Boston, MA – When Marty Walsh won the Boston mayor’s race, Vice President Joe Biden was quick to pick up the phone to congratulate him.

But, there was a problem. The Marty Walsh who Biden had on the other end of the phone wasn’t the Marty Walsh who had been elected to succeed longtime Boston Mayor Thomas Menino.
The Marty Walsh who Biden had connected with was actually a former aide to the late U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy.
That Marty Walsh said before he could explain the mix-up, Biden launched into his congratulations, saying “Marty, you did it, you son of gun.”
Walsh, who said he has received misplaced calls for the other Marty Walsh in the past, said he quickly set Biden straight and passed along the cellphone number for the mayor-elect.
Walsh said Biden then jokingly congratulated him for not being mayor.
Biden’s office did not immediately return a call for comment Wednesday.
Something’s wrong if I’m not surprised by this. He does have a nice smile though! And it always sounds like he means well!
What else is news. Has this Son of a gun ever gotten something right yet
It’s unfortunate we can’t see a picture of Biden laughing when this happened
Biden is so hopeless, its not even a laughing matter. And he wants to be our president in 2016 – what a joke!!
What a neb!
Ad long as he got the correct bin laden

Not so funny. If incompetent Hillary were to decide to sit out the next election (which she won’t), this sucker for punishment republic would surely elect laughing Joe
