'Biden' To Live-Tweet Debate

Though Vice President Joe Biden will be in tonight’s debate alongside Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), “Joe Biden” will be live-tweeting the event.

OnionPolitics tweeted the announcement last night that “JoeBiden” will assume control of the account starting at 8 p.m. ET. The debate begins at 9 p.m.

Biden is one of The Onion‘s most popular parody characters. In 2009, the mock newspaper ran the memorable headline “Shirtless Biden Washes Trans Am In White House Driveway.” Biden is quoted as saying, “This baby just needs a little scrub down.”
