Joe Biden: LaGuardia Like an Airport in a Third World Country
If he blindfolded someone at LGA, they'd think that's where they were, says the veep
LaGuardia airport is notorious for older crowded terminals and other constraints that contribute to horrid flight delays. And Vice President Joe Biden doesn't appear to be a big fan.
"If I blindfolded someone and took them at 2 o'clock in the morning into the airport in Hong Kong and said 'where do you think you are?' They would say, 'this must be America. This is a modern airport,'" he said on Thursday. "If I took them blindfolded and took them to LaGuardia airport in New York, he would like 'I must be in some third world country.' I'm not joking."

Go Joe! Joe Biden for President 2016.
You can be honest with us Papa Joe, it was the name that made you think you were in a third world country, wasn't it?
