Like stealing candy, er, cake, from an 8-year old


Gotta love a veep candidate who steals the thunder from an 8-year old at her birthday party:

Courtesy of people.com:

How did Sen. Biden tell the family?
Jill Biden: My granddaughter, Maisy, turned 8 and we were having a little birthday party for her. We had just finished blowing out the candles and were cutting the cake. Joe said to everybody, 'Hey, I have something that I'd like to announce.' And he said, 'Barack called me and asked me to be vice-president.' Everybody – I get so emotional when I think about it – and everybody clapped and started hugging.

Think there's any Obama thunder to steal?

I like the quote at the end where she asks for some ice cream cake. I wonder if the quote wasn't more like:

"Hey, you attention whoring old man, can we please focus on the important thing here....I'm freaking 8 today!"
