Biden talks shirtless Onion parody, favorite wheels Joe Biden is a serious fan of cars, so much so that a now-famous Onion parody showing a shirtless version of the vice president washing a 1981 Pontiac Trans Am in the White House driveway may not have been that far off the mark. “I have been in my bathing suit in my driveway and not only washed my Goodwood-green 1967 Corvette but also simonized it,” Biden told Car and Driver Magazine in an interview out Tuesday. “At least the Onion should have had me washing a Trans Am convertible. I love convertibles.” Biden, who’s father was longtime car dealer, also reminisced about favorite sets of wheels from his youth. “I bought a ’51 Studebaker. My dad thought it was nice and calm, but it had that overdrive, and it was fast. Then I bought a 1952 Plymouth convertible, candy-apple red with a split windshield. I think that was my favorite," he said. "I had a ’56 Chevy, then in college I bought a 100,000-mile Mercedes 190SL with those Solex carburetors that never functioned. And I still have my 1967 Goodwood-green Corvette, 327, 350-horse, with a rear-axle ratio that really gets up and goes,” Biden continued. Meanwhile, President Obama’s No. 2 lamented that now he’s “not allowed to drive anything” due to security concerns. Still, there appears to be at least one new car that has really gotten Biden’s heart racing: “My brother has one of those 556-hp [CTS-V] Cadillacs with a manual. He brought it down for me to eat my heart out. So I got in. I have a driveway that’s about 1700 feet long. I knew the Secret Service wouldn’t let me drive it outside. So I jumped on that sucker and laid rubber. A great feeling. That thing could probably beat my Corvette.” |

I actually like him a bit more now...
me too, see he is just like us. but please keep those pictures of the carwashing in his bathing suit to himself
I've always liked Joe. Unfortunately he seems to be his own worse enemy. Like many of us he doesn't edit what comes out of his mouth. Too bad we could really use someone that says it like it is.
I love Joe he genuinely seems like the kind of guy you could sit down and have a couple of pops and shoot the S**t with.A real all American guy!!
Yum I bet he is hot without a shirt on!! Very sexy for an older guy! Why dont you see presidents and polititcians with their shirts off more often. Theres nothing shameful or imoral about the male body. Hell they could all fund thier campaigns by posing in playboy/girl. I bet hey would pay dearly to get them to pose centerfold. It isnt like they would be in penthouse or hustler..... only the respectable rags!!
Yum I bet he is hot without a shirt on!! Very hot man for an older guy! Why dont you see presidents and polititcians with their shirts off more often? Theres nothing shameful or imoral about the male body. You know they could all fund their campaigns by posing in playboy/girl. I bet the publications would pay dearly to get any of them to pose centerfold. It isnt like they would be in penthouse or hustler..... only the respectable rags!! And you gotta be 18 to buy them so theres really no problem with them posing. Bearing their unclothed bodies is a lot more moral or aceptable than listening to their own personal views on religion and other views that do not pertain to politics!
Sure, why not, they require us, even children, to be photographed nude at the air port. If it is good enough for us why not the elected.
That's just one of many hilarious Biden articles on The Onion. My favorite was "Biden to Cool His Heels in Mexico for a While":

"I need to get out of D.C. until some sh1t blows over." LMAO.
Obama is the shepherd I did not want.
He leadeth me beside the still factories.
He restoreth my faith in the Republican party.
He guideth me in the path of unemployment for his
party's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the bread
line, I shall fear no hunger, for his bailouts are with
me. He has anointed my income with taxes,
My expenses runneth over.
Surely, poverty and hard living will follow me all
the days of my life, And I will live in a mortgaged
home forever.
Uhhhh
*looks at the article, then at the post*
nope, not a single fu♀▼k was given that day.
This is the stupidest thing I have ever read....... go play at faux news you hack....
may those who try to destory the good work that President obama guaranteed note that by not working with him
american will stay on the defibrilator
being humiliated and put to shame
may those who take delight in the american peoples trouble
be turn back in disgrace.
this abusive behvior that the Republicans/teaparty has guaranteed
is not a behavior permitted by the word of G-D
their posted policles of no has not achieve a quailty of life for the america they say they love
lets all get togather and vote 4 more years for president obama .
keep smoking that dope you dope

so many familes suffer than and suffer now
welcome to our pain
Hey Pete be nice to have you on the president obama side

father G-D can you forgive pete can you help pete in jesus
name amen
A prayer that should be said by every american before they go to sheep
sone this nightmare idiot will be gone 2012 God Bless America
the lying ,shucking and jiving Obama is out in 2012
The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting an inexperienced man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president."
Pete, Pete, Pete. Haven't you read Matt. 5:22? Jesus pretty much punks anyone who calls someone else a "fool."
I assume you claim to be a Christian, but maybe your pseudo-biblical language was suppose to be a parody. Not sure. What I am sure is that the article was about Biden. If you ARE a Christian, best pray God do something with your anger issues. If you are NOT a Christian, maybe some Valium would help.
Uh, Pete – what you said, except that to not have voted Obama would have implied a citizenry capable of entrusting a bipolar curmudgeon and a clueless airhead with the White House. At that point, we wouldn't even be discussing "restoring" the necessary common sense and good judgment – we'd have to discuss creating it in those witless masses that apparently you, sir, are a part of .
Oh, and one more thing, Pete. Go look up the flawed debating tactic called the "straw man". You appear to specialize in these. Your solemn pronouncements have a key logical flaw – they're based on utter garbage. Just because you've swallowed all those claims of the "follies of an Obama presidency" of whatever right-wing echo-chamber you've sworn allegiance to, doesn't mean that the average sane American shares your assessment. If you do insist on ranting in this fashion, do take the trouble to actually make your case, instead of assuming it's patently evident, as you have.
Obama is in GE's pocket
the man is a total scam
He would sell his dead mother to get reekected
you liberals only want to ride the big goverement gravy train
