Delaware Joe is going to work less as VP? This candidate who had "vastly superior" executive experience compared to Sarah Palin? The candidate who was steeped in years of foreign policy experience and would be able to step in as President without missing a beat? The candidate who added "gravitas" to the Dem ticked? That Joe, huh? Good, glad we all have that straight now. Really? Delaware Joe is going to work less as VP? This candidate who had “vastly superior” executive experience compared to Sarah Palin?

When you are a second banana to a guy whose idea of doing his work is voting "present", do you really have any other choice? Never a good idea to upstage your boss.

More proof that Joe is not the sharpest tack in the shed. What is it about politics that it seems to bring the slime to the top? If he is going to work less, then we should pay him less.

Well thank the Lord for small miracles." Any chance of modifying the constitution to allow for 435 co-vice presidents? “Biden is going to work less?

I usually look askance at all the conspiracy-theorizing about Cheney pulling the wool over Bush's eyes on foreign policy concerns, but this has to make you wonder. What possible reason could there be for Cheney to know things Bush doesn't? Wow, Cheney had his own intelligence briefings, separate from the President’s?
