Yeah. Tyler Kennedy.

There is a keen Kennedy-like vigor to Joe Biden that overwhelms any room. As was once said of Theodore Roosevelt, he, too, wants to be the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral. Unlike President Obama, who speaks in interviews with Hemingway-esque sparseness, Biden rambles like Thomas Wolfe, painting a robust picture of an ever-changing America where coal miners will soon be working in clean-tech jobs, gun-safety laws will be tougher and China will be reined in by the White House from poisoning the planet with megatons of choking pollutants.
Never before have a president and vice president been as close personally and professionally as Barack Obama and Joe Biden – just think about the past 80 years.

God luv ya, man, aren’t you supposed to put a barf alert on an article like this?
????Kennedy like???? Kennedy had half a brain, Biden is dumber than a box of rocks.
Hard to get past that.
(I'll tell you that I didn't.)
A tabloid fellatio for Joe.
Yeah. Tyler Kennedy.
Douglas Brinkley has a long record of hagiographic treatments of Democratic politicians, but this takes his sycophancy to a new level. Joe Biden?
Famously known by the Washington press corps as "The Dumbest Man In The Senate" -- up until the moment he was named Obama's VP candidate.
Now, after five years as second banana, he's an intellectual heavyweight...???
This is beyond a (Barf Alert)
Are they preparing their readers for next year’s president?
David Brinkley is saddened at his son’s decision to hide naked ideology behind a veneer of academia.
But Joe Biden and Rolling Stone are made for each other. Both should be irrelevant anachronisms spouting cliches but in the Bizarro world of DC and the East Coast they are considered major players.
