Once again, Vice President Joe Biden is in the news for making another political blunder. While recently attending the Gridiron Club dinner in Washington, Biden disclosed to his table-mates the existence of a secret bunker under his vice presidential home, the U.S. Naval Observatory. This bunker is believed to be the (formerly) secure, undisclosed location where Vice President Dick Cheney sought shelter after the 9/11 attacks.

According to Newsweek’s Eleanor Clift, Biden “said a young naval officer giving him a tour of the residence showed him the hideaway, which is behind a massive steel door secured by an elaborate lock with a narrow connecting hallway lined with shelves filled with communications equipment.” 

Of course, Biden’s office is now trying to do damage control by denying the bunker report.

“What the Vice President described in his comments was not — as some press reports have suggested — an underground facility, but rather, an upstairs workspace in the residence, which he understood was frequently used by Vice President Cheney and his aides,” said Biden’s spokesperson Elizabeth Alexander. ”That workspace was converted into an upstairs guestroom when the Bidens moved into the residence. There was no disclosure of classified information.”
