VP Biden turns down prom invite, but sends corsage

[Sunlei]

"WASHINGTON (AP) — What happens when you invite Vice President Joe Biden to your prom? Chances are he won't show. But he doesn't ignore it, either.


That's what happened when Talia Maselli invited Biden to her high school prom in Newington, Conn. The student reached out last fall knowing Biden's dance card would likely fill up.

Biden couldn't make it, but he sent a handwritten card and a corsage — baby's breath, white roses, and red, white and blue ribbons. Biden's office says he was touched by the invitation and personally picked out the corsage so Maselli would feel special.

Biden says in the note that he's flattered but his schedule wouldn't let him attend. Biden's office also is arranging for Maselli to visit the White House to meet with Biden in July."

1. What a very classy guy!

Joe Biden has charisma = 18 and is +4 to hit and does double die 10 damage versus conservatives.

4. Joe Biden is a great VP and listens to people. He loves 'the people'

He does so much work to make things 'better' and never toots his own horn. So grateful to him for listening to the concerns, his understanding and his help with the bill passed in Jan 2014.

5. Let's face it: the Dems have a real lock on this generation...some kid thinks Joe Biden is cool...

do you think she'd ask a Republican like, say, Mitch McConnell?
