Good Grief, Joe Biden

I understand the enthusiasm and the sentiment of Vice President Joe Biden, telling President Obama that it's a big deal that health care reform passed. But, really, you have to use the "F" adjective right there at that minute, with the entire world listening in?

Back stage, off camera somewhere, yes, some high fives and boisterous celebration. Right there at the signing ceremony, a little decorum and not ultimately upstaging the big guy would be good.

These seem like very simple principles, that very simple people, most of us, are able to adhere to on a daily basis. We might feel like saying certain things, but that little editor in our brain tells us to hold back.
