One bright spot of the Alito hearings was that Biden managed to even exceed his own high standard for Excellence In Ridiculous Buffoonery that he became the much-deserved target of most of the hearing related jokes for the week. Perhaps it was bad enough to spare us the annoying humiliation of his presidential primary camapign. I gather Biden has no idea what he's in for with that one. The minute he starts to campaign seriously all his Sunday chat show anchor pals will run him through the meat grinder. Odd he's not aware of that.
