"I think it's hilarious." That's what Vice President Joe Biden told Yahoo! News in a recent interview when asked about the fake news parodies that have created tons of online traffic for The Onion. Parodies which have included the VP getting banned for life from Dave & Busters for destroying a Whac-a-mole game, showing his tattooed arms while washing his Trans-Am on the White House driveway, showing up to President Obama's inauguration with a ponytail (see below)...

... and my personal favorite, this fake report about the Vice President taking a second job as the spokesman for Hennessy Cognac.

With a smile on his face, Biden went on to correct one thing The Onion got wrong telling the interviewer, "I saw the one of me washing a Trans-Am automobile in the driveway shirtless with tattoos all over myself and out there, by the way, I have a Corvette - a '67 Corvette, not a Trans-Am."
Sarah Palin Some thin-skinned politicians should learn from the Vice President's ability to laugh at himself... particularly when it comes to jokes as funny as these. Oh, and also able to take a joke from The Onion? The crew of NBC's TODAY Show.

I think it's not only comical but extreamly dangerous how the media can let idiots like fox news anchor Megyn Kelly slide after her comments in defence of her boss about "Nazi' statements being used on FOX NEWS...what's the.... (WTF).... How did you guy's let her escape on that? Is she so pretty that you clowns literaly looose your balls when comming up with a rebuttle to her stupid remarks. She's wrong, fox news is wrong - so why is Jon Stewert the only man alive who will call her out on that point?
I have a firm belief, and it started when I stopped watching the cartoon channel, that most Americans have not yet graduated from the "Bevis and Buttcrack" mentality. We are still amused by programs like Family Guy, the Simpsons...on and on. Some of the most stupid shows on TV, are the most popular to Americans. It's no wonder why a person like Megyn Kelly can look deep and directly into the camra and say Fox news never make any refferance to "Nazi's"...I watch it everyday says Megyn. She's not that cute guys! Wakeup to that bullcrap she pushing...turn off that cartoon channel and be a man!
Again the attacks on Joe...are "Bevis and Buttcrack" inspired type stupid stuff. The right wing idiots have nothing smart to use so they go for the dumb cartoons ...that's their generations referance point, they go to that becoz they got nothing else. The black guy (is who they really hate) is doing a good job trying to bring us out of the mess that their bevis and butthead guy (W) got us into.
By the way Biden is "COOL"...if anything happens to Obama (God forbid)...the USA will be in good hands with Joe!
