Update to this post.

Via Roll Call:

If you were relying on the White House transcript of Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s visit to Harvard, you would have missed the best quote.

Biden’s joke to a student body vice president about the No. 2 job being “a bitch?” It took place during a question-and-answer session following the speech at the John F. Kennedy Forum at the Harvard Institute of Politics that followed the remarks, which ended at 7:20 p.m.

The official transcript of the Thursday evening event ends, “God bless you all and may God protect our troops. Thank you.”

Biden, being the vice president and not the president, doesn’t always have his remarks transcribed. And even when he does, the Q&A’s that follow frequently are exluded.
