Posted by WILMINGTON, DE – Less than six months into living in the nation’s capital, Vice President Joe Biden announced Wednesday that he has been taking the train all the way from Washington to DC to Wilmington every time he has to make a bowel movement.
“I don’t know, maybe it’s because my heart and values are so firmly rooted in the middle class,” Biden told reporters at a press conference at the Wilmington Amtrak station, “But I just can’t take a dump at the Naval Observatory for the life of me.”
The Vice President tells reporters that while there have been a few close calls, his plumbing works "pretty much like clockwork."
“The plumbing’s on a pretty regular schedule around here,” Biden joked with reporters. “If I don’t go Tuesday and Friday mornings, with the occasional Sunday afternoon here or there, then I know something’s up.”
When asked why he didn’t simply find an alternative DC-area restroom, the Vice President suddenly grew defensive.
“Look everyone, where I do my business isn’t really any of your business,” he said. “From global warming to combating violence against women to confronting the challenges of the dangerous world in which we live, Joe Biden has fought every day over the course of his life in public service to improve the lives of middle class families.”
The Vice President then thanked the reporters and made his way off the platform and toward the exit.
“Now if you’ll excuse me,” Biden said, “I’ve been in Wilmington for nearly 20 minutes, and I still haven’t done my business.”
