Did You Know...

Back in January there was a petition started on the White House website calling for Joe Biden to get his own reality show. This meets the request halfway — though I’m still a little upset they didn’t call it “Here Comes Funny Boo Boo”:

The White House on Thursday introduced a new online audio series featuring Vice President Biden, the latest in a series of moves elevating the vice president’s public role within the Obama administration.

“In this audio series Vice President Biden will tell the story behind a photo – of where he was, why it matters to him, and how the experience fits into the broader narrative of this Administration,” the website explains. “From meetings at the White House to travels around the country, the Vice President will share his perspective in candid, behind-the-scenes snapshots. In other words, he’ll explain what it’s like ‘Being Biden.’”

The first episode of Being Biden is here. Garden variety mockery here.

If they’re taking requests, how about a subsequent installment that shows a picture of the White House while Biden describes what you’d see on the tour if the Obama administration Secret Service somebody didn’t decide to cancel the tours and blame the sequester. Oh, and they’ve got to do an episode with Joe explaining the story behind this picture.

Here’s Biden introducing the series:
