Biden congratulates ‘Veep’ star on Emmy

“Veep” star Julia Louis-Dreyfus is getting a shout-out from the real-life vice president, Joe Biden.

Biden tweeted congratulations to the actress on Tuesday, a day after she took home her third consecutive Emmy award for her role as the sometimes-blundering Vice President Selina Meyer on the HBO satire.

Congrats @OfficialJLD. A fellow Veep with a great sense of humor, and a good friend. #Emmys pic.twitter.com/wikJKdREBF

Reality and fantasy have collided before for the real and fake VPs. In his tweet, Biden included a still image from a video he filmed with Louis-Dreyfus for May’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.

The pair also shared a lunch at the White House last year.

I couldn’t make a decision about what to eat.”
