Biden doesn’t remember who he met with this morning, other than years ago. I would imagine he imagines he met with Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Greenjeans for breakfast and they talked about the show’s transition to color tv.

Biden’s tough rhetoric omitted that he had met with the Venezuelan dictator in the past.

The impromptu meeting appeared friendly, with Maduro and Biden photographed smiling and amicably shaking hands.

No doubt Biden was trying to shake him down for Hunter, but when that failed Biden got mad.

And the guy directly behind Chavez is Nicolas Maduro, the current dictator hand-picked by Chavez.
