were captured in this video. And several of my favorite lines! One of them was "I'm not running against Hillary Clinton, I'm running to lead the free world..." and then, beyond the priceless "noun, verb and 9/11", I loved the sincere bio-line on Rudy Giuliani "probably the most under-qualified man, since George Bush, to run for the presidency..." Hahahaha! Double whammy! Joe Biden is a jewel!
