Joe Biden At The Radio & Television Dinner: As Entertaining As You’d Hope

Who told Joe Biden he’d be performing at the Chucklehut tonight? It’s been awhile since the VP notorious for misspeaks and off-color jokes was allowed to go off-book, and tonight he got a whole 13 minutes on stage at the annual Radio & Television Correspondent’s Dinner to hang himself by. And boy did he use every second of it. Cue the music!

Highlights include calling Scott Brown “the sexiest man in Senate,” calling on the Fox News’ patron saint of “making stuff up,” and making light of IEDs in the Middle East. It’s like watching Michael Scott on a very special edition of The Office. We wish they’d give Joe Biden 15 minutes of air-time every week to do this shtick: At the very least, it’s more entertaining than most of the nightly news.
