The Joe Bidenest of all the Joe Bidens

Richard A. Rail  "An article in the New Yorker appears to go to extreme pains to explain why Barack Obama hasn't endorsed Joe Biden yet.  Tradition.  Respect for the other candidates.  Waiting a bit longer to see what happens.

"The real reason, which will go unsaid, is that Obama doesn't want Biden popping off with some stupid comment that will embarrass not only Obama, but all of Demworld.  That sort of thing was manageable back in the halcyon days when Barack was in the saddle and thinking he was soaking up all the attention so that nobody would even notice old Joe.  Joe wasn't interesting then, and he's not interesting now, the thinking went, but now there's nobody running interference.
. . . 
"Back to old Joe.  He's been lying low recently to get a feel for which way the winds are blowing.  For a while there, they were blowing chaotically for the Left, with Joe saying something stupid and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez saying something impossible and Nancy saying something ludicrous and Tlaib saying something racist and Maxine saying something all tough guy and, and, and...  It's not easy playing elder statesman when you're surrounded by nincompoops whose nincompoopery might rub off on you.  No wonder Barack's keeping quiet.
"Joe at least used to be the Joe Bidenest of all the Joe Bidens.  Now he's got fierce competition for that."

From the Babylon Bee: Joe Biden Sneaks Up Behind Nation's Women To Whisper In Their Ears How He's Going To Be More Respectful


. . . "Other women have come forward to share their stories of getting apologized at, too. “I was standing in line to buy a latte,” said Maria Aguilar, a nurse, “and then Biden was just on me, telling me he will try harder in the future to treat women appropriately. And I didn’t know what to do; it was very heartfelt.”
"When asked why Biden is sneaking up behind women to apologize for his behavior, he explained that if women see him coming, they tend to run away."
