No, John Bolton, They Were Just Laughing At A Dick Joke

Yesterday Joe Biden was yakkin' about foreign policy at NYU and said, "I promise you, the President has a big stick. I promise you." All of the students laughed at this, because, ha ha, penis. Yes, that's what they were laughing at, John Bolton. They were not cracking up at the perceived irony of this statement and Barack Obama's actual record of asserting power versus that of Teddy Roosevelt. Dick jokes, John Bolton. They're everywhere.

Watch Greta, trying to hint that these were college students laughing about cock, and failing:

BOLTON: But I thought the best part of it was at one point, trying to appropriate yet another Republican president, Biden said, ‘you have to speak softly and carry a big stick.’ And then he said, ‘I promise you, President Obama has a big stick.’ And the audience broke out laughing, which is some measure of their belief about how assertive Obama is on behalf of our interests internationally.

VAN SUSTEREN: Yes, it’s — apparently, that’s also going to — that’s made a couple — a lot of — a lot of jokes, too, on the Internet. It is — apparently, that is something that’s not going to go away, at least for a while, for Vice President Biden, that remark.

BOLTON: Yet another one.

Get your mind in the gutter, man.
