And that was a quote…If I may say, sir, Ride to Recovery is a big f-ing deal.” (And yes, he did use the actual word.)

“I just want you to know, I didn’t intentionally say that,” Biden continued. “I actually turned and I said, ‘Mr. President,’ and I whispered in his ear. Unfortunately, I was looking in the direction of one guy who could actually read lips – not a joke. Because no one picked it up at the time and one of the reporters read lips. Thank God my mother was gone or I’d have been one dead vice president.”
