I do, of course, have a story about Beau Biden....think I might have told before.
It was in 2004 or thereabouts, cause I still smoked.
I was covering the GOP table at the Delaware state fair and don’t you know along comes Beau Biden. The guy I’m volunteering with tells me who it is. Beau (this was BEFORE his strokes) heads outside right as I was doing the same, me in pursuit of a smoke.
To my surprise I find myself sharing a cigarette with who? BEAU BIDEN!
Seriously folks, this was a very funny guy. No I didn’t have a camera or recorder...I don’t think I even had a cell phone then. But Beau’s telling me funny stories about his Dad...and me without even a pen and paper.
We ended up sharing political stories and such for over an hour...hand to God.
It was neat. If I see him I’ll tell him it’s great to see him again.
Oh, and another story....I go to get a mammogram...new medical place opened up in Georgetown, of course. “It’s on Biden Way,” the lady on the phone tells me.
Serious? Biden Way?
So I got get the mammorgram and something called a bone density test. I complain to everyone in the joint about it being on Biden way...who the hell came up with that?
Because TAXPAYERS paid for that road, NOT any Biden of any stripe. This sort of thing is looked down upon of late.
ALL of those people told me how they hated that name, how they just used the name of the street behind the parking lot as they hated Biden way so much.
How about these politicos....thinking they should have streets named after THEM?
