NEWINGTON — When Talia Maselli envisioned her perfect prom date, one man immediately sprang to mind: Vice President Joe Biden.

"Joe Biden makes me laugh," Maselli said. "He just cracks me up."

So she mailed Biden a handwritten note last fall asking him to escort her to the Newington High School prom.

[Biggirl]

Wow, VP Biden has a fan!

[x1stcav]

This is a very disturbed young lady.

I hope they can arrange professional help for her.

He cracks up all of us, Talia. But not in a good way. He is a nitwit and we enjoy mocking him.

What would be the least bit acceptable about a teen inviting someone else’s spouse to be his or her ‘prom date’?

[Biggirl]

Let her have her fun. At least he is doing something harmless.

“Wow, VP Biden has a fan! “

We need a pic of this young lady for sure!

[Politicalkiddo]

She’s rather homely looking, isn’t she?

[justlurking]

This is a very disturbed young lady.

Lighten up. It was a joke among her friends.

Maselli said the invitation to Biden began as a joke between her and her friends and she thought it would get lost in all the other mail he gets.

Stand up young lady!

Stand up!

[Ray76]

Freaks.

Both of them are weirdos.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Now isn’t that so cute

And newsworthy

[who knows what evil?]

This is a very disturbed young lady.

It's Connecticut.

[sten]

yea, sure... this is accurate

some teenage girl looks at Biden and has romantic thoughts? really??

I’d bet money she was abused by an elderly man

[ExCTCitizen]

Even a Republican town will have some crackpots. Newington, CT is a nice town, but there are crackpots like in every town.

[trisham]

It’s terrifying. I try not to think about it.

He had a serious brain injury in the past, and often seems a bit loopy. Imho, in the past that would have denied him office.
