Dialing back his predecessors expansive view of the office, Vice President-elect Joe Biden plans on restoring the Office of the Vice President to its historical role as adviser to the president and tie-breaker in the Senate, an aide to Biden said Saturday.
The declaration results from an attention-getting article coming from the Las Vegas Sun, which is reporting Sunday in a story by Washington Bureau reporter Lisa Mascaro that the new Congress will reassert its constitutional independence from the White House by barring the vice president from joining in internal Senate deliberations, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said in an interview with the Sun.

I’ll believe it when Biden dismantles the Rove Weather Machine.
Oh, what a cruel statement! /s
Biden hasn’t said much since he announced that O would be tested blah, blah, blah. He’s been put away since then.
Biden playing the role of Duct Tape. PERFECT!
This story was released of course to support the bizarre liberal narrative that “Cheney is the real President”. By saying that Biden will reduce the VP’s role, they’re just reinforcing that liberal meme (and feeding the psychosis that produced it).
Yeah, it’ll be limited because Hussein won’t let him have a seat at the table.
What a maroon.
“I should’ve picked Hillary for VP. Biden was a total idiot but I couldn’t dump him because that would be a repeat of Eagleton...aha this is what I’ll do...”
BIDEN got his job because he shutup Larry Sinclair at a critical time!
"Joe Biden is a modest man. Of course, there is much to be modest about."
Best,
Chris
Enjoy all those foreign funerals, Joe.
Hopefully, BIDEN will allow his spokesman, Johm Deletorio, do his speaking for him. But, alot of you are wrong, by the end of next week, you are going to realize that JOE BIDEN would/will be a Fantastically Wonderful President in comparison to ZERO HUSSEIN!
It was Clinton, with his selection of Gore, that elevated the VP from a joke to an important position.
Doesn’t the socially acceptible version have to do with a “warm bucket of spit”. LOL
Advice to Joe Biden: You're in charge of this.
Mr. Gore Plausible Deniablitity Iced Tea Maker.

Joe Biden is all that stands between Nancy Pelosi and the Presidency. I pray for his continued health.
If he did not stay in the corner his son would not have a chance for his senate seat. I think the family told old dad to sit down and shut up. He will be the laziest VP we have ever had, not seen or heard. He even remarked to Gov Palin that even though he was elected she still gets more press. He asked her to walk him out just so the press would talk to him, however, poor Joe walked out alone.
Perhaps Biden should go back to his day job, shopping at Home Depot and eating at Katie’s Restaurant
Oh, now that was a good one. Think it might take him awhile to find Katies. Wonder if he can say welcome to Walmart!
Now, I don't care who you are, that there is funny.
Put old Joe in a closet somewhere and give him a supply of Johnny Walker Black and he is a happy man.
