You think I’m kidding? This is the only part the president was right about: Don’t mess with Joe, because I mean it. I’m serious, guys. I’m serious. I’m absolutely serious.
Sure you are.
You know, my niece has a habit of looking up at whoever she's trying to convince that her latest whim must be satisfied immediately and saying, "I'm serious! I'm really, REALLY serious!" And you know what always happens to me when she says that? I get a fit of the giggles which I invariably try (unsuccessfully) to suppress.
Dear Mr. Vice President: if you come to a point where you have to say that you're being serious, then you've already lost the battle. Nobody is taking you seriously, and there's not a thing you can do about it. The joke's on you.
