OK, Joe actually said this on July 4th, but it was a holiday weekend and we were busy gorging ourselves on hot dogs at our neighbors’ Independence Day barbeque and just got to this story. But in our defense, it doesn’t really matter when Joe said it because any day is a good day for a bon mot du Joe.
Biden stopped in at a ceremony at Camp Victory in Baghdad where 237 U.S. servicemen and women from 59 countries were proudly being sworn in as new American citizens.
Can you imagine what a thrilling, emotional moment that must have been for those brave men and women?
That’s when Joe Biden, the Vice President of United States of America, got up to add a few special words to the occasion.
“As corny as it sounds,” he said, “Damn, I’m proud to be an American!”
BigHollywood.com summed it up perfectly:
If there’s one person, in one scenario, who should never, ever feel that it’s corny to be proud to be an American, it would be:
• The Vice President of the United States.
• Surrounded by hundreds of U.S. servicemen and women.
• Who have just become U.S. citizens.
• In a war zone.
• On Independence Day.
• You stupid moron, you.
