Biden calls bridge inspector's wife

NEW YORK, - A chief inspector for New York's Brooklyn Bridge renovation project said he talked U.S. Vice President Joe Biden into calling his wife, shocking her.

Tom Shepherd, 44, a city Department of Transportation Inspector working on the bridge project, said he told his wife, Betty, he might be meeting Wednesday with Biden, so he promised to "tell Joe you said hello," the New York Post reported Thursday.

Shepherd said he mentioned the conversation when he met with the vice president later in the day and Biden immediately suggested he call Betty on his cellphone.

"I'm Vice President Joe Biden. I'm here to make sure your husband isn't messing up the bridge," Biden told Shepherd's surprised wife.

"I was shocked. If he didn't have such a distinctive voice, I would have thought Tom was messing with me," Betty Shepherd said.

Even though it is Biden, it was probably kinda cool to mess with the Mrs........

“I’m Vice President Joe Biden. I’m here to make sure your husband isn’t messing up the bridge”

__________________________________________

Actually, this is rather lucid and uninsane. For Biden - that is.

Biden’s a kook, but at least he’s an American kook.

And certainly preferable to the current occupant of the White House.

At least it wasn’t Slick Willy calling his old lady.

In a saner time, he'd have topped out as Deleware's version of Emperor Norton I.

I though this was going to list ‘Joe Biden’s Pick Up Lines’ much in the same way Al Gore’s were revealed in another thread earlier today.

I do admire Biden's personality.

If he wasn't such a horrible liberal, he'd almost be a cool and fun person to hang out with.

If I were a woman and married to that bridge inspector, my response would have been...

“I’ll make sure he does just as good a job with the bridge as you and Zero have done with the country. (might not want to drive on that bridge)”
