    What a fucked up headline. Was he there? No. Was it in DC? No. Perhaps he’s giving a speech nearb- No.

    Could the governor be quote-appalled-unquote? Apparently not. Could the mayor be quote-appalled-unquote? The police chief, the rabbis, or possibly anyone at all on god’s green fucking earth be quote-appalled-unquote except Joe Biden for this headline?

    AP sez: “No. We’re attaching Joe to this because we can, and any further inference your own mind declares is not our responsibility. Just because we’re hoping to juice the horserace a little, for the roughly $50 million worth of clicks we want. Uh, don’t quote-unquote us on that.”
