Vice President Joe Biden, well-known for his verbal gaffes, may have finally outdone himself, divulging potentially classified information meant to save the life of a sitting vice president.

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 is believed to be the secure, undisclosed location former Vice President Dick Cheney remained under protection in secret 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, who, along with Grover Cleveland, is the only president to skip the gathering.

According to Clift's report on the Newsweek blog, 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."

Clift continued: "The officer explained that when Cheney was in lock down, this was where his most trusted aides were stationed, an image that Biden conveyed in a way that suggested we shouldn't be surprised that the policies that emerged were off the wall."

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.

Most recently, he said in a televised interview that if a family member asked him about traveling he'd advise staying away from public transportation or confined spaces to avoid swine flu -- a remark described as "borderline fearmongering" by an airline spokesman.

Talk about someone needing a muzzle.  This man is an idiot and a dangerous idiot at that.

Some would argue that you're an idiot that needs a muzzle.

If it's a secure bunker, what's it matter if anyone knows it's location.  I know the location of the safe at my bank but I can't get into it.

There would be a major difference if you live in that town.  What might have seemed like an insignificant military base will now be a priority target if something does happen.

Something like what?

[me]

Another terrorist attack.

[Henry Hawk]

he is an idiot gum-flapper...who may have given out classified information....there was no need to TELL anybody about it in the first place, but yet he did.

[Exterminator]

Another terrorist attack.

So they're going to fly an airplane into the ground above an inpenetrable bunker?  Let's assume the terrorists were able to build a fully functional atomic bomb and somehow manage to deliver it to the very spot where this facility is and detonate it.  Any idea how much damage the bunker would sustain?  That's right...none, zip, zilch, nada...it was built specifically for that.  Knowing that, whay would it make a better target than, say, the Sears Tower or the Golden Gate Bridge?

This fear-mongering would almost be funny if it weren't so pathetic.

[Exterminator]

Yeah, it was a big secret!

[Henry Hawk]

Yeah, it was a big secret!

What is your point?........he is still a moron...who is known for saying moroninc shit.....he divulged info that is better to just keep to himself.....he just shows he should NOT be in the position that he is in.

Rumours are rife in Washington about the nature of building work being carried out at the Naval Observatory, which includes the official residence of the vice-president of the United States.

Neighbours upset by the noise were sent a letter from the observatory's superintendent which said: "Due to its sensitive nature in support of national security and homeland defence, project specific information is classified and cannot be released."

The letter went on to say that the work was urgent and needed to be done "on a highly accelerated schedule".

A spokeswoman for the US Navy told BBC News Online that the work was "an infrastructure and utility upgrade".

Mr Cheney was taken to secure locations after the 11 September attacks

[Exterminator]

What is your point?........he is still a moron...who is known for saying moroninc shit.....

So are you! 

[Henry Hawk]

So are you! 

pretty good for a monday morning!!  it took less than 10 minutes for you to drop one on me...

He must have had an extra cup of coffee and it stimulated his brain...

Talk about someone needing a muzzle.  This man is an idiot and a dangerous idiot at that.

This isn't a political blunder, it just simply highlights the cowardice of cheney shivering in his own "spider hole" fearing the next round of anthrax attacks and planning his next assault on the Constitution; coward and traitor.
