Just announced: The Onion will be releasing an e-book on Friday, an "autobiography" of Vice President Biden. The title is The President of Vice. To promote the book, the Onion will be having an Ask Me Anything on Reddit the same day, answering questions as Diamond Joe.

The other time I saw him reacting to the Diamond Joe, he mentioned the Trans-Am thing. I think it is really hilariously consistent with the Diamond Joe character that of all the poo poo printed about him in those articles, the one thing he consistently takes issue with is that they get his car wrong.

From the Ask Me Anything:

Q: [Joe Biden] A Trans-Am? Ever look under the hood of a Corvette?

A: Those glorified Camaros aint good for nothing but smokin' the tires.

Q: What's this we're hearing about you being a Corvette guy?

A: I might be wiggin' out a little right now, but I think there's some imposter out there spreading bad poo poo about me. I'll tell ya right now, whatever they say nothing can come between me and my Zam.
