i want to give your office the respect that it deserves. how much is that? vice president joe biden s first interview since the death of his son bo was a remarkable piece of television because it was so much more than what we are used to seeing when a politician sits down with a comedian. joe biden s conversation was with honest, tend and profoundly moving. it began with colbert trying to shed like on biden s likability factor. everybody likes joe biden, right? i ll tell you why i think that is. i think it s because when we see you, we think that we re actually seeing the real joe biden. you are not a politician that created some sort of facade to get something out of us or triangulate their political position or emotional state to try to make us feel a certain way. we see the real you. how did you maintain your soul in a city that is full of people trying to lie to us in subtle ways. what always confuses me about
national television interview for two months before that. hillary clinton would have been better served if she did more press. the more you do it, the better you get. one thing that jeb bush is doing is out there every day answering questions trying to become a better candidate. it would have helped her. it hasn t helped jeb. his poll numbers have gone down. it s a good thing to do if you re a candidate and she can just get over some of her defensiveness with the press which is one of the other things that is hurting her. did hillary who refused to apologize and sorry about confusion about the e-mail, did anything to change the media narrative on this? no. she just reinforced i m sorry if other people were confused. it s just patronizing and plays into the likability factor. that s one of her big problems. i don t think there will be a smoking gun that comes out of the e-mail scandal but she s been on defense for months now. it s reinforcing her negatives that she is secretiv
