Biden Pacifier: VP Steals Paci From Bloomberg Grandson — Funny or Gross?

Vice President Joe Biden not only stole a pacifier from the grandson of Michael Bloomberg, he also stuck it in his mouth, generating online discussion that offered varied opinions on the behavior, from disgusting to sweet.

Georgina Bloomberg, daughter of Michael Bloomberg, posted a pic of Biden with her son’s pacifier in his mouth. She wrote, “What's a boy to do when the Vice President steals your pacifier?” when she posted it on Facebook.



Responses to the question varied from “smack him” to “gross” to “I love this!!!”

Biden was attending Michael Bloomberg’s knighthood ceremony at the British embassy when he took the opportunity to play with little Jasper Michael Brown Quintana, and ended up stealing his pacifier.

Twitter rang with opinions on Biden’s pacifier etiquette:

I go back & forth between being embarrassed Joe Biden's a heartbeat away & wishing he could be vice president forever http://t.co/3bCMWSbYUZ

Yes, Joe Biden popped a pacifier in his mouth while playing with a toddler. It's cute, and what grandpas do. Leave it alone.
