Ninety Seven: Anybody Seen Biden?

Where's Joe? I suspect at least two things have happened. First, there is probably a fair amount of mutual contempt between Biden and all of the BO minions. The BO crowd sees JB as a political hack/has been. And Joe see the BO people as idiots and starry-eyed neophytes. Those kinds of feels don't engender good working relationships.

Second, JB is 67 years old, and spent the last 36 years or so lining his pockets in the Senate. He has a pretty cushy lifestyle now. He has people to wait on his every whim and worship him. My guess is he's pretty content to live out his political days being a kind of elder statesman (or at least playing one), and continuing his life of high class welfare. After all, who the hell would ever hire him for a real job?
