Speaking of Biden...

Was anyone actually talking about Joe Biden? No, not really. But I read Elizabeth Edwards's piece in the Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/27/opinion/27
edwards.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin), and I started to get curious as to what Biden was doing right now. I guess you could call me a Biden fangirl... I like to call myself a supporter, but if you called me a fangirl, I wouldn't get pissed. So I did a tiny bit of digging on Youtube, and look what I found!

It's a little old, but if you blow off a little of the dust, it plays just fine. It's Biden making sense as usual, and only Olbermann covering it (as usual). It's nice to see that someone's starting to hit McCain where he needs to be hit, and the honorable Delaware senator is just the person to do that. I've been listening to his policy proposals ever since last year, and I love almost every word he has to say (Am I a hawk? A little bit, so just know that in advance before going off). This is a guy who made sense when no one else was, and eventually, the frontrunners started piggybacking on his ideas - most of them eventually agreed that soft partition in Iraq may be inevitable, for example.

Oh, one more thing. He gives a reason for not having announced yet, although it depresses me. Biden, the next POTUS (Obama) needs you! You must do your duty for your country become his Secretary of State!

Alright, personal opinion, I think he likes Hillary's ideas a little bit better, and that's why he hasn't endorsed, maybe along with the reason he gives. -.- Depressing, but maybe there's a way to change his mind on both counts.

...Yeah, in case you haven't guessed, I'm really bored. Night, everyone!

Biden as Secretary of State. Beautiful. We should have a Fantasy Cabinet League here on TPM.

Patrick FItzgerald as AG, or FBI Dir?

Two things:

1. A "Fantasy Cabinet" post would be great. You should go ahead and do it.

2. This is a great video. If it gets lost in the flurry, I'd fix the HTML and repost it (direct links are always nice too). Thanks for sharing it.
