Kinnock, who now serves as president of Cardiff University in Wales, told British Broadcasting Corp. radio that he and Biden were now friends and went on to praise the Delaware senator's foreign-policy acumen, a key selling point for the vice-presidential hopeful.

"(Biden) is a man of immense maturity and unmatched in the Senate, and probably much more widely, as an analyst and advocate in the foreign policy and defense policy areas," Kinnock told the BBC. "Even his enemies acknowledge his outstanding expertise."

1. That's cool. (I was expecting this to be a prank post, but am happily surprised!)

2. I love this line. Think I'll just call it my own!

Kinnock told the BBC that, the last time he saw Biden, the senator introduced him to aides by saying: "Hey you people, do you know this guy? He used to be my greatest speechwriter."

Glad Biden has a sense of humor. Lord knows, we need some humor in this country besides the laughing idiot in the big house. Or the laughing idiotS in the big houses???

3. That's funny! And Biden always can poke fun at himself.

For all the perceived arrogance, he's able to see his own foibles.

I don't know if you've see this, but even if you have, the look on his face is worth seeing again. (Very short)
