Joe Biden: JB: I’m prepared to do that. To the best of my knowledge, there’s been no complaints made against me in terms of my Senate career, in terms of my office. Look, this is an open book. There’s nothing for me to hide. Nothing at all.
This is literally the Gary Hart Play: Investigate me!
He (Gary Hart) accomplished the stunning feat of political self-destruction in only twenty-six days. Why would any man in his right mind defy a New York Times reporter who asked about his alleged womanizing to “put a tail on me,” then cancel his weekend campaign appearances and arrange a tryst at his Washington town house with a Miami party girl? What demon was loose in the fifty-year-old front-runner of the Democratic Party, who lurched across the chartered yacht Monkey Business, drink in hand, and boasted to a model friend of Donna Rice’s that this was her big chance to party with the next president of the United States?
Pic: Not his wife.
Result of Pic: End of career.
Monkey Business indeed.
