Joe Biden… sex-machine.

Via NYT:

Seeking an opening during the World Cup soccer tournament to thaw relations with Brazil, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. arrived in Latin America’s largest country on Monday, expressing a desire to “rebuild trust” after the souring of ties over revelations of the National Security Agency’s surveillance practices. […]

And for Ms. Rousseff, warming again to the United States, which is Brazil’s second-largest trading partner after China, enables her to burnish foreign policy credentials before presidential elections in October as rivals criticize her administration’s close ties with leftist governments in nations including Venezuela and Cuba.

Ms. Rousseff, a former Marxist guerrilla who has evolved into a moderate leftist, and Mr. Biden, a foreign policy authority in the Senate before becoming vice president, appear to have developed a strong rapport. At a recent dinner in Brasília with foreign correspondents, a relaxed Ms. Rousseff jokingly called Mr. Biden “very seductive.”

However, both Brasília and Washington still seem to be approaching their strained ties with caution. In an interview published on Monday by the Brazilian newspaper Folha de S. Paulo, Mr. Biden said that the invitation for Ms. Rousseff to attend a state dinner still stands, but he did not say whether the Obama administration would issue an apology for the N.S.A. spying, as Ms. Rousseff had requested.
