Even though Joe Biden is in the midst of a long-overdue respectfest—the recent 9,300-word Atlantic opus declaring him "indispensable," the eighty or so floundering Democratic candidates who called Joe before O to come stump for them—he's still largely ignored by the press. Until he puts his foot in his mouth. (At the signing ceremony for the health care bill: "Mr. President, this is a big fucking deal"—well, it was!)

My Comment: Being the next in line to the Presidency .... for some reason I do not feel comfortable after reading this interview. Then again .... I should not expect anything special.
