Joe Biden should get his Vision checked.
The gaffe-prone vice president reversed the words of Mayor de Blasio's signature "Vision Zero" traffic-safety plan, before catching the mistake and correcting himself during a press conference at Vaughn College in Queens on Monday about improving the region's airports.
Biden was mentioning a $130 million federal grant to projects such as the proposed Moynihan train station in Manhattan when he veered off to praise "the mayor's zero vision, uh, Vision Zero plan to limit traffic accidents."
Biden has a reputation for putting his foot in his mouth.
During a visit to Philadelphia in February, he compared La Guardia Airport to airfields in Third World countries.
"If I blindfolded you and took you to La Guardia Airport in New York, you must think, 'I must be in some Third World country.' I'm not joking," he said back then.
On Monday, Biden quipped in Queens that his next landing at the airport was fretful.
"After I made that comment, about three weeks later, Air Force Two was landing at La Guardia and so my pilots all said, 'Oh, Lord, here we go. Do we need to put any Marines on board?' " Biden recalled.
Gov. Cuomo, who joined Biden at the event, couldn't resist returning to Biden's comment, asking audience members in his Power Point presentation to identify who uttered the La Guardia quip from a list that included Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Jay Leno and Donald Trump.
"The answer is D, none of the above," said Cuomo, adding that the culprit was Biden. "And he was right," Cuomo said.
During the event, Cuomo unveiled a plan to redesign both La Guardia and Kennedy airports, with new restaurants and shops in the terminals, more hotels, and access via high-speed ferries and improved rail service.
