And I am not going to quibble with your choice of words.

I love Joe Biden -- he is funny, warm, genuine, and spontaneous. I've never seen him as a gaffe machine or a loose cannon -- what I see is the most amazing vice president in my lifetime, a true partner for this president.

Dick Cheney sneered at Joe Biden for something he said or did on attaining the office of VP (I think it had to do with not behaving like Cheney!) and said that he himself had chosen to be "a consequential vice president" but that if Biden didn't want to be consequential that was a poor choice.

I believe that Joe Biden will go down in history as a truly consequential VP, and not for being a usurper but for being, as I said, a true partner for this president.
