Dear Vice President Biden - Time to Update the Rolodex

Marty Walsh?  Mayor Marty Walsh?  (Photo/TheAtlantic)

White House called for Boston's Mayor-Elect...  At least, they tried.

Wanted to tell Marty Walsh that they were on his side.

They got through to Marty Walsh but it was not their guy.

Credit to Joe Biden; giving it another try.

Didn't even get a Walsh the second time he called.

Time that new Directory Assistance gets installed.

Biden kept on trying though and finally got through.

Wonder if the Walshes who I know got phone calls, too?

President Obama's secretary did the same;

Here in Boston, Marty Walsh is quite a common name.

This Walsh knew the Mayor-Elect and had him on speed dial...

White House Rolodex ain't been updated in a while.

Race for the White House - The Genius of Joe Biden

Rudy Giuliani thinks Joe Biden isn't smart.

I think it's more likely that he only acts the part.

Sometimes, when he's on a roll, he's known to make a gaffe -

Bringing our attention to an issue with a laugh.

Biden holds the second highest office in the land;

Don't become Vice President unless you understand

It's your job to go and kick the hornets' nest because

It would not be Statesman like, at all, if your boss does.

In defense of Biden's point, the Romney/Ryan plan

Seems to favor Wall Street - not so much the common man.

Biden gets an audience whenever he's unchained;

Makes his point indelible...  That isn't scatter-brained.

That, my friends, is genius of the politician's kind.

Wouldn't be surprised at all to find Joe Biden's mind

Works at least 3 times as fast as normal people's do...

Paid some more attention to the issues, haven't you?

Race for the White House - Joe Biden Unchained

Tighten up those seat belts people - Biden's off his leash.

Have you heard the news about his latest rally? Sheesh!

Told a group of voters (more than half of whom were black)

Wall Street wants them back in chains...  Of subtlety, no lack.

Biden does this kind of thing, and yes - he does it well.

Picks a fight the other side must then respond to. Swell.

Charming politicians with a gifted turn of phrase

Are not what the country needs to listen to these days.

People who are serious (and - no - there aren't enough)

Don't want the distractions of this petty, high-school stuff.

Tell us what you plan to do to fix the growing debt;

Big ideas like mortgages or, even better yet,

How about some tax reforms?  Let's simplify the code.

Running out of space to kick that farther down the road.

No, it isn't sexy but, with Biden's gift for words

It provides some humor for us patriotic nerds.
