Vice President Joe Biden did not leak classified information when he reportedly described to dinner guests the location of a "hideaway" his predecessor, Dick Cheney, used in the days following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, an aide to Biden said Monday.
"There was no disclosure of classified information," spokeswoman Elizabeth Alexander said.
She said Biden was merely describing a guest room in the Naval Observatory, the official vice presidential residence in Washington.

Alexander on Monday described the room as a rather accessible place that is far from secret.
She said the room was not an underground facility, "rather, an upstairs workspace in the residence, which he understood was frequently used by Vice President Cheney and his aides.
"That workspace was converted into an upstairs guest room when the Bidens moved into the residence."
I don't know. I think if I were Slow Joe, I would rather be thought of as a blabbermouth than an out of touch, overly imaginative nut case. But maybe that's just me.
