How to get Biden to stop talking

Posted by James Pindell October 18, 2006 10:41 AM

For years Senator Joe Biden, a Delaware Democrat, has been chided for liking to hear himself talk and being quoted in the press. But, finally, those who braved Biden’s soliloquies have an answer to the pressing question: What would get this guy to be quiet?

The answer is former Gov. Mark Warner.

During an informal press conference in New Hampshire this past Monday, Biden was interrupted in mid-sentence by his vibrating Motorola Razr phone. He immediately excused himself leaving the press to talk with Democratic Congressional candidate Paul Hodes. When Biden returned he confirmed it was indeed Warner, who dropped out of the presidential race last week. Biden said last month he is running for president.

“He wasn't calling about an endorsement he just wants to meet up,” Biden said.
