The punditry consensus says Joe Must Go, but if you check the comments at liberal web sites it seems a lot of their readers aren’t sold on the idea. You can’t expect someone in mental decline to recognize the severity of their own condition, and Joe has turned characteristically combative in response to the calls for him to step aside. If, as El Som says, his departure is inevitable, we don’t want him angry about it. That would make it look like Democrats are in disarray.
Mötley Crüe addressed just such a situation with this track from their 1989 album, “Dr. Feelgood.” As the fourth single from the album, their only studio LP to reach No. 1 on Billboard’s album chart, “Don’t Go Away Mad” reached No. 19 in 1990.
