Anthony Bourdain, Bear Grills, Bobby Flay...Joe Biden? That's right: The latest White House petition getting traction on the social web calls for Vice President Joe Biden to host his own show.
Specifically, the petition, which was created Friday, demands the Obama administration "authorize the production of a recurring television program featuring Vice President Joe Biden."
Here's the full request:
"Vice President Joe Biden has a demonstrated ability to bring people together, whether at the negotiating table or at the neighborhood diner. We, therefore, urge the Obama Administration to authorize the production of a recurring C-SPAN television program featuring the daily activities and interactions of the Vice President with elected officials, foreign dignitaries and everyday American families. Such a program would educate the American public about the duties and responsibilities of their Vice President, while providing a glimpse of the lighthearted side of politics even in the midst of contentious and divisive national debates."
Why should Biden get his own show? It probably has something to do with this video, which shows the veep's pretty fantastic response to a baby on the floor of Congress:
With approximately 500 signatures, the petition is still far from the 25,000 required to get a response from the White House. Would you sign?
