Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., who also spoke, echoed their sentiments. He acknowledged Mr. Bush as “the man responsible for bringing our country together at a time when it could have been torn apart, for making it clear that America could not be brought to her knees.” He said that Mr. Bush’s leadership “helped us find our way, and for that you deserve our gratitude for a long, long time.”

sonofabitch bastard

wtf. i forgot he even existed and he had to remind me he did with that?

you didn't see Our President standing at the WTC with Bush on Sunday, 4 inches of daylight between them (literalizing their political relationship)?

Joe Biden makes like Peter Sellers.

Vice President Joe Biden used an accent to imitate call service employees during a speech on Thursday.

"How many times you get the call, 'I like to talk to you about your credit card?'" Biden said during an outsourcing speech in New Hampshire, employing the accent while imitating what he referred to as employees of "call centers rushed overseas."

"Or that ad on TV, what is it? 'Nancy, this is Nancy, can I talk to a supervisor?'" Biden said, referring to a Discover ad campaign featuring a heavily-accented man who acts as a credit card company's customer service representative under the name "Peggy."

This isn't Biden's first accent gaffe. As a Delaware senator in 2006, Biden said "you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent," sparking criticism among his peers in Washington.

was anyone else surprised that Justice Stevens didn't hand Biden his robe and say "I quit" the second the VP oath was done?

Before his death, Osama bin Laden boldly commanded his network to organize special cells in Afghanistan and Pakistan to attack the aircraft of President Obama and Gen. David H. Petraeus.

“The reason for concentrating on them,” the al-Qaeda leader explained to his top lieutenant, “is that Obama is the head of infidelity and killing him automatically will make [Vice President] Biden take over the presidency. . . . Biden is totally unprepared for that post, which will lead the U.S. into a crisis. As for Petraeus, he is the man of the hour . . . and killing him would alter the war’s path” in Afghanistan.

pfft, whatever Osama. You thought the towers were going to topple over too, like dominoes.

I like to think of Biden as the Chewie of the Obama administration.

reading through Richard Ben Cramer's endless What It Takes, I think the best parts are of Joe, in the middle of a desultory prez campaign in '87, suddenly remembers he's head of the Judiciary Committee and starts to pore through constitutional law for the sake of parrying Borkborkbork.

The circle is complete

Looming over it all is the question of whether Biden will run in 2016. “He’s in a predicament. It’s so big, it’s almost literary,” a member of Obama’s inner circle told me, shortly after a Washington Post/ABC poll showed Clinton leading Biden by an epic 73 to 12 percent, the widest margin ever recorded for a presidential frontrunner. “Never in his entire life has this man been better positioned to get the thing he most wants: the presidency. He’s climbed almost all the way to the top. And guess what? Somebody moved the ladder. How would you deal with that?”

what did americans think about that new yorker article about him

It went at great lengths to prove he was a Serious Man.

Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. found himself presiding alone over the Old Senate Chamber, jovially posing for photos alongside the recently elected senators and their families with the panache of a game-show host.

He came ready with quips for every grandchild (“This is boring, boring, boring!” he said to one toddler on the verge of tears) and for each of his colleagues.

To Senator Thad Cochran, Republican of Mississippi: “Thaddeus — the best guy in the United States Senate!”

And to Senator Richard J. Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, who thanked him for swearing in all the senators: “Easy to swear at you!”

At one point, the vice president grew so excited that a small white mint flew from his mouth and onto the deep red carpet.

Mr. Biden was at his most sincere and enthusiastic with the women at hand — the granddaughters and daughters and mothers and wives and sisters (“Sis!”). He caressed their cheeks with both hands; wrapped them in bear hugs, with a firm hand on their backs; kissed them dangerously close to the lips; and nuzzled their faces.

"Most sincere and enthusiastic" huh?

So he's acting silly with a baby. So what?

Beau Biden dead of brain cancer.

Mr. Biden is not ready to talk about the future and did not respond to a request for an interview. But he is seen in a different light for the moment. Wherever he goes these days, he receives condolences. Indeed, Mr. Biden’s grief has been so public, so human, in a way not seen in a sitting president or vice president in many years, that it has struck a nerve in Washington and beyond.

Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a Republican presidential candidate, choked up while talking to a video crew from the Huffington Post about Mr. Biden. “I called him after Beau died, and he basically said, ‘Well, Beau was my soul,’ ” Mr. Graham said with tears in his eyes.

When Mr. Graham retired from the Air Force Reserve, he noted, Mr. Biden made a point of attending the ceremony. “He’s the nicest person I think I’ve ever met in politics,” Mr. Graham said. “He is as good a man as God ever created. And we don’t agree on much, but I think he’s been dealt a really gut blow.”
