Vice President Joe Biden said he was sorry for telling a dry cleaning shop owner that he "should go f*ck a walnut tree" a few days ago.
The store owner was asked by the VP how much cleaning a shirt costs and the answer was given "Just lower our taxes and we'll call it even!" Biden then replied with his comment that, in retrospect he admitted "could be taken two ways."
Biden added that "when I told him to commit an unnatural act with a tree, I certainly didn't mean it in a bad or insulting way. It's just an expression, like 'don't be silly' or 'yeah, we'll lower taxes when hell freezes over. It was just a campaign promise that we always planned to break anyway.' It was just something like that."
The dry cleaner said he knew Biden really didn't mean anything by the comment since most of what he says doesn't actually mean anything anyway.
