Joe Biden not only brings a long resume and foreign policy gravitas to the Obama campaign, he will also help boost the humor quotient of the Democratic ticket.
Biden is known for his biting wit, and he delivered some of the best zingers during the Democratic primary debates.
In one memorable dig at Rudy Giuliani, Biden said, "There's only three things he mentions in a sentence -- a noun, a verb, and 9/11." (Watch video clip)
He also gave a hilarious answer to Brian Williams when he brought up the issue of Biden's "uncontrolled verbosity" and tendency to be a "gaffe machine." After Williams asked whether Biden would "have the discipline you would need on the world stage," Biden deadpanned a simple, one-word answer. "Yes," he said, as the audience erupted in laughter (Watch video clip)
Of course, this is also a guy who once said of Obama, "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
So it's safe to say that with Biden, we're in for a wild ride.
