Maybe that’s his problem: he’s trying to recall IP numbers …
HAR! His genius is as stunning as his hair plugs.
Well…we were waiting for him to say somthing stupid…and good ol’ Joe, never one to disappoint, payed-off. Gota’ love that dope…
Very disappointing to hear of such a mishap from an elected official. I expected more from a Vice President.
So, what is the number?
Interesting, http://recovery.gov/ do not respond to ping or tracert
[Please drop the WWW from URLs as WordPress doesn’t display it properly… plus it’s unnecessary. – ed.]
Website number/ URL. Big deal.
recovery fail.
Don’t nobody mess with Joe!
Funny. I got 216.35.173.236. Try it: http://216.35.173.236
Is Joe too good for DNS or just ignorant about how the Internet works.
I miss Sarah Palin.
Dan Quayle is smiling right now. Joe has proven time and time again who is the dumbest VP ever.
Web number, URL…ok, this one can slid…but not as interesting as Obama’s statement that “the nation that invented the automobile cannot walk away from it.”
I’ll take every opportunity to make fun of Joe “Stand Up-Chuck” Biden but I think this was just an innocent slip of the… Damn: I take it this isn’t the VP who invented the internet.
RBG
Insert Dumb Blonde Joke here
Biden so l33t, he no need DNS servers…

Why would you think it had to respond to ICMP traffic? It isn’t a requirement for a website.
Joe Biden, a walking, talking asshole.
Hey, Metaluna does not want their network compromised so the Interociter does not have a direct connection to Earth’s Internet. Give him a break.
wow was biden blonde in his younger years???
This is stupid, a slip of the tongue and everyone jumps on him. You are trying too hard.
# 19 Jason said, “This is stupid, a slip of the tongue and everyone jumps on him. You are trying too hard.”
Come on. Neolibs have been doing this to Repukes for 8 years. Your refrain is a few years too late.
Jason go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QY8wCZSgM0 and look at the whole thing. Old Joe was such a bumbling fool the entire time that it was difficult for me to watch. I mean I like train wrecks and all, but this was ridiculous.
#17, Metaluna, Interociters, This Island Earth all makes sense now.
Really.. this is much less egregious than Ted Stevens. Biden was asked about the web address for a government initiative. The web site was NOT the core of the initiative. Stevens was the chairman of a committee with oversight of the internet and was setting policy for it.
#23 of course! That is why it is the Ted Stevens Award. He is the pinnacle. Biden will never top him.
There are many phrases and expressions that are out-dated or mismatched.
Anyone dial a phone recently? We haven’t had phones with dials in 20 years.
Only a mouth breathing computer geek that never gets laid would even bother to be concerned with such a meaningless and petty story.
Here’s the number Joe $2.7 million

So was Biden one of the ones claiming McCain couldn’t use a computer?
#27
Hey leave us sex starved geeks out of this one… I could care less that he suffers from Foot in Mouth disease. The last VP set the bar so high Biden is still looking good to me.
The last one set the bar so high Biden could be caught with a drawer full of kiddie porn and still look better.
At least Joe is working to make this a better country. That can’t be said about his predecessor or campaign rival. Nor any of those Republican speed bumps in the way to recovery.
Yo, Dvorak. we got YOUR number, too.
