Vice President Loose Lips in the Balkans

Exiled? Or just a getaway? Joe Biden revealed the "undisclosed location" ... the secure area for the safety of the Vice President of the United States in the event of danger. When confronted about it, the story changed and it became a room upstairs at the VP residence that had been turned into a bedroom.

What?

Then Joe Biden found himself in the Balkans.

Rush Limbaugh referred to an article by Eleanor Clift in the Detroit Free Press:
"If Eleanor Clift reported it accurately, if the referenced undisclosed location was indeed classified, then I am told that Joe Biden, the vice president, may be subject to 37 United States Code section 793 which says that "such an action shall" -- not the usual "may," but "such an action SHALL" -- "be punishable by a fine or up to ten years in prison." Now, admittedly this is going to have to be fact checked, but if indeed...

"The reaction to getting Biden out of town and the quick re-characterizing of what he said here -- and we know that he flaps his gums off and says the most uncontrolled, undisciplined things.

"But all this talk about how stupid Sarah Palin is, how risky she would be in office, and here's Biden potentially violating a federal law punishable by ten years in jail, by revealing the secret bunker where any vice president is taken. Not just Cheney, where any vice president is taken during an attack, and now, "No, no, no, no! It wasn't underground. It was upstairs bedroom." An upstairs bedroom with electronic equipment on the hallway with a steel door? It's hard to believe. So that's why, among many other things, the vice president is in the Balkans."
If America comes under attack, Joe Biden may have compromised his own safety.
