Vice President Biden came out swinging Monday when asked about the lingering recession, comparing it to a "petulant gnat caught up in my periphery", and vowed to "flip every cushion on every White House couch" looking for spare change to help ease the burgeoning federal deficit. The frisky Biden, known mostly for making strange comments at inopportune times, was asked if he was worried that the recession is taking longer to recover from than originally projected. He responded with a classic, trademark index finger jab and thrust, his go-to move, and some strong rhetoric. "I wasn't the one who originally projected anything, and I'll have you know that I took great pleasure in garroting those who made the original projections," Biden said. When asked if he literally meant that he stabbed somebody, Biden simply responded, "You can't figuratively stab someone, at least not where I come from in Pennsylvania."
Photographers were allowed to follow Biden around the White House for a short time, and witnessed the Vice President foraging under cushions in many of the common areas, before he cheerfully announced that he had recovered $1.29 to help pay down the mountain of debt that the federal government is facing.
