Biden: 'My Image' Of Military Leaders Was 'Slim Pickens'

Vice President Joe Biden : “And I came to Washington as a 29-year-old kid,” said Biden. “I got elected. Before I was eligible to serve, I had to literally wait to be sworn in because I wasn’t eligible under the Constitution. You must be 30 years old. And my image of the military commanders at the time was, if you ever saw that old movie, if you ever rented it, where Slim Pickens is on the back of an atom bomb, dropping out of an aircraft, yelling, yippee-ki-yay! And ‘Dr. Strangelove’ was the movie.”
