I love this Biden story. Add yours in the comments.
Time for my Joe Biden story.
When the bill to repeal bankruptcy protections was first introduced, I was pretty steamed. I was not following politics much at that time, and I thought “We’ve got two Democratic senators – I’ll call them and find out how we can kill this thing!”
When I looked up the bill and found Biden was a co-sponsor – that was the beginning of my political education.
I resolved that if I ever ran into Biden, I would unload my own personal shitstorm on him about the bankruptcy bill.
And then… I did run into him. In the old Brookstone store at the Christiana mall. On Christmas Eve. We were two guys both doing our last-minute Christmas shopping for our families.
He was leaning against the counter waiting to pay. I circled the store a few times, trying to think of how to frame my rant.
Then I strode right up to him, and said:
“Merry Christmas, Senator Biden.”
