Why I love Joe Biden.
He opens his mouth and something embarrassing comes out. Sometimes even the truth comes out.
He can’t keep his mouth shut, won’t control what he says and is like the lovable old uncle you had who kept the family in stitches with his crazy talk and unbelievably conflicting spun tales.
He’s the same crazy uncle who got hit in the head as a young man and never quite recovered and shouldn’t be left alone in the same room with sharp instruments or small animals.
When your mother would walk into thanks giving dinner and say “What happened to the pie?,” uncle Joe was the joker who said the guinea pig got to it first and he had to finish it.
He’s the old uncle who passed you beer at your 14th birthday party and told you stories about your mother in her younger days.
Can you imagine uncle Joe as vice president?
