Biden responds to The Onion’s fake Biden

{mosads}The Onion this week published a mock-autobiography of Biden titled “The President of Vice” that includes, among other things, The Onion’s fake news story about the vice president washing his 1981 Trans Am shirtless in the White House driveway.

To publicize the new Kindle e-book, The Onion is running a Q&A on the social news site reddit with their version of Biden, who they call “’Diamond’ Joe Biden.”

TThe Onion encouraged reddit users to ask anything about Biden’s Trans Am — but Biden’s question is about a different vehicle altogether.

“Ever look under the hood of a Corvette?” he asked, in the tweet.

The fake Biden responded to the real one in the reddit chat, writing that “some imposter” was spreading false information about his love of the Trans Am.

“I’ll tell ya right now, whatever they say nothing can come between me and my Zam,” wrote The Onion’s Biden.
