Biden (pictured) is like a politician packaged in shrink-wrap. If they don’t keep a tight grip on his lip, there is no guarantee what the glib ‘teddy bear from Delaware’ might say.
While his windy, off-point pontification was the stuff of legend among his Senate colleagues, Biden is now leashed to a teleprompter even when he is talking in a high school gym that is three-quarters empty.
He seldom speaks to large crowds. That way his speaking gaffes will be heard by only a few.
He looks more like a deer caught in headlights than his usual rambling self.
The exposure hound who in recent years appeared more often than any other guest on the Sunday talk shows is a virtual stranger to the small band of reporters on his plane.
