The best part about this is the pretense that Biden doesn’t have time to be interviewed about a spate of hilarious Onion articles:
A spokesman for Mr. Biden, Jay Carney, said the vice president was unavailable to be interviewed about his portrayal in The Onion.
“Let me get this straight: You want to interview the vice president about stories about him in The Onion?” Mr. Carney asked, sounding at once amused and dumbfounded by the request. “Well, I’ll give you credit for trying.”
The Onion is a bug fucking deal.Report
What was the pitch for this story? “Hey, Editor! What if we do the news flow exactly backwards for once?” Or was the reporter trying to cover for reading the Onion when he was supposed to be writing?Report
