“Excuse Me, Dentist, Just Let Me Take This Call from Barack Obama”
It was quite possibly the single most important telephone call of Joe Biden’s life: Barrack Obama officially asked him to run for VP.
But wouldn’t you know it… Biden was at the dentist’s office when the call came in.
Biden’s wife was getting a root canal, and her dutiful husband was sitting patiently in the waiting room. Though it was originally reported that Biden himself was having dental work done, he did not actually have to accept Obama’s offer through a numb and cotton-filled mouth.
