Joe being Joe.

Pool report: Approaching a table of men he knew to be Greek, the VP said, “I’m Joe Bidenopoulos.”

Update: He’s also the “most Greek Irishman he’s ever known.”

WARREN, Ohio – The vice president strode into a local restaurant here with a message for the Greek-Americans enjoying their lunch: “I’m Joe Bidenopoulos.”

“Ask George,” he told some men gathered around a table at the Mocha House. It was unclear who George was, maybe someone at the table, but it was clear that the vice president was talking about himself when he said something about “the most Greek Irishman he’s ever known.”
