Not covered by healthcare, even now: Biden’s mouth

Vice President Joe Biden was effusive with his praise for President Obama today as he introduced the boss at a bill-signing for the historic healthcare legislation.

And, as Biden embraced Obama for the start of his East Room remarks, we’re pretty sure we heard the vice president and former longtime senator from Delaware utter a word that his predecessor as vice president, Dick Cheney, once uttered about an opponent.

‘This is a big deal,’ Biden could be heard telling Obama, except that he used an additional adjective -- one not safe for work or even for Washington politics -- before “deal.”

‘Thank you, Joe,’ Obama said at the start of his own remarks.
