The press is rolling like a pig in poop right now! Fiesty tell it like it is, but highly highly knowledgeable -- foreign-policy-wise -- Senator Joe Biden is Barack Obama's vice presidential running mate.
I got the text at 3:07 AM. I was staying up late to watch the General Hospital rerun. (I've been off GH since March but then saw at the grocery store magrags that Laura was coming back, so I'm back into it.)
Anyway, there I was flipping between Olympics coverage and GH reruns and = buzz -- buzz = goes my phone. A text from 622-62, the members' number for VP announcement release coverage. I was so excited I woke up Re ne, who could care less!, but I had to tell someone! Now, about Joe Biden. I said in my opening that the press was like a pig in poop because this guy is like an everlasting fountain of "You shouldn't have said that"s. Maybe that's why so many of us love him. The senator from Delaware is 1) probably the most knowledgeable American politician when it comes to foriegn policy. I mean, if he and "Sakashvili is my BFF" McCain were to go toe to toe on experience, the old "I'm not sure how many houses I own" McCain would get creamed. This man knows what he's talking about. Case in point:

2) He's hilarious.
3) His wife is a teacher.
4) He makes gaffes. He's bombastic. He's a little crazy. In this way, he's perfect for Obama, who is never gaffing, never bombastic, never out of the lines.
They're the perfect yin and yang.
In the end:
I was hoping for the long shot of Hilary, but I knew Bill was too much of a pain in the bum bum. I am so excited for this ticket. I thought Biden would be the Secretary of State under Obama, but I'm happy with the Veep.
