Joe Biden . . . a legend in his own mind.
Via Washington Examiner:
Based on the pool report, Vice President Joe Biden put together a Greatest Hits collection at the fundraiser he just attended for Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J. The medium-dollar event ($1,000 and $5,000 for VIPs) took place in Morris Township at the home of attorney Philip Sellinger (of Greenberg Traurig, where Jack Abramoff once worked) and his wife Barbara.
A few gems:
On Republicans: “I don’t get a sense listening to the rhetoric the other team is using that they literally understand”
More: “I mean, it’s just absolutely staggering the things they say. Between Gingrich and Romney and Santorum, I think if I told you — if I just listed the things, the outrageous things — well, from my perspective, outrageous things — they’ve said, I think you would have thought I’m making it up.”
“I give you my word as a Biden I’m more optimistic about the United States chances in the world today than when I got elected 40 years ago as a 29-year-old kid.”
