They can't seem to help themselves by saying how old Biden would be at the end of his second term. He's 80, but the number I hear thrown around the most is 86. They've basically already aged him by six years.

Biden was recently in Ireland, where he attended many, many events and made a few speeches and was treated like, and acted like, a rock star. The US coverage of that visit and his reception was sparse at best. Even the BBC, not the most pro US or pro Irish news source, did better than CNN or MSNBC.
