According to a report, while recently attending the Gridiron Club dinner in Washington, an annual event where powerful politicians and media elite get a chance to cozy up to one another, Biden told his dinnermates about the existence of a secret bunker under the old U.S. Naval Observatory, which is now the home of the vice president.
The bunker Biden talked about is believed to be the secure, undisclosed location built for former Vice President Dick Cheney after the 9/11 attacks.
Eleanor Clift, Newsweek magazine's Washington contributing editor, said Biden revealed the location while filling in for President Obama at the dinner.
Adding credence to Biden’s boast is the part of the report stating that:
In December 2002, neighbors complained of loud construction work being done at the Naval Observatory, which has been used as a residence by vice presidents since 1974.
The upset neighbors were sent a letter by the observatory's superintendent, calling the work "sensitive in nature" and "classified" and that it was urgent it be completed "on a highly accelerated schedule."
Residents said they believed workers were digging deep into the ground, which would support Biden's report of a secret bunker, but officials never confirmed the purpose of the work performed.
The revelation is the latest from Biden, who has a long history of political blunders.
One wonders if Biden was drunk when he divulged the location of the secret bunker. A YouTube video at the second link below shows a drunk Joe Biden the day after the Democratic National Convention.
Anyway, it only took Biden a couple of minutes to convert a multi-million dollar secure bunker into a wine-cellar.
Maybe the vice-president is cleverly trying to get a new, improved bunker somewhere with better amenities. With Biden, you never know.
