Ohhhhh Brother No. 35: Amtrak Smamtrak

Yesterday, as reported by The Daily Caller, a ceremony was held in Wilmington, Delaware, where an Amtrak train station was renamed in honor of our current Vice President, Joe Biden.

The CEO of Amtrak, Joe Boardman, made his way to Wilmington by train, and all was right with the world, it would seem.  Except the train he was riding was stuck in Baltimore.  In the end, as the article continues, Boardman had to take a car to get to the ceremony.

Ohhhhh brother!

I must say, this couldn't have turned out better (or funnier!) if the Vice President, the gaffe master himself, had unwittingly caused the delay!  Considering the Vice President has been a strong proponent of funding for Amtrak and high-speed rail, I can't think of a better event for this funny story to be connected to than a ceremonial renaming of a stimulus-funded train station after Joe Biden.
