Joe Biden primetime action drama in works

Joe Biden has been lurking in the shadows so far, as the Obama administration has had to deal with actual issues, but now it has been revealed that he has signed on with FOX to star in an action drama titled "Miami Vice President" that will begin airing on Thursday nights in the spring.

In the show Biden will play a role based on James "Sonny" Crockett, the character Don Johnson made famous in the mid-80's for his cool demeanor, white jacket and t-shirt attire, and lack of perspiration even under the glaring Miami sun. Viewers are to believe that the Vice President works the political scene during the day and then takes his 52 foot Scarab to Miami each evening to fight evil.

It has not been revealed if Biden will take on a partner for the first season, but insiders believe it would be best if he did in order to highlight his incredible ability to lead.

One logistical issue is that producers want to avoid the power of suggestion that comes with being Joe Biden, as recent polls indicate that nearly 88% of Americans want to be Joe Biden, and therefore don't feel it's appropriate to arm him with a handgun. Initial scripts had the Vice President warding off criminals with clever insults, but test audiences were having a hard time finding this "believable". It is now rumored that Biden will take down the bad guys by hurling metal garbage can lids and subdue them with an American flag pin.

Another concern for producers was getting viewers to believe the shows opening, which implies that Biden has made the 1,373 mile boat ride from D.C. to Miami in only three minutes. It seems they have, as early reports rave about the eye-catching imagery of Biden morphing from politician to shirtless vigilante backed by a pulse pounding rendition of Genesis' "Land of Confusion" .
