Jon Stewart Interviews Obama's VP Pick, Joe Biden, on The Daily Show

I got my message from Barack Obama at 4:56 this morning.  I'm assuming this was some kind of attempt on Obama's part to prove that he was ready for a 3:00 am call, even on a Friday night.

Anyway, as a very sleepy Dennis reported earlier, he picked Joe Biden for VP.  Finally, the Democrats have a chance to win that coveted Delaware vote.  Obama has kindly set up a website where you can congratulate Joe.

My guess is that his choice was made a year and a half ago when Biden gave him this lovely compliment:

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy … I mean, that's a storybook, man."

Here's Jon Stewart from January of last year helping Biden with that sentence.
