that didn't stop a whole lotta DUers from reacting to her report as if they were a bunch of rabid republicans out for blood.

This has been a disgusting display of hypocrisy. DUer Codeine was right: no one here had any problem seeing what was wrong with Bush rubbing Merkel's shoulders. But when Biden did that and lots more, people here savaged the person on the receiving end of it.

No, what Biden did was not the end of the world. It should not disqualify him. It WAS inappropriate and grossly entitled. Whether you like the guy who did it (which I do) or not. And the person who reported it was not the one in the wrong.


If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
