Maybe not disastrous, but memorable. You will hear about Vice President Joe Biden's trip to the Wisconsin custard shop many times over the course of the next five months. The simple campaign-like stop will give conservatives even more ammunition in an upcoming midterm election season that already looks ominous for President Obama.
Walking into a custard shop and asking where the ice cream is isn’t a huge offense. Homer Simpson would do it. Joe Biden did that when visiting a Kopp’s Frozen Custard store in Wisconsin on Friday.
However, it was the follow-up exchange that’s generating a lot of buzz.
After Biden gets his custard, he asks the store manager how much he owes him. “Lower our taxes and we’ll call it even,” the manager replied.
Biden didn’t acknowledge that. Refusing to even look at him, Biden turned and walked away from the manager, appearing to just blow him off.
A few minutes later, Biden is caught on video again telling the manager: “Why don’t you say something nice instead of being a smartass all the time? Say something nice.”
The manager went on to tell a local TV reporter that the vice president went up to him later and whispered that he was just joking. The manager also said, however, it didn’t appear to him that Biden appreciated the comment.

Why is a comment about taxes being a smartass?
On my recent vacation, I went to check out the Butler Ridge Wind Farm. And since Kopps was nearby and was included in one of Food Channel’s best in the country specials, I made sure I eat lunch at Kopps.
The burger was dry. The fries were okay. The chocolate shake was good but not great.
