Joe Biden Said to Be Taking New Look at Presidential Run

72. It used to be a nothing job--until Joe.

But Biden, himself a former career Senator and one of the experts of procedure and rules in the Senate, has redefined the position to a powerful one of organization, scheduling, and management of business so that an asshole loudmouth teabagger Senator no longer has the opportunity to disrupt Senate business.

If Joe sees that schmuck coming--and he always does--the schedule changes and the window for filibuster or other disruption closes before it ever opened. Unless the guy is a moron guaranteed to harm himself more than anyone else (ahem, how's Rand Paul doing after his little filibuster debacle?), then he gets his moment in the sun.

Joes position and power exists above the head count in the Senate, so it matters less that the criminals control it right now. Anything you have left is thanks in part to the President of the Senate.
