Vice President Joe Biden made a joke today at the memorial service for slain MIT police officer Sean Collier:

"One of my favorite poets is Seamus Heaney," said Biden, who is of Irish descent. "I know the congressman thinks I always quote Irish poets because I'm Irish. That's not the reason I do it. I quote Irish poets because they're the best poets and that's the reason why," Biden deadpanned. "And the Collier family knows that, right?"

Biden continued, "But all kidding aside..."

That in and of itself means that Plugs Biden dropped a load in his pants. But judging from all the other pieces of garbage coming from this administration, absolutely nothing would surprise me.

Biden is a fool, probably mentally off his rocker, and should be a complete embarrassment to Washington, D.C.

I, for one, am totally and completely embarrassed by this administration . . . when in the hell will this be over?

Why is he speaking? I heard he was attending, but... Why would the family allow this?

I don’t get it.

I made a funny quip during my eulogy for my sister. It was true, it was funny, and it helped tell a bit about how friendly my sister was. It got a knowing laugh.

This is just an odd rambling from an odd man.

Just what is the joke?

I THINK I know the answer to my own question, but being half-Irish, I don't want to put it in writing, LOL.
