Oh - this is so sad. Biden's homeboy was at the inauguration, but couldn't get in.

While the struggle over at the Purple Ticket Gate at inauguration is the stuff of legend, it should be mentioned that there were plenty of people who reported snafus over at the Blue Gate as well. And among the people denied at that entrance? Our favorite ten year-old cub reporter, Damon Weaver, who still has not been able to score that coveted interview with President Barack Obama. Why won't Joe Biden, Vice President and Homeboy, help?

The Palm Beach Post has the news:

Damon has been vying for an interview since Obama was elected. There have been disappointments along the way, especially Tuesday, when his blue ticket failed to get him a spot on the National Mall for the inauguration after he had waited hours.

He was waylaid by a broken generator that powered one of the metal detectors, causing backups in the security line that Damon and his TV production coach, Brian Zimmerman, were in.

He also previewed a question he'd ask Obama: "Will you let Joe the Plumber fix the toilets in the White House bathrooms?" Hopefully, the answer's no!



Remember him??
