Once upon a time I had a government teacher who said to my class, "for every good man there is a good woman behind him." I remember I was assigned to the last row that year and as I looked ahead of me I saw 3 good male friends at the desks in front of me. I responded (quite loudly, as I recall), "Wow, Mr. Burke, I must be amazing!"
I'm fairly certain that the people we choose to be our friends and our role models play a big role in defining who we are as people. I am quite certain that I have developed mannerisms, vocabulary and perhaps even some character traits from the people with whom I have chosen to walk through life.
VP candidate, Senator Joe Biden, had probably wished he had chosen a staff member better after this particular incident. The poor man or woman probably lost their job after this gaff. Watch and enjoy! And don't forget to "stand up for chuck."
