@JanieM: My interpretation of the blow-hard in the video is that he knows it has already gone to seed and his use of the word “planted” meant that someone had put that dandelion there specifically so that Joe Biden could make his big romantic gesture.
Full disclosure: Joe picking the dandelion as a romantic gesture left me close to virtually rolling my eyes, and if I am reading body language I suspect Jill’s reaction was the same.
Still, geez, what the fuck is wrong with these people that they are still talking about a dandelion Joe picked, several days later. On the other hand, maybe it was a plant!
