#RidinWithBiden
"Itll take you forever to get a cab around here this time of day," the vice president scoffed. Im on my way to work. Ill give you a ride, and you can get a cab from the White House."
...
Daddy and his companions climbed into the vice presidential limo with Biden and off they went, zooming down Massachusetts Avenue and turning on to Connecticut Avenue, zipping through red lights, police cars and motorcycles with lights and sirens at full blast.
Biden chatted away happily like it was no big deal, as if he were driving some friends to the store in the family sedan. Every now and then, he waved back at people on the street, but he stayed focused on the nonstop conversation in the car.
...
But this story also tells us an awful lot about Joe Biden, a man who is so quick to say, "Cmon guys. I can make it easier for you to get where youre going. Ride with me."

Don't remember if he was running for Senate, or was serving in the Senate. He was speaking to some county Democratic group in NJ.
I must have been somewhere between 19 and 23. All I could think of, at the time, was how incredibly HOT he was.
