Vice President Joe Biden chimed in today after two Republican senators balked at the idea of having votes on the START treaty and other legislation either right before or after Christmas.

"Don't tell me about Christmas. I understand Christmas," Biden said in an interview today with Andrea Mitchell. "There's 10 days between now and Christmas. I hope I don't get in the way of your Christmas shopping, but this is the nation's business. National security's at stake. Act."

1. BRAVO, Joe!

'I hope I don't get in the way of your Christmas shopping!'

2. Tweety just was dissing Kyl and others who are whining about going home for

their Christmas break. I hope he plays this clip. You can tell how the priorities differ -- take care of the country's business, or take some time off.

Nice of Kyl to bring in the Christian aspect, too. They love trotting our their Devout Christian Beliefs when it serves them.

3. I don't care for him much but...

That was perfect, and perfectly delivered.
