Biden uses his son’s death for politics

Joe Biden PointingJust when you thought VP Joe Biden, he of the wacky quip and innocence, was just another daft hairplugged wonk — think again.

From Politico.com:

Exclusive: Biden himself leaked word of his son’s dying wish

by Edward-Isaac Dovere

The vice president is mourning. He’s also calculating.

Joe Biden has been making his 2016 deliberations all about his late son since August.

Aug. 1, to be exact — the day renowned Hillary Clinton-critic Maureen Dowd published a column that marked a turning point in the presidential speculation.

According to multiple sources, it was Biden himself who talked to her, painting a tragic portrait of a dying son, Beau’s face partially paralyzed, sitting his father down and trying to make him promise to run for president because “the White House should not revert to the Clintons and that the country would be better off with Biden values.”

It was no coincidence that the preliminary pieces around a prospective campaign started moving right after that column. People read Dowd and started reaching out, those around the vice president would say by way of defensive explanation. He was just answering the phone and listening.

But in truth, Biden had effectively placed an ad in The New York Times, asking them to call.

In truth, Biden has left his own political breadcrumbs all about and in such a fashion as to take political advantage of the death of his son Beau.

What a great field for the Demorats.  An arrogant, doddering serial liar, an avowed Socialist and a craven political dog.

Good times.
