As if…

…there weren't enough reasons to declare his candidacy DOA, there's this one...

"When asked about his potential competitors, Biden said he would like nothing better than to see his Senate colleague John McCain of Arizona get into the 2008 race, either as his Republican opponent or -- even better -- his running mate."

Some will remember the furor over rumors, denied by both camps, that that Kerry fella had discussed the Veep role with McCain, who was a personal friend. That was before McCain debased himself by publicly demonstrating his submission to the Alpha-R, during the '04 campaign and subsequently.

On the other hand, Joe Biden proves to my satisfaction that McCain isn't the biggest political whore in Washington.

Joe's just said that Republican conservatives can have the vice presidency on a Democratic ticket just for the asking.

Good night, Joe.
