Vice President Joe Biden told Jay Leno on Friday that he wanted to make something very clear -- "It wasn't my idea" to send redheaded Russian spy Anna Chapman back home in a swap for captured U.S. spies. He added: "I thought maybe they'd take Rush Limbaugh or something."

Biden was on The Tonight Show on Friday, and was asked why the United States released ten spies back to Russia, but only got four back in return.

"We got back four really good ones," said Biden. After Leno showed a picture of Chapman, Biden added: "Let me make it clear. It wasn't my idea to send her back."

Here's part one:

Classic Biden! Nah, the Russians wouldn't have taken Rush anyways.

I love this guy! Says what he means, means what he says, and who gives a flip about dotting the correct i's and crossing the political t's!

If we could only get a couple more people like him involved, this country could go to great places.

LOL. Mamabird Limbaugh is going to shit his size 80 tighty-whiteys over this and be vomitting all kinds of bilious nonsense. Can't wait to hear it when all his little chickenhawk chickadees start regurgitating it everywhere. I can see it now "how dare the VP attack a private citizen!" Honestly, I have think Biden would have trouble resisting the urge to just cold-cock the bloviating douchehat if he came within an arm's length...and that's why you gotta love Biden.

I thought Rush had promised to inflict himself on Costa Rica and its socialized medical system if the health insurance reform bill passed. Why is he still here. It's not like he can't afford the plane ticket.

Leno is so five minutes ago that I doubt anyone even saw that clip. I wonder if Leno will follow up the sleazy "gee whiz guys" knife-in-the-back number he pulled on Conan by accepting the Emmy Award for The Tonight Show he didn't earn.
