It's easy being Vice President
Alert reader Ashley Tate wrote in with the latest Bidenism. From CNN; here's the dialog:
Biden: How you doing Eric?
Cantor: Not bad Mr. Vice President
Biden: Good, doing alright. It's easy being Vice President believe me.
Cantor: It's like being a grandparent and not the parent.
Biden: Yeah that's it.
And the video:
Excellent! Of course, he was joking, etc., etc... still, it's another classic Biden quote.
I wished I were seeing it in 3D
An alert reader wrote in with a a video that breaks a long drought. The VP has been keeping a low profile recently, sadly... but he emerged recently and was interviewed on ABC. The question of Oscar nominees came up, and Biden's response was typically concise:
Q: Any favorites among the Oscar nominees? A: Yeah, as a matter of fact, we do, um, and uh, um, and I think that the, uh, one of the odds-on favorites (Jill didn't go with me), but, is, um, is uh, this uh, this new program that I looked at it and I wished I were seeing it in 3D, and you sit there and you watch this science fiction thing unfold in front of you, Avatar...
It's hard to capture the bumbling nuances in text. If you have a spare 45 seconds, you won't regret watching the video. It took some effort to pry that movie name out of him, but, there ya go.
