Biden to Perdue on rail funding: ‘Georgia gets nothing’
June 3, 2009 at 10:08 pm by Thomas Wheatley in NewsTIME magazine has a hilarious pool report of today’s D.C. sitdown between Vice President Joe Biden, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray Lahood and several governors on the topic of high-speed rail. Gov. Sonny Perdue was among those in D.C. for the meeting:
Upon entering, VPOTUS ran into Perdue who appeared, to the VPOTUS at least, to be leaving before the meeting started. Banter and jokes followed.
VPOTUS: “Where you going?”
Perdue: “I was leaving.”
VPOTUS: “What the hell’s wrong with you?” (laughter)VPOTUS shook hands around the table with several “Good to see you, man,” and “Good to see you, Ed [Rendell].” Said upon sitting: “…Georgia gets nothing. I’m only kidding, only kidding, only kidding.”
Biden knows, y’all. He knows.
