Biden Exposes Self at Weigh-In For VP Debate; Palin “Livid”

ST. LOUIS - Sen. Joe Biden stunned officials of the  Commission on Presidential Debates when he stripped naked at the weigh-in for the Vice Presidential debate, a move he said was necessary in order to make weight.

Ring girls quickly held up a banner to hide Biden’s private parts, but Biden slapped it down and raised his arms in what one writer called a “triumphant display of masculinity.”

Sarah Palin, waiting in the wings, was reportedly “livid” that Biden subjected her to the sight of his genitalia.  “But it confirmed what I suspected,” she said.  “You know what they say about men from tiny states who make big gaffes.”
