Biden’s Very Serious Press People

Joe Biden cracks me up. In the midst of explaining that he doesn’t need to raise any money to win in Iowa and New Hampshire, he said the following.

Q: And if you don’t, all the money in the world wouldn’t have saved you?

Biden: I think that’s true. I really do. I think this is more about two things. Very serious press people … reaching a generic consensus that Biden — not that he should or shouldn’t be president — but that Biden is qualified to be president. He’s the real deal, he’s qualified.

Presumably, the ‘very serious press people’ are Joe Klein, Richard Cohen, Tom Friedman, and David Broder. And they’ll carry Biden over the top because bloggers don’t own the Democratic Party.

Biden: But I think — and this is naive maybe — I have confidence that the American people will put this in perspective. Like when one of the bloggers said, “We’re going to take back the Democratic Party.”

They don’t own the Democratic Party. What are they talking about?

Heh. What is he talking about? Very serious press people…LOL.
