TODDLER DROPS VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN'S COIN INTO VENT

In the must-be-a-really-young-republican department, Vice President Joe Biden got an unexpected response when giving a child one of his special VP coins. -Editor

At Michael Bloomberg’s ceremony at the British Embassy in Washington, DC, where he was awarded an honorary knighthood by Queen Elizabeth, Joe Biden took an immediate liking to Mike’s 1-year-old grandson, Jasper, who was there with his mom, Georgina.

A witness said, “The VP was so natural and sweet with him . . . at one point he even took Jasper’s pacifier out of his mouth and jokingly put it in his own. Just before he put Jasper down, he slipped him a special vice- presidential gold coin. Jasper took it and promptly walked straight over to a floor vent and threw in the coin through the open slots. Everyone gasped.”

Biden’s touchy-feely antics have inspired countless GIFs. But this might be the first time Biden’s been demeaned by a baby, albeit an undoubtedly bright one.

The source added that embarrassment over the coin was averted during the lunch that followed. An embassy employee ripped the vent up and dug up the coin.
