In a one-on-one interview with Anderson Cooper regarding the recently imposed no-fly zone over Libya, Vice President Joe Biden seemed at a loss for words. To viewers of Cooper’s show, AC 360, the interview seemed to be going just fine until Biden stopped looking around the set and locked eyes with Cooper.

“I don’t know what came over me,” Biden recounts of the interview. “His eyes are just so damn blue.”

According to AC 360 producer David Doss, the vice president began engaging in typical political “jibber-jabber” regarding the civil war in the African country early in the show. Doss said that all was well up until the moment Biden met the CNN reporter’s gaze. The rest of the interview was noticeably awkward. Biden appeared to be stumbling with his words like a little schoolboy approaching the cute school nurse.

“He is a beautiful, beautiful man. If you don’t think so you are incredibly mistaken,” said Biden. “I mean, I’m not gay, but if there were one guy I’d go for, well, it’d probably be him.”

The sexual tension was impossible to miss on Biden’s face. The the vice president’s adoring gaze let everyone know he was probably imagining himself running towards a shirtless Anderson Cooper in slow motion on a sunny beach in Barbados.

“What’s a little man crush? That’s not weird,” Biden said, laughing to himself.

Near the end of the interview an advisor to the vice president leaned in and whispered something into his ear. Biden became visibly alarmed.

“Wait, he’s gay? That’s weird.”
