VP Joe Biden Bows To Jon Stewart On Daily Show, Riffs on Senate Democrats

Vice President Joe Biden poked fun at his boss and the media on The Daily Show last night, coming onto the set by bowing to host Jon Stewart.

Biden was in good spirits for the interview, http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/11/tuesday-joe-biden-to-be-first-sitting-vp-to-appear-on-daily-show.php">his sixth appearance on the show but the first time a sitting vice president has been on.

The vice president joked about Amtrak and explained the discrepancies with the stimulus money (more on that in a later post), but the closing segment was the most interesting, when Stewart asked, "How much of the majority do the Democrats need to pass something?"

Biden praised the diversity of his party, which has moderates, liberals and conservatives, along with one socialist (Sen. Bernie Sanders).

"The truth of it is, and this is neither good nor bad ... the Republican party has nothing but hard core conservatives, there's no moderates left," Biden said.

3. Bernie Sanders caucuses with the Senate Democrats

but from what I've heard during the weekly Brunch With Bernie sessions on Thom Hartmann, no way does he consider himself a Democrat.

4. How dare he bow to a Jew!

Biden is obviously a slave to Israel.
