Joe Biden Laughs Uncontrollably Over SNL Veep Debate Skit

[struggle4progress]

... Sawyer, who got the giggles over watching Biden's laugh attack, asked if that was the first time Biden had seen the SNL video. "I have watched it," Biden said, laughing, "but every time ..." he trailed off, trying, without success, to contain himself ...

We asked Biden's traveling campaign spokesman, David Wade, what in the world had come over Biden to provoke such uncontrollable laughter. Wade, ever clever, ever partisan, replied, "Joe Biden spent more time laughing than Governor Palin has answering questions. But who can blame him? That skit was the second funniest thing I have ever watched. The first was when John McCain said he's a maverick." ...

1. That's cute

A sense of humor is the most precious attribute a politician can have. You can tell that the lines on Joe's face were mostly created by smiling and laughing.

8. I was thinking he'd have to be in stitches watching it. Particularly,

"As my mother would say, "Gawd love him!
But he's a raging maniac....
.... and a dear, dear friend...".

12. He was just laughing at how ridiculous Palin came off in the skit

I think. I would have been. That skit really is one for the ages. Right up there with the Killer Bees, the Coneheads, and so many others.

13. He watched it with the sound on.
