Pete Wentz wouldn't here if not for Joe Biden

[ribrepin]

I was watching Larry King tonite and Pete Wentz told a story about his parents meeting while working on a Biden campaign and now young Pete is singing @ Biden's Vice-Presidential swearing-in.

I think it's a heart-warming story.

2. I knew he was an Obama supporter

but didn't know he had a connection to Biden. He told the story to Larry King.

Here's link to an article about his long relationship with Biden:

Pete Wentz and Joe Biden go way back.

In light of Barack Obama's victory, the Fall Out Boy rocker, 29, has posted a photo of the senator holding him when he was nearly 3 years old. Wentz's mother Dale (right) was one of Biden's legislative assistants at the time.

Wentz, an Obama supporter, said he become so active in politics "because my parents met working for Biden."

"They met on the campaign, so they have this particular affection for Joe," he told the Associated Press on Election Day. "He came to their wedding. If it weren't for Joe Biden, I would not exist as a human being."

3. So funny, my 19 year old is a big fan of his.

She really got a kick out of it when I shared this story with her.

Good to see you, ribrepin :)!
