Vice President Joe Biden jokingly described his job as a “bitch” during an event on Thursday at the Harvard Institute of Politics, according to The Washington Post.

“Isn’t it a bitch, I mean … that vice president thing?” Biden said, drawing laughter from the crowd. “I’m joking. I’m joking. I’m joking. The best decision I ever made.”

Biden is known for often making verbal gaffes, perhaps his most famous coming when he was caught on an open mic telling President Obama that passage of the Affordable Care Act was a “big fucking deal.” Biden later said he was “embarrassed as hell” about it.
