Lord Have Mercy! Pres. Biden Delivers Gaffe-Filled Speech At Religious Meeting

Another signature Joe Biden blunder left attendees of a White House gathering, in recognition of the upcoming Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah, praying for understanding.

In an attempt to up the brownie points with the rabbis in the room, Biden began retelling the memory of his daughter's wedding, which was equal parts a Catholic and Jewish celebration.

Boasting the same memory of the Old Testament as a Monty Python film, Biden tried to make the crowds shout hallelujah, only to confuse the hell out of them.

I asked if that hymn in the Catholic Church ... and they played, my mind is going blank now, what's the song that is played when everybody is on the chair? I can't remember it. Anyway ... I said, 'What the hell's going on here?' I just had one little favor, just that they play 'Eagle's Wings.'"

From praising Yah to yawning, the 46th president's muffled speech sent the rabbis bowing a head — either out of disappointment in their Commander in Chief, or in prayer for his cognition.
