Fox Business Anchor Calls Joe Biden ‘Numb Nuts’ on the Air, Says He‘s ’Talking Out of His Backside’

Fox Business Anchor Calls Joe Biden Numb Nuts on the AirA Fox Business Network anchor called Vice President Joe Biden “numb nuts” on the air Saturday when discussing Biden’s recent statements that crime rates will go up if President Barack Obama’s jobs bill is not passed.

Dagen McDowell, appearing on a Fox News panel with Neil Cavuto and several other guests, said she took issue with the “scare tactics” the White House has been employing to get the bill passed.

“They’re lecturing and hectoring,” McDowell said. “President Obama said in July, and I quote, part of the problem with the political proccess is folks are rewarded for saying irresponsible things to win elections or obtain short-term political gain — and then you’ve got Numb Nuts out on the campaign trail talking like, he’s talking out of his backside.”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa,” Cavuto said quickly while the other guests sounded similarly shocked.

As a lot of crosstalk ensued, Fox Business Network correspondent Charles Gasparino asked if anyone was actually surprised Biden was making such statements. He then suggested that calling the vice president “off his rocker” might be a better euphemism.

“I object to calling the vice president a ‘numb nut,’ just to state that for the record,” Fortune Magazine editor Adam Lashinsky cut in.

McDowell, seeming to realize what she had said, replied, “I wasn’t talking about him,” but did not offer any additional explanation.

Mediaite’s Frances Martel described the exchange this way:

This kind of language is prima facie unacceptable in political discourse, clearly, but the video is still something of a marvel, as the rest of the panel tries to initially understand what just happened and then distance themselves from it in some sort of dignified fashion.

Earlier this week, Biden told a reporter who questioned the appropriateness of his statements about rape and murder rates,  “Don’t screw around with me.” Statistics show crime rates have actually fallen in Flint, Mich., the city Biden referenced in his remarks.

MSNBC suspended Time Magazine editor and network contributor Mark Halperin after he called Obama “kind of a d*ck” on live TV in June.

    I hope Fox News doesn’t punish her since liberals say much worse things with impunity – Obama and Biden say worse things about Tea Party folks all the time and no one cares. Now I know what will be on my sign at the next rally I attend…

No one every apologizes for anything they say about the Tea Party or the Republican candidates. The left is so gross. I’m tired of this double standard. She called it like it is. Biden is a joke.

      Regardless of whom McDowell was referring, Biden or Obama, she was right either way. Between Obama‘s proclamation that Republicans don’t want to breath clean air, drink clean water, be protected by police or firemen and Biden’s stupendous remarks on crime statistics, anyone believing this pair of numb nuts must be brain dead. The number of people that fall for this B.S. is much more shocking than McDowell’s slur, nevermind that the prez and V.P. both insult our intelligence daily.

      And while you’re at it, can somebody tell me what it means to be a “what she said” and to be talking out of your rear. What did he say that was “talking out of his behind?“ Do her comments just mean that she disagrees with Biden or is there a deeper meaning to ”talking out of your behind?”

      First of all if she was talking about Biden, yes he is, yes he is, (nice chant) Secondly, this idiot talk about women will be raped without a larger police force. Yeah, I’m sure if we double & triple the size of the departments, there will be the same amount of rapes as they don’t usually happen in front of a policeman, duh? Women need to take more care about where they are and if they feel safe and for goodness sake, take a gun training class and get a carry permit. This makes me feel safe all the time.
      Cops can’t be everywhere all the time and we need to learn to take care of ourselves until you can call 911 and say you shot someone breaking into your house.
      Or like the little old lady who came home from church to find an intruder. She told him to stop in the name of Jesus, Acts 2:38. She called 911, cops came, and asked why he waited to get caught. He told the policemen that the little old lady said she had an AX and two 38′s. Ha!
      At another break in, the lady grabbed his numb nux and kept twisting until he passed out. Ha. See, you can protect yourself, if you think Ahead. The cops can only help out after the dirty deed.

    She should not have retracted her statement. When Joe talks people expect s.h. i.t to come out, or an Fbomb, or some other kind of excrement. It’s almost, no, it IS Joe for s.h. i.t to come out of his mouth when he talks. She spoke nothing but the truth, and should not apologize for it…

      I didn’t think she was talking about Obama – I thought she called Biden ‘Numb Nuts” – which would be completely appropriate, considering.

      That bugs me too that she somewhat retracted it by implying she was really talking about Barry. Well it fits either, so good.

    For anybody who has ever met Joe Biden, calling him numb nuts is kind. He is an arrogant, ignorant man with delusions of grandeur. Biden hasn’t changed since his days at Archmere, where he considered himself “THE ONLY BMOC”. I am embarassed for the people of Delaware who voted this loon in over Cal Boggs, a true gentleman, in 1972 and then send this idiot back to the Senate five more times. Believe me, I think Obama is destroying this country, but God forbid anything happens to him and we get “Don’t screw with me Joe Biden ” in the White House.

      Agreed, BECKFAN. Just sad at one more example of how far we’ve lost our way in this country……. I didn’t like the language or the way the leftist media portrayed the office of the presidency with Bush. And now, I don‘t like my own feelings that it’s somehow warranted using degrading terms for Obama or Biden. Nevertheless, I surely understand how they have driven good people to use such terms.

      You’re right. Listen as they talk over each other about calling the vp … She says “I wasn’t talking about him”. She was dissing Barry. It’s clear.

      Frankly I am ashamed of the way our president is campaigning on our dime.

      In my experience numb nuts describes someone who doesn’t get it (even when it’s as obvious as a kick to the groin). I think that was her meaning.

      She also was speaking of Obama in the sentence immediately prior. I can’t understand how they deferred her meaning to Biden on the set or here in the Blaze post. Either way, she made it clear Biden was not to whom she was referring.

      Thanks for the definition, HUMBLE. I had a good working knowledge of what it meant. : ) Just never in my life would I have used that term for the highest offices in my country…..much less ever heard it used in a reputable news/opinion show. I’m sad for the deterioration of the morals in this country at every level. It is just especially sickening from a “news” channel. I have no doubt it is worse on liberal channels like MSNBC and CNN.

      I can‘t help that I just don’t like where all of this is heading. Common decency is gone. And I’m not that old to feel this way. Darn it! : )

If he get backed in a corner he lies, pulls bogus figures out of thin air, etc. I saw him do it several times in debates with Sarah Palin. I’ve seen him do it several times since. He can, as can all democraps, lie unabashedly, knowing the drive-by-media has his backside (that from whence his utterances emanate).

    What’s the big deal?

    Dopey Joe’s nickname in the Senate is “Numb Nuts”.

    Don’t believe me? Look it up in the official Congressional Record. Dead Ted Kennedy always referred to Joey as “Numb Nuts” when he was speaking on the Senate floor. (I suspect that’s because “Numb Nuts” wasn’t into gang-raping unsuspecting women at the Kennedy Compound. Nothing pissed-off Dead Ted more than somebody who refused to join in the time honored Skull & Bones tradition of raping college co-eds.)
