Not everyone wants a kiss from uncle Biden.

Vice President Joe Biden has been known to charm the families of senators at swearing-in ceremonies, as he did in 2012:

  1. LOL…someone clearly doesn’t remember what it’s like to have a tweenaged daughter…

    Cringeworthy indeed.

  2. Maybe if Biden sparkled?

  3. Where is the video clip of Boehner NOT shaking hands with Daniel Webster after the photo op ?

    Webster challenged him for the Speaker job.

    Why single out this ??? All kinds of things happened in the Congress today.

    Joni Ernst raised her left hand instead of the right when sworn in. Lindsey Graham gifted her with a Pig castration device. Where is the video of that ?

  4. Eww! He smells like cloture.

  5. It’s clear this girl’s parents have told her to not let strangers do what they want to her. To her Joe Biden rates somewhere above a stranger but still I’m glad to see her rejecting his attention.
