What right does this punk have to use "Kiddo" to refer to Dr. Biden? My ears are steaming and my hands are clenching. I'm so unimpressed with this little jerk. Who does he think he is? The Right just keeps telling us who they are and I for one believe them.

You should hope to be as professional, talented, and honored as Dr. Biden. On every single level she is head and shoulders above you.

"Kiddo"? What a stupid little twerp.
