(Las Vegas, NV)— This morning, while cleaning up the set of last night’s Democratic debate, a custodian found former Vice President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. still sleeping at his podium. “He was snoring pretty loudly, and my vacuuming didn’t even seem to disturb him,” said Zeke Harris, as he mopped around Mr. Biden’s shoes. “Once I heard him mumble something like ‘Well, Barack loves me’. But that was it.”
“I tried to rouse him as we left the stage,” fellow presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren said. “But Mike Bloomberg was still droning on in the background, and that sure didn’t help.”
“We’re not going to wake him,” a DNC official said. “He needs the sleep at his age, and at least this way he’ll go for a while without making an embarrassing gaffe of some sort.”

Is this true.
It is satire.
Thanks for a very funny article… Great !
This is hysterical. When I saw the headline, I thought it was true. Well done.
Left me wondering what happened to his SS protectors. They probably fell asleep also. This is very funny, Bernie will be next. The good “old boys” on the trail.
