Biden and The Onion poke fun at each other

Vice President Biden is poking fun at the satirical newspaper The Onion for poking fun at him.

Hours after The Onion released a mock autobiography of Biden -- The President of Vice -- Biden "protested" the depiction of him driving a TransAm.

He's a Corvette guy.

"A Trans-Am?" tweeted Biden. "Ever look under the hood of a Corvette?"

Biden's tweet included hashtag "#imavetteguy."

that he's so unruffled by the depiction of "Diamond" Joe Biden. How many on the other side (hell, how many Democrats, too) would be spitting teeth if an online parody site depicted them as a hard-drinking, womanizing, sleazy dude trapped in the 1980s?

Before the convention of Joe Biden hitchhiking there. Joe is the kind of guy who appreciates a ribbing now and then, and I appreciate that.
