMark[/re]: Hey, there was already an insane “Obama death list”, including claims he killed his own grandmother, to go along with all the ridiculous Clinton murder bullshit; so there’s probably already multiple wignuts coming up with conspiracy theories about this death.

All will ignore the sensible explanation that this was 3 AM, on a weeknight but before a day many people in Washington have off, so the dude/girl was probably as staggering drunk as Laura Bush when she killed a guy while driving herself.

Prommie November 11, 2009 at 4:25 pm

The Biden Juggernaut! Crushing all enemies, let the Biden Juggernaut roll!

bored with gravity November 11, 2009 at 4:29 pm

[re=456176]shadowMark[/re]: There are probably sites showing that Biden was at the wheel of the deathmobile, with a maniacal gleam in his eye.

its 3 am…
do you know where your motorcade is?

Spike November 11, 2009 at 4:55 pm

So the motorcade was just going out for a 3:00 AM joyride?

Jim89048 November 11, 2009 at 4:58 pm

[re=456176]shadowMark[/re]: This has “Arrested Development” written all over it.

Wugou November 11, 2009 at 4:58 pm

Remember when our last Vice President shot a guy in the face? Good times. Biden, you need to up your game if you want to strike fear into the hearts of your subjects like Darth Cheney did.

the problem child November 11, 2009 at 5:00 pm

How can a motorcade strike someone? Or did both vehicles hit the pedestrian?

Zadig November 11, 2009 at 5:03 pm

[re=456176]shadowMark[/re]: Along with audio of Orly Taitz using her best Old-Man-Voice, saying “Run that motherfucker over”.

But seriously, shit sucks.

Click November 11, 2009 at 5:04 pm

[re=456234]the problem child[/re]: Actually his motorcade consists of an old Ford and a unicyle.

bitchincamaro November 11, 2009 at 5:09 pm

Are we sure the vic wasn’t another Euro goalie?

swizzard November 11, 2009 at 5:14 pm

This is news? As freshmen at GW, we were told to STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM THE MOTORCADES, THEY WILL NOT STOP AND THEY WILL KILL YOU before we were shown where the dorms were.

blowhard November 11, 2009 at 5:28 pm

Death by motorcade is the leading cause of death here in DC. Recent studies show that a pedestrian is flattened by a black SUV every 19 minutes in the Washington metro area.

uptop November 11, 2009 at 5:45 pm

You know how many times I’ve almost been Novaked by a Vice Presidential motorcade? I lost count after 10. To be fair to Biden, most of those time were not in 2009.

SkoalRebel November 11, 2009 at 5:51 pm

Joe!

Paul Tardy November 11, 2009 at 5:56 pm

The wheelman of the lead car must of been Blackwater. Xe Xe Xe

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Biden. Hey can I call you… an ambulance?”

Lionel Hutz Esq. November 11, 2009 at 6:10 pm

Isn’t it obvious that the evil force that is the once-and-future Vice President, Dick Cheney, must come out and night and possess the Vice Presidential Motorcade and uses it to hunt when it hungers?

glamourdammerung November 11, 2009 at 6:25 pm

[re=456132]DP[/re]: I was thinking Mitch McConnell myself.

Bruno November 11, 2009 at 6:30 pm

Does Biden rate one of those deals where they have 3 different motorcades, just to through off the anti-USAmerican terrists?

TVarmy November 11, 2009 at 7:19 pm

[re=456348]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: How can that which has no heartbeat ever leave vice presidential office?

sarcasticusername November 11, 2009 at 7:26 pm

was this really the best plan joe could come up with to finally become president? seriously, someone must have told him hopey doesn’t really do that walking thing anymore, unless it’s on water.

Norbert November 11, 2009 at 8:18 pm

I call bullshit: Biden’s weapon of choice is an Amtrak train.

ladymacbeth November 11, 2009 at 9:38 pm

cabs, people. they are there for a reason.

Long Form Def Certificate November 11, 2009 at 10:38 pm

He’s well ahead of Cheney’s kill-rate.

If you exclude that whole “Iraq War” thing.

LowerdPeninsula November 12, 2009 at 2:46 am

So, we have roving bands of Secret Service (SS) were-motorcades traversing the streets of the district at all kinds of unholy hours, eh? Does anyone want to take a gander as to how many permutation of conspiracy theories Glenn Beck can make out of this one?

This situation can be easily remedied, though. With the thousands of bullets sloshing around the streets of crime-riddled Washington on any given night, I’m sure they’ll be able to find some that are silver.
