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..."

If Biden were a Republican this would be a leading story.

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

80% of Boston voted for Obama. Chances are pretty good the family did too. God bless them.

“Bless their hearts” is how we say it in Texas.

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

Not soon enough, and I fear not soon enough to save what's left of America.

“Plugs is a drunk..
Ya’ mean he could actually sober up?”
Wouldn’t make a bit o’difference, laweeks. He’d still be an idiot.

“all kidding aside”

Why would he be “kidding” at all at a heroe’s funeral? Bite-Me isn’t worthy to stand on the same ground as this officer who died in the line of duty, much less speak about him. He is a despicable, lying sack.
