Jonathan! Oh Jonathan! Paging Jonathan Chait! To paraphrase a certain wide stance senator, you've been a bad boy, a naughty boy. In fact, you're probably even a nasty, bad, naughty boy. You see, you've written a long smear of Sarah Palin in the New Republic where you are The senior editor and yet a certain name was missing in your attack. What was that name? Why, Joe Biden. And why is Chait so reluctant to so much as mention Biden nowadays except in passing? Simple. When it looked like Biden had not a chance in the world of ever being nominated for president, Chait felt free to write what he really thought of the verbose senator last year (emphasis mine):
...Biden’s charming cluelessness was on display in a recent ABC news interview. The famously verbose senator was asked to state in 25 words or less why Democrats should nominate him. His response was 45 words. I suppose that, by Biden’s standards, coming in at just under twice his allotted length counts as a victory of sorts.
Chait was only getting started on the subject of Biden as you can see:

I wonder how Chait will explain how Biden, in his opinion a disaster as a presidential candidate is now somehow okay as a vice-presidential candidate.

Incredibly damaging info on Biden is out there and if Biden were an “R”, the MSM would have already headlined it.

Remember the old 1960 movie Love Story- “love is never having to say you are sorry”? Well being a Democrat waterboy means “never having to account for anything you do or say”. That was “yesterday” and liberals never have to account for the past. No one in MSM will ask him to explain.
