Dave Weigel picks up this nugget from an interview Vice President Biden gave to a forum hosted by the Atlantic Magazine in DC:
David Gregory asked Joe Biden question that got the crowd tittering: “Do you stand in solidarity” with the Occupy Wall Street protests?
“Look,” said Biden, talking over the “ooohs” and murmurs, “that’s a really fair question. Let’s be honest with one another. What is the core of that protest? The core is: The bargain has been breached. The core is, the American people do not think the system is fair, or on the level. That is the core is what you’re seeing with Wall Street. Look, there’s a lot in common with the Tea Party. The Tea Party started, why? TARP. They thought it was unfair.”
