When asked on Friday about Dick Cheney's recent criticisms of the new administration's Afghanistan strategy, Joe Biden spoke from the heart:

Mr. Biden shrugged off Mr. Cheney’s point that the old administration had left behind a review of Afghanistan.

“Who cares what — ” he said, and then stopped himself to find another way to put it. (“I can see the headline now,” said the famously free-wheeling vice president. “I’m getting better, guys.”)

Burn! He also called Cheney's opinions "irrelevant."
