Apparently Vice President-elect Joe Biden and his wife attempted to go see the new Brad Pitt movie in Delaware last Saturday night, only to be turned away because the theater had already sold out.
Why is this news? That's how things are supposed to work in this country, where we don't have royalty that's allowed to rudely brush by the peasants and grab the best seats in the house, forcing the poor ticketholders to see a later showing.
To their credit, the Bidens didn't try to weasel their way in by playing the "Don't you know who we are?" card, although that would have probably worked on the hyperventilating manager:
"'I was a little excited -- I'm not gonna lie,' said Muhamut, a 21-year-old senior at West Chester University. 'The Secret Service guy told me to calm down.'"
Dear God. They're just ordinary people the same as you, dear.
Hopefully the couple will arrive a little bit earlier the next time they decide to take in a flick, so that they won't be thwarted by the same situation. I know how frustrating it can be to get up for a movie, only to have to settle for a different one because I procrastinated and didn't get there on time.
