Vice-President Joe Biden sat down with wOw woman Lesley Stahl on 60 Minutes this weekend, and, of course, had to address his reputation for putting his foot in his mouth.

Stahl asked the former Senator if he was nervous for the interview, the lawmaker replied, "It’s not you I’m afraid of. It’s me!!" Biden certainly wasn’t joking when the conversation turned to his son, who is currently serving in Iraq. Stahl inquired as to whether Biden worried about his offspring’s safety, to which the vice-president remarked, "The way I deal with it, I don’t think about it that way. I’m proud of him. He’s a good man."

We’re not sure whether Biden thinks former vice-president Dick Cheney is a good man, but Biden definitely doesn’t agree with his predecessors’ constant criticism of the new administration, which Mr. Cheney has described as weak and a threat to national security. Cheney also claims Obama apologizes too much. Said Biden on Cheney:

Look, I don’t know anybody in the world who thinks this guy’s a weak president, number one. Number two, I don’t know what he’s apologized for. For example, saying we should close Guantanamo is not an apology. That’s not an apology saying we’re  fundamental — we don’t engage in torture. He didn’t go out and say, ‘Oh, my God, the fact that the last administration did these things — we’re so sorry.’ He did say — he just said, ‘We don’t do torture any more.’

As for how Obama thinks of Biden, he told Stahl,  "You know, Joe’s not afraid to tell me what he thinks. And that’s exactly what I need, and exactly what I want."
