Gaffey Joe For Prez In 2016?
Here we have a pretty normal news analysis of Joe Biden: he's described as frank but endearing, a clown but a statesman, maybe less visible than other Obama staffers but nonetheless a valued member of the team, etc etc... SNOOZE. But! "Aides said he might go for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016. He would be 74 upon taking office, but his staff insists that's not too old." Well, shucks! As long as hispaid employeesgive him the (anonymous) go-ahead, then everything should be fine. Remember how America just elected the 72-year-old John McCain its oldest president ever? Exactly.
