Politics Joe Biden's Unimpressive Replacement...
Posted by Paul Constant on Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 1:25 PM
...as the newest Senator from Delaware is longtime Joe Biden aide Edward "Ted" Kaufman. People speculated that it would be Joe Biden's son, "Banana Fana" Beau Biden, but Beau previously announced he would not take the seat if it was offered to him, on account of as he wanted to fulfill his tour of duty in Iraq as a member of the National Guard.
I wonder if all this moving on up is going to cause a Democratic Party Brain Drain on the state levels.
UPDATE: And before anyone says it, I know Kaufman is warming the seat for Beau to ride triumphantly in in 2010 and claim it for the family, but I don't know if Beau Biden is going to be the future of the Democratic Party, either.

No, it won't, it will give more opportunities to feature new/progressive up-and-comers
Leave this stuff to Eli.

@1 for the win.
Seriously, part of the problem has been finding people with government experience who are also competent after the razing of the federal government by the incompetent Red Bushies.
This will create a new group of experienced people, and give those champing at the bit a chance to succeed at the lower levels.

Actually you're too late already as this was reported by me 7-10 days ago.
The new politics = family dynasty building. Just like the old politics.
What's next from Slog the "news" that the Biden kid was a lobbyist for MBNA?

I'm not sure whether I liked "on account of as" or "banana fana beau biden" best.
Constant, you're a constant delight. Can you really be as good-natured as you seem?

that joke was stolen from the Daily Show and it remains as funny in replication as it was in its original state.

I cringe every time I hear of another Democratic governor being considered for Obama's cabinet. We need those gov's to stay where they're at. Keep the blue states blue.

"Aw, Beauie, I love ya". For some reason I can't get the way he said that out of my head. Those who know what I'm talking about know what I'm talking about.
