sorry, I don't know how to paste a pic.

Vice President Joe Biden got caught in a stunning photo with a female biker sitting on his lap.

The Associated Press snapped the shot at Cruisers Diner in Seaman, Ohio on Sunday.

A White House pool report says the bikers may be part of a group called the "Shaddowmen." No details were available on their real names or what discussion led to the lap incident.

Some observers were quick to joke that Biden is starting to resemble the working-class parody Biden seen in The Onion.

1. They are close, but HE is on the booth behind and she is in a chair. FACTS people.

It does look bad. Sigh. But she ISN'T on his lap.

[Tx4obama]

13. Yes, you can tell by the photo that she is sitting on her own chair. Thanks for posting photo. n/t

[luvspeas]

19. I don't understand this photo at all...

You can see a hand behind Biden, so there is another person (a blond woman) sitting next to him. Also, in the foreground, there is the back of a chair and the woman sitting on the chair in front of Biden has her arm on that same table. The photo looks super distorted to make them look right on top of one another.

[Tx4obama]

21. Yes, it appears there's another woman sitting in the corner of the booth w/ her arm outstretched n/t

[seabeyond]

25. i thought it looked like a mans hand and the blonde hair from the biker woman. i think it is

another man sittin back there and it is a tight fit for everyone.

but ya, i noticed that too

[seabeyond]

20. what i noticed. not sitting on lap. nt

[Heather MC]

35. Is there a Video of this? The Photo is confusing

[cynatnite]

2. I saw a site turning it into something salacious. He's just in the booth and she is on a chair. n/t

[Voice for Peace]

8. it's a bit nuzzly which might be ok except look at the dudes in the picture

they don't look like they are fans

[cynatnite]

10. Photos are a snap of less than a second...timing is everything...

that's why I never read that much into these things. It's easy to misconstrue or read what you want into it.

[Voice for Peace]

11. very true, thank you

it would be nice to hear a fun happy story from the men in the photo

[PCIntern]

3. Good for him...

A realhumanbeing as opposed to the opposition...

[Angry Dragon]

16. I read your post and thought of this

President Obama has hugged many babies and children.
Anyone have a picture of Willard even touching a baby or child??
Just thinking out loud ............

[sad sally]

23. Did you see Willard in Louisana with hurrican victims? No hugs, no shoulder wraps, no handshakes

even. Ever seen him hug one of his grandkids or give them a kiss? The man appears, to me at least, not to like people very much. Even his embraces with the misses look uncomfortable.

[Voice for Peace]

4. fodder for the enemy..

hopefully there will be a good comeback from Biden.

The dudes in the pic don't look happy, and the rwers having a picnic on this.

[Curtland1015]

5. Oh noes!

Biden whispered something to her!

Call off the election!

[Politicalboi]

17. I think he said to her

"It's a big fucking deal".

[BlueStreak]

26. "Hey sweetie, I hear there's an erection going on this fall."

Yeah, the guys don't look all that pleased.

[BeyondGeography]

6. That's actually Jill wearing leather chaps

Surrounded by her jealous biker boyfriends.

[Voice for Peace]

9. a theatrical skit, for sure.

[GoneOffShore]

7. And the comments? Typical for the fuckwits on Politico.

[ProSense]

12. Breaking: Stupid ass story

Some observers were quick to joke that Biden is starting to resemble the working-class parody Biden seen in The Onion.

Earlier in the diner visit, Biden made banter with biker Jeff Cook.

"Can I borrow one of your bikes? They don't let me ride anymore."

"Probably not," Cook said.

"Probably not," the Veep responded, according to the pool report.

What exactly is "stunning" about a photo in diner with pool reporters present? And what exactly is the point of "The Onion" dig?

People like Biden. They don't like Mitt.

[Curtland1015]

14. Exactly. It was a public appearance, he didn't sneak into a biker bar looking for a lap dance!

Remain calm everyone!

[cali]

15. I think it's a cute photo

but the story is pathetic

[PassingFair]

18. "The Onion" Joe Biden parody pic:

?1407

[ProSense]

22. I'm familiar

and that's really hilarious.

What I don't get is what the stupid implication with this out of context photo has to do with that? I mean, it's as if they're trying to hit Biden for his working-class appeal.

[loyalsister]

24. Haven't you seen the suburban harley riders?

Middle class white guys whose middle aged crisis extended beyond that of their children.

[GoneOffShore]

27. The "Born to Mild" crowd.

They think RedBull and ExLax is a great combo.

[Warpy]

28. Look between her knees

That's the edge of a chair seat. He's in back of the chair, in a booth seat.

Unfortunately, all future copies of this one will have the chair seat cropped out.

We know what they do. They do it every single time.

[Iggo]

29. If ya don't hate bikers or Democrats...

...there's nothing wrong with that pic.

[liberal N proud]

30. They are trying to make something from nothing!

[Brickbat]

31. I find that picture awesome and hilarious.

[ellie]

40. So do I!

Joe Biden rocks!

[Webster Green]

32. Lots of pearl-clutching in the comments.

[Arctic Dave]

33. LOL. Way to go Veep!

[drm604]

34. Those two guys do NOT look happy.

[AnnieBW]

36. Good thing that Dr. J is secure in her marriage

If she was the jealous type, Joe would be in the doghouse for sure!

[alcibiades_mystery]

37. "Some observers were quick to note..."

Those observers being extremist right wing reporters for Fox News and Politico.

[Nye Bevan]

38. Clearly discussing the size of the stimulus package.

OK I know. Mutter mutter salacious out of context misconstrued blah blah blah stupid ass etc. etc.

But still hilarious.

[pinboy3niner]

39. How disappointing was The %#*%# Hill?

Their false report, saying she sat in Biden's lap, stood all day and was not retracted.

[Kennah]

41. Another pic from the club's FB page and the guys are smiling

[Kennah]

42. A few more pics, and his hands are on her shoulders

Not seeing any need to get all in a twist.
