I used to get a kick out of Joe Biden. He's smart, funny, and even if he looks like a guy they'd cast to be president, there's nothing generic about him.

And no doubt, his vote in favor of the AUMF was much better than Hillary's.

The good news is that my position apparently makes me an "elite"!

Call me crazy (or just plain realistic), but I'm reluctant to take our dear president's word as to his actual motive(s) for such a strange method of vetoing the bill.

There just might be more to it. Read below the fold...

At this point, I'm pretty realistic about the strategy of the Sternly Worded Letter. But Joe Biden gets off a good one here, writing to Fred Fielding: Read below the fold...

Perhaps it's hard for Hillary and Barack to get hold of their expensive Beltway consultants on a Friday afternoon. Or maybe the consultant's scarfing a cocktail wienie, so they can't speak clearly.

Oh wait, wasn’t that supposed to be the rap on Bill Clinton? George Stephanopoulos was supposed to be the true liberal believer, the progressive conscience of the administration, the last honest kid, or so he conjured himself in his book about his Clinton years. Read below the fold...

It’s not every day that we see a Democratic Senator from the Northeast pandering to Southern Republicans by associating himself sympathetically with the Confederate cause during the Civil War – so isn’t it newsworthy when that actually happens? ...
