It’s probable that the authors of Joe Biden’s farewell op-ed published this week in the American Prospect designed it for the exclusive consumption of the American Left. No one else would believe the fantastical propositions in the piece or the questionable assumptions that contribute to Biden’s claims of managerial competence.
If the president is once again leaning on progressives to salvage a legacy he has badly fumbled, it’s an odd strategy. It makes sense only if we assume, as we probably should, that the Obama-Biden intellectual project is exhausted, and that what we’re observing is only the braindead “Lazarus sign” reflex emanating from this presidency’s corpse.
