The entire Hunter fiasco would not have ever come to light if Joe's ego hadn't gotten the better of him. Joe's the accidental president. All the graft and bribery conducted while he was VP and immediately thereafter was his big greedy nest egg. His cash stash to secure his retirement as a 50-year pol who had risen to the second highest office in the land. Then as Joe might have said, "Well, son-of-a-bitch I got elected POTUS." So, rather than quietly riding off into the sunset, he stepped into the brightest spotlight in the world. And suddenly we could see his warts. The biggest being his own son.

A more humble and self-aware Joe would be sitting on the sands of Rehobeth Beach and making the occasional $50,000 speech. Hubris can be a cruel mistress.

Joe had a secure retirement just from his time in the senate. Many times people could see his demeanor as he interviewed Clarence Thomas! He was a pompous ass. Nothing has changed!

After seeing Thomas' documentary, I have nothing but respect for him!

This is the same news media that filleted Sarah Palin and cooked her on an open pit barbecue because her daughter got pregnant out of wedlock. Never forget that.

I’ve always thought he started the grifting and selling of America because his career was over. Then out of nowhere the DNC realized (or Obama) that he would be the perfect stooge.
