Tweet of the Day: Who’s that filthy old lecher hanging on Ash Carter’s wife at his swearing-in?

Wait a second, that’s no lecher. That’s (Dr.) Jill Biden’s husband, Vice President of these United States, and sponsor (h/t Joel Pollak) of the Violence Against Women Act. (I might have added to the description that he is one heartbeat away from the presidency but that post has hardly been a citadel of decorum and dignity, especially ever since the president became the proud owner of a selfie stick.)

Here is the tweet of the stage at the swearing-in ceremony of the next Secretary of Defense.

So inexplicably egregious was Biden’s behavior that even the Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza felt impelled to comment:

OH. MY. GOD. RT @jbendery: Biden hanging onto Ashton Carter’s wife (and whispering things) at Carter’s swearing-in…

Maybe Biden should claim, as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg did recently for her own dereliction, that he was not 100% sober.
