Dear "news" people telling us what a loose cannon, funny guy, whatever, Joe Biden is . . . . . [View all]

. . . . blow it out your ass.

Joe Biden was among the poorest Senators when he was in the Senate. Joe Biden rubbed actual elbows with actual people on an actual train open to actual passengers every day he was in the Senate. Joe's permanent home is in an unremarkable upper middle class neighborhood in Delaware.

Joe is an ordinary guy who approaches people warmly and is, himself, approachable.

Unlike you media types.

Yeah . . . . blow it out your ass.
