Loving the Veep
As an American, I'm proud that Barack Obama is my president. However, as a journalist and part-time comic, I am ecstatic beyond words that Joe Biden is vice-president. Thank you, Lord, oh thank you!!
Can you imagine how many international incidents he would initiate on one trip abroad had he -- as his equally gaffe-prone wife suggested this week -- been appointed secretary of state?
(As an aside, Obama will have to get a little bit of humor on these matters. But it's obvious he was trying to set an appropriate tone among White House staff on the first day. But, Joe Biden, a la Jason Sudekis -- God bless him!!! -- couldn't quite play along!)
