VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: And by the way, any letter you send me [asking for an earmark] I’ll entertain.
Here is one my favorite parts of last night’s debate:
MS. RADDATZ: You did ask for stimulus money, correct?
VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: Sure he did. By the way — (inaudible) —
REP. RYAN: On two occasions, we — we — we advocated for constituents who were applying for grants.
VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: (Chuckles.)
REP. RYAN: That’s what we do. We do that for all constituents who are — (inaudible) — for grants.
VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: I love that. I love that. This is such a bad program, and he writes me a letter saying — writes the Department of Energy a letter saying, the reason we need this stimulus — it will create growth and jobs. He — his words. And now he’s sitting here looking at me — and by the way, that program — again, investigated — what the Congress said was, it was a model: less than four-tenths of 1 percent waste or fraud in the program. And all this talk about cronyism — they investigated, investigated; did not find one single piece of evidence. I wish he would just tell — be a little more candid…
…VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: And by the way, any letter you send me I’ll entertain.
REP. RYAN: I appreciate that, Joe. (Laughter.)
At least Biden didn’t tell him to go home and get his f*cking shine box.
