Vice President Biden’s motorcade was involved in an accident Sunday afternoon in Vancouver, where he has been over the weekend as the leader of the U.S. delegation at the winter Olympics.
Two members of the U.S. delegation – Peggy Flemming, the gold medal-winning ice skater, and Vonetta Flowers, a gold medalist in women’s bobsledding – were taken to a local hospital as a precaution, according to a statement from Biden spokesman Jay Carney.
“They were both evaluated and have since been released,” he said. “Neither the Vice President nor anyone else in his party was involved in the incident.”
The incident marks the fourth time Biden’s security detail has been involved in an accident. The other three took place in November. A car in Biden’s motorcade hit a sheriff’s deputy in New Mexico. The vice president’s advance security detail hit a cab in New York City. And while he was not in it, a vehicle in Biden’s motorcade killed a pedestrian in Maryland. Temple Hills, MD.
Doh!
A metaphor, no doubt.

Someone must be, TRYING TO KILL JOE BIDEN. But who?
I thought he preferred train travel?
He obviously needs to get rails installed for his car..
Mr. Biden, no more sitting in the chair with the round steery-thingy and the vroom-vroom pedal, just sit in the back and watch the nickelodeon DVDs that President Bush left for you… good boy!
I seriously doubt that the VP actually drives, the limousine.
Is this like saying “a gun shot someone”??
WHO WAS DRIVING??
Does 1 car make a Motorcade??
Dad, we keep telling you that you can not drive with dementia, you can help run the country, but no more car keys.
I bet those armored vehicles are a bitch to drive. Heavy as hell to brake, and they have to be a might underpowered. You can only jam so much engine under the hood.
Well, for 7 years the VP motorcade has just been taking Dick Cheney back and forth to his secret place, so they clearly have forgotten how to drive in public…

Funny…I thought he didn’t drink…

#10 You win.
#13 Pedrito, you need new material. I’m starting to feel sorry for you. I’ll try to think of something you can use.
#14 I won’t stop until you feel as sick as I do everytime you use the same old tired words here. So, get comfy, sheeple!
BTW, none of you have answered what is it: was Dumbya right or is Obama wrong?
You will probably see a guy who looks a lot like Samuel L. Jackson walking rapidly with a cane in the opposite direction. Maybe he’s looking for something…
Maybe one of the drivers is left-handed. Secret Service had trouble throughout the term of the first left-handed prez of the 20th century, Gerald Ford. They had it down OK for the subsequent ones, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. Left-handers have an opposite “startle response” from right-handers.
#15 That’s easy. They’re both wrong.
Maybe they need to get him a safer car
#17 said: “That’s easy. They’re both wrong.”
Bingo!
Now, the sheeple will color us Repukes and go on a denial rampage.
while on the subject of lame VP(s) where the fuck is Al AGW Gore hiding?
