Vice President of the United States has to be one of the coolest jobs that it’s possible to have.
Most of the prestige, none of the stress. Pretty decent paycheck, and the US Naval Observatory is some pretty nice digs. You can stay up late with the squids and look at the stars. Or screw around with the official national time measurement and make everybody in the United States late for work the next morning. You can drive around Adams Morgan or Georgetown and heckle people out the window of the limousine, and have the Secret Service tackle anyone that says ‘boo’ about it. You can go to the most exclusive place in the city and order in a language that you just made up, play with your food, and somebody else gets to pay for it all. You could TP the White House. Hell, you could stroll down Pennsylvania Avenue naked, if you wanted to.
Why?
Because a Vice President like Biden is the Invisible Man. He’s not even a sideshow. He’s the comical sidekick. He doesn’t matter at all, unless something bad happens, then he goes to the head of the class.
And then, we’re in real trouble.
Biden has to be having the time of his life. I can’t imagine that he’d want to screw it up by becoming president.
I see he married his equal.
