NOW I Remember...

...why I don't like Joe Biden. Despite my tepid praise for him a bit earlier, I find him an indefatiguable publicity hound, and, if even half of this Robert Novak column is true (and it has that ring), Biden has no qualms about endangering the diplomatic stance of the U.S. to benefit a contributer. I said before that Biden has virtually no chance at getting the Democratic nomination, and I'm sticking to it; Novak's article will provide useful ammunition to his opponents should his campaign get past the speculative phase (I predict it won't).
