Trouwens, die nieuwe vice-president, Joe Biden heeft zijn vrouw en 1-jarige dochter verloren bij een auto-ongeluk in 1972.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w(...)rly_political_careerEr is vorige maand ofzo, een telefoongesprek met Nixon (toenmalig president) vrijgegeven.
quote:
BIDEN: Hello, Mr. President. How are you?
NIXON: Senator, I know this is a very tragic day for you, but I wanted you to know that all of us here at the White House are thinking of you and praying for you and also for your two children. I understand that you were on the Hill at the time and your wife was just driving by herself.
BIDEN: Yes, that’s correct.
NIXON: So, I mean looking at it as you must in terms of a future, because you, you have the great fortune of being young…I remember I was two years older than you when I went to the House. But the main point is, you can remember that she was there when you won a great victory, and you enjoyed it together. And now I’m sure that she’ll be watching you from now on. Good luck to you.
BIDEN: Thank you very much, Mr. President. Thank you for your call. I appreciate it.
Best een sneu verhaal...
Dit is zijn tweede vrouw:
