When wind blew over a Teleprompter while he was addressing the commencement crowd at the Air Force Academy on May 27, 2009, VP Joe Biden joked: "What I am going to tell the president when I tell him his TelePrompTer is broken? What will he do then?'' (AP Photo/Ed Andrieski)

It depicts Joe acting like a veritable fire hose spraying out a stream of inappropriate remarks, and Obama nearby thinking “I should have picked Hillary.”

May 29, 2009 - 18:22 ET by R D HelmVice President O'biden announces to a stunned crowd that he has decided to resign his post as VP in order to accept the newly created post of Ambassador to Shangri-La.
He says he isn't exactly sure where it is, but he remembers reading in a book that it is located somewhere in the Himalayas.
He then informs the hushed crowd that Robert Gibbs has been selected to personally escort him there, with strict orders not to return until it is found.
