Joe Biden may be young by Washington standards, but he’s packed a lot into 81 short years. He’s fought hard for working Americans, be they on the factory line or on the board of Blackstone Group

That one was gold!

The only time this philly guy has been jealous of NYC. I'd set Gritty up with my sister if we could have a mayor like him.

Your sister is from Philly too, she's totally into Gritty

It helps that cuomo is an embarrassment

I've started calling him "that son-of-a-bridge". Works for RFK Jr, too.
