Biden’s Response to Cheney Criticism: ‘Who Cares?’

By PETER BAKER
Published: October 23, 2009

PRAGUE — Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. had a blunt response Friday to the latest broadsides from former Vice President Dick Cheney: “Who cares?”

In the latest exchange between old and new administrations, Mr. Biden rebuffed his predecessor’s criticism about President Obama’s handling of Afghanistan as “absolutely wrong.” And Mr. Biden rejected the last review of the war conducted by the White House under former President George W.

Biden reminds me (sometimes) of Dorothy Michaels in the movie Tootsie. Remember when she went off script and the director would go madly scrolling through the teleprompter to figure out what she was saying? That's Biden. Sometimes it's good (like today!) and sometimes not so much.

9. No, Joe, never change...
"“Who cares what — ” he said, and then stopped himself to find another way to put it. (“I can see the headline now,” said the famously free-wheeling vice president. “I’m getting better, guys.”)"
