So, that happened. Vice President Biden administered the ceremonial oath to Secretary of State John “JK tweeting” Kerry.

And much Biden-ing occurred.

Biden about to admin oath to Sec of State John Kerry. Says to laughs, "Maybe 10-12 years ago, I might have been standing where John is."

1 difference: no president O or VP Biden RT @jonward11: Biden laments Kerry's 2004 loss: "How different the world might be today."

Heh. But Biden doubled down on that idiocy. Hey, if Kerry had won, maybe Biden would be Secretary of State! You know, a real job. Instead of Vice President.
Some good Biden-ing happening at Kerry's swearing in. Says if Kerry was elected president, he might have "gotten a real job" and become SoS.

"Who the hell knows," says Veep #Biden, mulling a world where #SecState Kerry had become prez. "I might have been able to get a real job."

And, of course, he flubbed a line.
Biden stumbled and repeated the line: "…the duties of he office on which I’m about to enter." No harm. Kerry really sworn in last Friday.

At least no one was “breaking his flow.” So, there’s that.
