My God, what a loser Joe Biden is. After presiding over a swearing in ceremony in Iraq for 237 new U.S. citizens — members of the American armed forces from 59 countries, including 12 from Iraq — this is as much pride as he could muster for his country:

“As corny as it sounds, damn, I’m proud to be an American,” Biden said, according to the pool report. “Thanks for choosing us; you are the reason why America is strong.”

Corny? Corny? Nice sentiment from the effin’ Vice President. Sure glad we’re not being embarrassed by Sarah Palin!
