Biden: "Neanderthal crowd" obstructed VAWA renewal.

[geek tragedy]

Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday slammed the Republicans who slowed the passage of the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act as "this sort of Neanderthal crowd" in the House as he touted what he considers to be his unique understanding of how Congress works.

"I'm going to say something outrageous," Biden said at the Naval Observatory at an event marking the 19th anniversary of the bill. "I think I understand the Senate better than any man or woman who's ever served in there, and I think I understand the House ... I was surprised this last time ... the idea we still had to fight? We had to fight to reauthorize?"

"Did you ever think we'd be fighting over, you know, 17, 18 years later to reauthorize this?" he asked the crowd, which included people who'd worked on getting the original bill passed in 1994. "Well, you know what? The thing they didn't like, they said we like it the way it is," he said, without the protections for Native Americans living on tribal lands and LGBT people that the supporters pushed to include in the bill.

6. Another kick and rec

Sometimes a little name calling is in order. Especially when it's done in the jovial and jolly way that only Joe Biden can do it - while spitting venom out of the other side of his mouth. . Love Biden!

We love it that you stood up for us.

"Nothing, nothing, nothing I've ever been engaged in matters to me more than what you've made real," he told the crowd.
