You don’t? Here:
When I read any News Journal article, like this one, over the past few weeks concerning speculation over Biden’s replacement, each article always contains two assumptions that I find maddening: 1) that Biden could have been appointed to fill his father’s Senate seat, and 2) that no one knows who will run for the Senate seat in 2 years if a placeholder is appointed. It was based on these assumptions that the news of Beau Biden refusing an appointments to the Senate was news in the first place. When I read his statement, I said, “well duh.”
Well read this editorial from the highly intelligent savants on the News Journal Editorial Board:
It was a surprising, but logical, announcement by Gov. Ruth Ann Minner who obviously took Sen. Biden’s desire in consideration.
I have to stop there. “Took Biden’s desire in consideration?” Hahahahahaha. She followed orders.
Mr. Kaufman is an excellent choice who can easily slip into the title of U.S. senator with little tutoring or orientation. And he’s the perfect place holder for whomever runs in the 2010 General Election for the remaining four years of the Biden term. Mr. Kaufman said he does not intend to run for the office.
Like Angelo Cataldi using a bullhorn to call out Joe Banner and Jeffrey Lurie on WIP, I need one to call out the illustrious Editorial Board. STOP THE BULLSHIT. STOP THE PRETENSE. Treat your readers like they have IQs higher than Sarah Palin. Educate them as to the political realities of this state. It is one thing to keep such informed speculation out of actual news stories, but this is an editorial. It is your opinion. Do you mean to tell me that it is your opinion that no one knows who will run in 2 years??? If that is truly the case, then you all are idiots.
