Vintage Uncle Joe Moments at Biden's Last Senate Swearing-in

WASHINGTON — After the formal swearing-in for the 115th Congress inside the Senate chamber today, Vice President Joe Biden conducted his last ceremonial swearing-in for senators and their sometimes large familial entourages.

Biden has delivered some legendary quips and cringe-worthy glomming at the event, as expressed by Sen. Chris Coons’ (D-Del.) daughter at the last swearing-in:

Today, a baby in the family of Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) expertly ducked the infamous Biden Kiss:

He aired some feelings that probably didn’t make the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee too happy:

And he let his post-White House plans slip (that’s the University of Pennsylvania):
