Connecticut Teen Asked Biden To Prom So He Sent Her A Corsage
A Newington, Conn. teen decided to ask her dream date to prom: Vice President Joe Biden.
Talia Maselli wrote a letter to Biden inviting him to the Newington High School prom, not expecting a response from the Vice President.
....
She even warned that she would bring House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) in his place if Biden declined.
....
Yet on May 10, the day before her prom, a delivery man arrived at Maselli's door with a corsage and a note from Biden inviting her to the White House.
"I am flattered, but my schedule will not permit me to be in Connecticut on Friday evening," the Vice President said in the letter. "But I hope you will accept this corsage and enjoy your prom as much as I did mine."
....
"He wanted her to feel special at her prom, even though he wasn't able to come," a spokesperson for the Vice President told the Courant.
