HuffPost reporter Elise Foley.

The media is already gunning for Biden 

“Good bet that Biden wants to our be president, just isn’t up for running for president. Nothing wrong with that.” — Adam Nagourney, NYT.

“Looks like Joe Biden’s appearance on Colbert tonight is going to be extraordinary.” — Politico‘s Roger Simon.

“Joe Biden on Stephen Colbert was Joe Biden at his best.” — WaPo‘s Chris Cillizza. Also this: “The amazing honesty of Joe Biden.”

“Just saw the transcript of Biden on Colbert and wow — it’s hard not to cry reading it, let alone watching tonight.” — Benjy Sarlin, MSNBC.

“Emotional Biden on Beau: ‘I was a hell of a success. My son was better than me.’ No one has to tell this guy about authenticity.” — FNC’s Howard Kurtz.

“@VP Biden is a good, decent man. I just don’t get the premise that he’d somehow run untouched by the right. Guaranteed they will slam him.” — Peter Daou, former advisor to Hillary Clinton and John Kerry.

Something we really must ask ourselves…

“Has anyone from The Bachelor ever turned the attention into lasting fame? Like have any of them crossed over & become actors or whatever? They aren’t paid very much to go on the Bachelor, presumably. I don’t understand why they do it. It’s just for like 15 minutes in People?” — Mother JonesBen Dreyfuss.
