Biden Does It Again: Can't Distinguish Between Tunnel For Cars and Trains

Vice President Joe Biden, gaffe-master extroidinare, has struck again:

Avid train rider and Vice President Joe Biden, on a conference call Monday with reporters, mistakenly claimed that the planned Hudson River tunnel between New Jersey and Midtown Manhattan would provide a much-anticipated route for automobiles.

Problem is, it's for trains.

The $8.7 billion tunnel is among the largest new projects to be funded in the Obama administration's $787 billion stimulus package.

"Look, this is designed, this totally new tunnel, is designed to provide for automobile traffic," Biden said, according to The Record of Bergen County. "It's something, as you know, up your way, that's been in the works and people have been clamoring for for a long time." 


No, Joe, the tunnel is used for trains not cars, and they called Quayle half-witted.
