Joe Biden Goes on a Costco Run

Dear Democrats who still haven't received the "gifts" Mitt Romney accused the Obama administration of distributing: hope you like stuff that comes in 3-packs. This morning, Vice President Joe Biden "engaged in an extended Costco shopping spree, to the delight of shoppers and employees at the store, which just opened its doors to the public today," according to pool reports.

Yes, the veep has his own Costco card. Yes, he hugged shoppers at random.  And yes, Twitter had a field day…

I would trade my life savings and one of my toes to see the vice president as a contestant on Supermarket Sweep

Playing hide-and-seek with Secret Service in the produce section; whispers to a passerby: "It's like we're in the jungle!" #bidenatcostco

Maybe Biden will pick up some of the Costco shirts that Ann Romney would buy for her husband

Tim Pawlenty might be a Sam's Club Republican, but Joe Biden is apparently a Costco Democrat. #hiswordasaBiden

I just want to know how Biden made it out of the store without pausing in front of every display, proclaiming, "Now that's a big fucking deal. Literally."
