Biden’s "A Long-Winded Person"

January 21, 2009

Damon Weaver, the 10-year-old reporter who interviewed Joe Biden back in October, revealed to MSNBC’s Norah O’Donnell just now his top two questions for President Obama, should he land such an interview.

1) What are you going to do about violence to keep me safe?

2) Will you make Joe the Plumber fix the toilets in the White House bathrooms?

Also, asked how he thought his Biden interview went, Weaver said: “It went very well. He’s a long-winded person.” (And gaffe-prone! You forgot gaffe-prone.) O’Donnell concurred, calling Biden “verbose.”
