Meet ‘Blacklung’ Joe Biden
Politics • September 2008 • Views: 319
Well, Joe Biden’s just gone up a notch in my estimation! A ‘hard coal miner.’ I can’t help but wonder whether Biden stole away from his family to work in the mines before he left Scranton at age 10. (If so, I want to talk to him about his views on child labor laws.) Or perhaps he worked in the mines during his summers away from Law school — to help pay the bills. Or maybe Biden’s family were coal miners — though his Wikipedia bio says his father was a car salesman, and his grandfather an elected official.
