The nation’s political media seems not to be thrilled with Barack Obama’s selection of Joe Biden as his running mate, but they are not angry, either. Joe Biden brings foreign policy heft to the Obama ticket. Joe Biden is a seasoned Washington politician, with a penchant for talk. He’s stated that south east Asians living in Delaware can be found in the local Dunkin’ Donuts. He’s called Delaware a “slave state.” He’s referred to Obama as a “clean and articulate” black guy.

And on and on and on.

Is the media going to cover this?

NPR offers us Joe Biden: From Stutter To Power. That’s nice enough. The New York Times gushes over A Senate Stalwart Who Bounced Back.

My favorite is Neil Kinnock welcomes Joe Biden nomination. (Kinnock is the British politician whom Biden plagiarized in 1988.)
