   In all my years working for Senator Biden, I never once witnessed, or heard of, or received, any reports of inappropriate conduct, period -- not from Ms. Reade, not from anyone. I have absolutely no knowledge or memory of Ms. Reade's accounting of events, which would have left a searing impression on me as a woman professional, and as a manager, these clearly false allegations are in complete contradiction to both the inner workings of our Senate office and to the man I know and worked so closely with for almost two decades.

He's just very like on the mark, always hits his mark, always gets his tricks right, does it in one take, but...(he) isn't very sociable. He's a bit of a diva. He really doesn't want to socialize with me between takes which I was quite upset about.
