The VP Rocks Out with His Cock Out. Or One More Example of Why America Is Better under the Obama Administration

Taking advantage of the warm spring weather Monday, Vice President Joe Biden parked his 1981 Trans Am in the White House driveway, removed his undershirt, and spent a leisurely afternoon washing the muscle car and drinking beer.…

White House aides said that Biden pulled into the driveway shortly before noon, the chorus of Night Ranger's “(You Can Still) Rock In America” blaring from his car's stereo. According to witnesses, Biden spent several minutes maneuvering the Trans Am into the perfect spot, and was observed drumming his fingers on the steering wheel until the song came to a close.

The shirtless 66-year-old then entered the executive residence and greeted employees with a round of high fives and a variety of nicknames.

“Hey, hot stuff, looking good,” Biden told a passing aide. “Would you know where I could get a little bucket and sponge action? My mean machine needs to be cleaned.” …

Biden, who purchased the white Pontiac in 1983, has made an annual tradition of taking time off each spring to wash and tune-up his vehicle. In 2008 alone, the veteran politician reportedly missed two dozen Senate sessions in order to spend some quality time “taking care of [his] baby.”

“He does this every year and it really seems to rejuvenate him,” Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-CT) said. “Back in 2001, the car was up on blocks in the National Mall, and he was so busy rotating those tires that he bailed on the confirmation hearings for secretary of state.”

“What're you gonna do, though?” Dodd added. “That car rocks.”


I was going to offer something as a rebuttal here, but it's really hard to come back against that. That car does rock.

Speaking of rocking, is it me, or does “My mean machine needs to be cleaned” not have great potential as a pick-up line. Seriously, under the right circumstances, I think it could yield greater rewards than “Well? It ain't gonna' suck itself.”

“Exactly, what circumstances would be right?” you ask. To that I can only reply “If I knew that, do you really think I'd be blogging right now?”

Smart ass.
