text: Forget being president. The White House Correspondents' Dinner was taken over by not one but two vice presidents - although one was fictional.
In a video Vice President Joe Biden took out Selina Meyer, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, for a night on the town. As Selina Meyer, the title character from the HBO show "Veep," Louis-Dreyfus got to run around D.C. as if she owned the place, bumping into Nancy Pelosi and John Boehner along the way.
The two veeps end up breaking into the West Wing, getting caught by Michelle Obama eating ice cream and finishing the night by getting matching tattoos that read "45" - as in the number for the next president.
All in all, it’s not a bad way to spend time as the vice president.

He is not the only athlete with his eyes set on a piece of the prize, with retired boxer Oscar De La Hoya also interested in part ownership of the Clippers, while others in the film, music and tech industries have also been named potential purchasers.
