I wish that the holier-than-thou crowd on the other side would have half as much dignity and grace as our Joe does!

VP Biden is so much more reflective and emotionally honest when he speaks of his family & faith then any of theirs ever could be.

what he feels and devote himself to himself and his loved ones, nothing else. Really, he is strongly hinting that this is what he needs to do and not run. It was all just heartbreaking.

(47,410 posts)7. Excellent interview
Stephen Colbert showed extraordinary respect and empathy. I cried throughout most of it of course. Joe has that effect on me.
