Vice President Biden called the manager of a custard shop outside of Milwaukee, Wis., a "smartass" after the man asked him to lower taxes.

Biden made the comment Friday after the Kopp's Frozen Custard shop manager told him that his dessert would be on the house if he lowered taxes.

"What do we owe you?" Biden is heard saying in footage captured by WISN-TV.

"Don't worry, it's on us," the manager replied. "Lower our taxes and we'll call it [the custard] even."

"Why don't you say something nice instead of being a smartass all the time?" Biden said a few minutes later.

Biden had walked in to Kopp's mistakenly asking for ice cream instead of custard.

The manager said later in an interview with WISN that he thought Biden didn't seem happy initially about the taxes comment, but that the vice president later whispered that he was just kidding.

Biden was in Wisconsin to hit the campaign trail with Democratic Senator Russ Feingold. Just days earlier, the vice president told a crowd of Feingold's supporters gathered at a fund-raising event that "there's no possibility to restore the 8 million jobs lost in the Great Recession."

He then added that he and the current administration "inherited a god-awful mess."

After he wraps up his time with Feingold, Biden will visit the Gulf Coast on Tuesday to survey the damage caused by the BP oil spill.

  • AMERICAN PEOPLE! WHY BOTH PARENTS HAVE TO WORK HARD TO PAY BILLS? THANKS TO REPUBLICANS!THATS WHY OUR KIDS HAVE TOO MUCH FREEDOM AND THEY PLAY VIOLENT VIDEOGAMES .

WHY CANT DEMOCRATS LEGALY ELIMINATE GOP? DO DEMOCRATS NEED SUPREME COURT TO LIQUIDATE REPUBLICAN PARTY? IT COSTS TOO MUCH TAXPAYERS MONEY TO KEEP REPUBLICANS

  • @democratsaresmart Turns out the Democrats and the Republicans are one force bought by the same lobbyists. Wall Street, war, banks, false national security, the police state, globalism, foreign spending all benefit without variation under both parties. Obama turns out has just been one big continuation of everything Bush screwed up. There is nobody you know that has benefitted from all Obama's change more than Bush's elite corporate cabal. Change would have actually meant change, not the same

  • @smokin345 Oh yeah? I haven't noticed it.

  • @thordoggie haha stop talking shit. i know you wouldn't do it and if you did, you'd get shot and bitch about that too.

  • Why does Biden always have to make such a big f__ing deal about things?

  • got his feelings hurt it seems

  • Truth is this guy's taxes are lower because Obama is president. That was funny as fuck.

  • @stereokid When people are not allowed to be pissed off about hearing the same bullshit over and over then our society is in deep trouble. It's not a bloody political statement.

  • @ChampLessFuzzy respect is EARNED not DESERVED. Joe Biden is an arrogant, condescending brat, not to mention a mental midget. i'd spit in his face if I ever met him

  • the guy should have bitch-slapped joe and thrown him out of the store to land on his ass in the gutter.

    No way would any politician talk to me that way! I pay their salary, they better kiss my ass!
