'It's Easy Being Vice President — You Don't Have To Do Anything'

I've got to hand it to Slow Joe, he's pretty good at doing nothing. Being Vice President: So easy a simpleton like Joe Biden can do it!

There have been some tense moments during today's health care summit at the Blair House, but not for Vice President Joe Biden, it seems.

Just moments before the afternoon session got underway, C-SPAN's cameras picked up audio of Biden chatting casually with participants.

"It's easy being vice president — you don't have to do anything."

Whomever Biden was chatting with said, "It's like being the grandpa and not the parent."

"Yeah, that's it!" replied Biden.

Of course Biden's spokesthing, Jay Carney, then rushed to his aide by pointing out how busy he really is. Carney misses the point. His boss is a walking, talking malaprop, he's Gaffemaster Joe. Live it with. Most everyone else in the Obama administration is detestable. Biden we can at least have fun with.
