Yes, that laughter struck me as well, and it looked like Joe was surprised by the laugh. Like, Et tu, Brute? There he was to receive the accolades, and it was just another of the thousand cuts disguised as "Joe's a patriot" since he dropped (or more accurately, pushed) out of the race.
I've never thought much of him as a politician, his crowning achievements IMO are; 1. With the help of Ted Kennedy turning the noun Bork into a verb, and thereby tainting the Judicial nominee process, and 2. generally reading the political winds and never pissing directly into them.
Mr. Biden leaves the stage as a sad figure and competing with Mr. Carter for the worst administration of my lifetime. At least Mr. Carter had conviction of his beliefs, I'm not sure what Mr. Biden believes at this point. I'm not sure he does either.
Say what you will about Jimmy Carter. My thoughts are he was a terrible president. However he was a great human being. Joe Biden is corrupt , evil , hateful and ignorant. The man does not have one redeeming attribute. He represents the worst of us . The fact that he became president of the United States tells you all you need to know about our political system.

We're saying the same thing, you used more words to do it.
Well said!
