Joan Walsh just lets it fly re. Maureen Dowd:

"@joanwalsh: I'm bored and uninspired. Think I'll use the Biden family tragedy to slam Hillary again. Wait: somebody already did that?" via Twitter

(On edit, added note, in case clariification needed: Joan Walsh's Tweet is sarcasm. She is shaming Maureen Dowd for Maureen's column using the Biden family tragedy to, as is Maureen's habit, malign Hillary. Joan Walsh is a liberal, a Salon Editor, and an MSNBC contributor.

This post was posted in the Hillary Group.)

Maureen Dowd reports that the death of Joe Biden’s son has prompted the vice president to consider a run for the White House.

“Beau was losing his nouns and the right side of his face was partially paralyzed. But he had a mission: He tried to make his father promise to run, arguing that the White House should not revert to the Clintons and that the country would be better off with Biden values.”

Maureen Dowd would pay for this transgression on the very personal Biden family tragedy.

Where she got this story, if even true, is unethically opportunistic at best.

When Biden comes out, it will be very interesting when he comments on this Dowd piece.

To me it would be a sympathy vote. I actually like Biden a lot and if Hillary was not running-He would get my vote in the primary. The media--including msnbc is pushing Biden to run.
