Vice President Joe Biden, who stirred modest speculation about a possible presidential run with a visit to Iowa this week, had his own Brian Williams moment back in 2007.
During a CNN/YouTube Democratic debate in June of that year, Biden said he was “shot at” inside the Green Zone in Iraq then later walked back the comment to say that a mortar round landed roughly a few hundred yards away from a structure where he was staying overnight.
The Green Zone in Baghdad is a heavily fortified 10-square-mile area that houses Iraqi government offices, the U.S. embassy, and military headquarters that once were located in Saddam Hussein’s Republican Palace.
Biden, whose gaffes and garrulous ways have become legendary through more than four decades in politics, was in the middle of making a point about how difficult it would be to redeploy U.S. troops out of Iraq if a president decided to withdraw in six months.

Slow Joe is so special he deserves his own category. If there was a Hall of Fame for idiots he'd have his own wing of the building.
Uncle Joe for Prez! Stupid rocks!
