Hopefully he stays hidden for 4 years, and keeps his hands away from the controls.

It was actually a somewhat serious question, Lunar.

Has he done national interviews?  Has he visisted the VP residence where he'll live?  Has he commented on much of anything since last week?

I know they hid him during the last week(s) of the campaign, but why now?

It sure seems like it.  I am endlessly entertained by that man; although I was (initially) disappointed in his selection, I knew that it would mean the continued survival of political comedy in a post-Bush world.

Cheney is still in hiding too. It would be hard to arrange a meet!

Please don't bother Cheney, Andrew, he's busy running the country.  Wink

He was at the Eagles game. He's as popular as Santa Claus in Philadelphia.

All Vice presidents seem to go into a black hole once elected.

Maybe he will take after Cheney ...?

Joe is being sequestered as his latest round of plugs heal.  He is looking more and more like Jack Nicholson as the Joker in Batman lately, maybe he had another facelift too.  He actually looks like my Chinese neighbor these days with those eyes.  Or perhaps he got new teeth implants to replace those Chicklets he calls teeth.

He'll re-emerge in six months just in time for that international crisis he's been promising.

Gore didn't go into a black hole, he just fell into the lockbox.

Were Vice President-elects Al Gore, Dan Quayle, George Bush, Walter Mondale, Spiro Agnew, etc. doing anything more notable than Biden at this point during their respective transition periods?

What this question actually illustrates is how much Sarah Palin took the spotlight from John McCain.

Thankfully the Democrats learned their lesson in 1988.

Excellent question and perhaps a great point.

I think it's noticeable to many because I really don't hear anyone disagreeing with the fact he was hidden in the last couple weeks of the campaign and perhaps that is what is more notable.

Thanks!

I'll disagree.  Biden appeared at rallies every day during the last week of the campaign and 3/4 of the days during the two weeks before that.

Uh, actually Lunar, yes.  He's meeting with Cheney on Thursday.  Did you think the VP job requires no transition or meetings?  Roll Eyes

Ah, right.

In that, case, Philadelphia loves Joe Biden even more than Santa Claus!
