Joe Biden’s natural tendency toward loquaciousness (loquacity?) was nurtured to an unhealthy degree during his four decades in the Senate, where speaking directly and crisply was seen as borderline disrespectful to the institution's pride as the “world’s greatest deliberative body.” By rule, the committee chairman is the only one not bound by time constraints on their remarks, and spinning endless yarns with a gavel in one hand and a tumbler in the other was just how it was done. Biden was never much for the bottle, making his proclivity for verbosity that much more impressive.
It’s hard to believe he’ll be President in another month. You used the term loquaciousness. Too bad he didn’t use that skill when Anita Hill was center stage in ‘91 defending her against the outrageous attacks she had to endure. I always thought that issue would prevent him from any WH office. I was shocked in 2016 when chosen as a VP for Obama. What was he thinking? How about an apology to Anita...still hasn’t happened. And it’s Bernie who makes pundits skin crawl on MSNBC.
I'm so glad that you are doing what you are doing. I haven't yet, but I am going to watch the looonger version. I've read a bunch of commentary that there is something wrong about "leaking" this private meeting, but I am all for it; democracy dies in darkness. Except for the fact that we would all die of boredom, I think we should all be granted access to all governmental deliberations. Thank you.
On another note, is there some way you could list you previous posts in order of most recent to oldest? I would find it easier to get to posts that I missed.
