Takes some serious chutzpah for Joe Biden to accuse someone else of being “wrong about everything.”

Via The Hill:

Vice President Biden retuned fire at Robert Gates in a New Yorker profile on Monday, criticizing the former Obama Defense secretary as having been “wrong about everything” through his career.

“Bob Gates has been wrong about everything!” Biden said. “Bob Gates is wrong about the advice he gave President Reagan about how to deal with Gorbachev! That he wasn’t real. Thank God the President didn’t listen to him.”
The vice president went on to say Gates had erred in his assessment of the Balkans and the Vietnam War, “for Christ’s sake.”

“You go back, and everything in the last forty years, there’s nothing that I can think of, major fundamental decisions relative to foreign policy, that I can think he’s been right about,” Biden concluded.

“I can hardly wait—either in a Presidential campaign or when I’m out of here—to debate Bob Gates,” Biden said. “Oh, Jesus.”
