I must be the first to say it:

The lights were on but nobody was home.

There. Now that that's out of the way, it's a terrible thing that someone fired shots at a sitting VP, especially this one. Had this resulted in his death, you would have seen either House Speaker Boehner, or SOS John Kerry becoming next in line for the Presidency.

OK. Somebody rebuke me. I can't stop joking.

Biden hasn’t been home for much of his life.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

No sense trying to plug him; he’s already been plugged.

What a waste of bullets. Harming mentally challenged persons is disgusting.

Alternate headline:

“Backfire within .5 miles of unoccupied house sends media into a tizzy.”

Am wondering why Buckshot Joe didn't return fire with a couple of shotgun blasts off a balcony or something. All talk, as usual.

“I said, ‘Jill, if there’s ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony here, walk out and put that double-barrel shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house,’” Biden said. 

[Boogieman]

There’s no line of succession for the VP.

If he dies, the President just gets to pick a new one.

Meh.

Staged.

Jealous of the Charlie Hebdou attention, they want to make same-same.

Bogus headline. At no point does the story identify that shots were fired “at” the home. There may have been shots in the vicinity, but there is no mention of shots being made towards the home.
