On Tuesday, Joe Biden, the walking, talking gaffe machine currently serving as the vice president, told survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing that “it was worth it.”
“My god, you have survived and you have soared,” he said. “It was worth, it was worth it. I mean this sincerely, just to hear each of you speak.”
Reaction was pretty much what you’d expect:
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
