Biden's Rough Week

Professor Bainbridge has a bit on Biden's troubled week with the Alito hearings. He quotes Richard Cohen with this.

The only thing standing between Joe Biden and the presidency is his mouth. That, though, is no small matter. It is a Himalayan barrier, a Sahara of a handicap, a summer's day in Death Valley, a winter's night at the pole (either one) -- an endless list of metaphors intended to show you both the immensity of the problem and to illustrate it with the op-ed version of excess. This, alas, is Joe Biden.

Yikes.

He also quotes Peggy Noonan and tries to feel sympathy for Biden.

Tries.
