Poor VP Joe Biden and his lackeys aren’t fans of HBO’s new show Veep, which centers on a fictional version of his office. A staffer of his had this to say about it: “It would have been more watercooler conversation-inspiring if it had been funnier. The show gets the D.C. personalities right, but it has what’s funny about the VP all wrong. A senator would come to him. Not the other way around. That the VP paradoxically has enormous power and no power — is treated like the president but isn’t. But they missed that.†Perhaps they should pitch a rival VP-based comedy to Showtime? The more the merrier, Joe!
