HISTORIC! 47th white man sworn in as vice-president
White men continue their impressive dominance of the VP position.
As the nation rejoices that Barack Obama has become America's first African-American president, let us not forget that Joe Biden is its 47th white, male vice-president. (OK, there a few duplicates, but you know what we mean. Don't make us count backwards.) The white man's impressive ethnic and gender streak began in 1789 with John Adams. Vice-President Biden seized the baton from Dick Cheney over the summer, and despite a last-second surge by Sarah Palin, crossed the second place line in first, today.
23/6 salutes Joseph Biden, America's 47th white, male vice-president.
