Joe Biden’s Diner Shtick Doesn’t Work in Singapore
National Journal ^ | July 26, 2013 | by Matt Masilogambos

It's a common sight when Joe Biden walks into a restaurant: big, glowing white teeth smiling, a squint in his eyes, aviators off, and cheese-ball antics in full force. The vice president loves this kind of thing, but it doesn't always work.

Take Thursday afternoon, when Biden, traveling overseas in Singapore, stopped at a local food stall known for its prawn noodle soup and fried rice. Veep did his normal routine, greeting the owners and onlookers.

Then Biden sat next to one diner so the two could take a photo. The problem: The man didn't know who Biden was.

"Who is he?" the man asked, according to pool reports.

Biden then bought two cups of fresh lime juice, talked a little more to the owners and went on his way.

Before editing: “Who was that hairplugged American douchebag?” the man asked, according to pool reports. “He came close to spitting some of those Chiclets.”

Half the people in this country don't know who he is. ;-)

Half the time HE doesn't know who or where he is.

Only thing keeping that guy from pounding Biden is the secret service.

Ed: You want to take a dinghy?
Frank DreBiden: No thanks. I took care of that before the press conference.

Singapore has very sophisticated foodies running those little joints. The guy probably DID recognize Biden but wanted to insult him. Good go, fellah!

I wish Joe’d have popped in a stick of DoubleMint and gotten himself caned.

There are more people in Singapore that know me than Biden.

LOL!

Some years ago (probably 1998 or thereabouts), in a previous life, I found myself walking FRom the Capital building to the Senate side of the Hill beside Joe (”Plugs”) Biden. Along the way, we chatted about inconsequential things — I have never known him to chat about consequential things.

Now, I knew very well who he was, but as we split up to go our separate ways, I feigned not knowing who he was, and said:

“I’m terribly sorry, I know you are a Senator, but I am just not able to come up with your name.”

He said, very belligerently, I must add, “I AM JOE BIDEN!”

Made my day!

...the "Take it all b*tch" line goes a number of ways....

I love the look on this lackey, with his "I GOT the boss" look on his little mug...
