President’s Budget Speech Puts Joe Biden To Sleep?

· Wednesday, April 13, 2011 · 2 comments

Unfortunately, for the Vice-President, ABC News has a camera on him during the President’s budget speech:

So was Biden nodding off, or was he engaged in deep mediation about fiscal policy? You decide

But, apparently, the Vice-President didn’t think that this speech was a Big Effing Deal.

    They probably drugged him to prevent him from proclaiming another big f**king deal.

    This happens at every major speech — some big supporter of the speaker falls asleep or seems to. Cheney did it for Bush, and on and on.

    I’m beginning to think this is actually a prank politicians pull to see just how lazy bloggers are. Anyone who jumps at this story proves the point…
