You’ve surely read the story of Joe Biden leaning over to President Obama and saying, “This is f@ckin’ big” during Tuesday’s ObamaCare signing ceremony.
But c’mon, man, this is Joe Biden. The man is too big to screw up just once a day.
Top of the Ticket reveals Joe’s other special moment:
Biden is fond of quoting poets in public, usually Irish ones and often in the Mideast for some reason. But today the man who was a senator while Obama was in the sixth grade chose another nationality.
Here’s what he said, according to the White House transcript:
As I said just before the president signed the healthcare bill, I quoted Virgil, the classic Greek poet, who once said, ‘The greatest wealth is health.’ The greatest wealth is health. Mr. President, you’ve made us a nobler and wealthier nation by providing for the health of your fellow citizens.
Here’s the problem, as loyal Ticket reader Mike points out:
Virgil wasn’t Greek. He was Roman. Very Roman. So Roman, in fact, that the author (70 BC-19 BC) of the “Aeneid,” among other famous works, is buried in Naples.
“Stand up, Virgil, let ‘em see you. Oh, what am I talking about?”
