Joe Biden gives speech to empty room

The Vice President was greeted by his adoring fans

Poor Joe Biden. The garrulous veep traveled to a small town in Pennsylvania a few days ago to tell the bumpkins about the glories of federal stimulus money. He wanted the good folks in Erie to know that the Obama administration is bringing broadband internet access to rural America.

Apparently, no one cared.

Only about 100 people showed up to hear Biden’s self-aggrandizing speech. The room looked empty. So empty, in fact, that volunteers quickly began removing chairs in a futile attempt to make it look like a full house.

This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “moving the deck chairs on the Titanic.”

  • Haha. I live in Erie and didn't even know Biden was in the area. It was a much bigger deal when Bush came last month (despite the fact that Erie is a yellow-dog Democrat city)...and when the Extreme Makeover folks came to town this week.
