Joe Biden isn't a dumbass, he's just a very clumsy public speaker. Too many years in the Senate. He's used to speaking in front of small crowds, but not large crowds with media attention. If you've spend 1000 years talking to pancake dinners at the Knights of Columbus, you get used to speaking off the cuff.
I remember Bush kept talking about how the economy was declining just after he was elected, and it wasn't. But he made it happen by talking about it every chance he got. Someone will probably pull Biden aside and say, "Hey Joe, why don't you shut the fuck up about terrorist attacks?" and everyone will forget about it.
