Biden?
Is the plane already on its way? Steve Clemons of the New America Foundation and the Washington Note reports that a key Biden staffer has cut short his family vacation in Hawaii to return to D.C.:
Biden has a few people he’s had around forever and some new additions to his insider crowd. Three of the best — though there are more I won’t mention — are Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chief of Staff Antony Blinken, Senate Foreign Relations General Counsel Brian McKeon, and Senate Office Chief of Staff and former Biden presidential campaign director Luis Navarro.
Working Mother magazine — the journal of record for juggling moms — just commended Joe Biden and his staff with its “Best of Congress Award”. And along with Biden’s “family friendly” disposition with his office staff, he said “get out of here” to Foreign Relations Committee Chief of Staff Tony Blinken who went off to Hawaii to vacation with his family.
Blinken enjoyed the surf and sun for about two days — and then guess what, he’s back in D.C. I know that he would not be thrilled by my reporting this.
And some in the Foreign Relations Committee office in the Senate have said that I should not read anything in to his being back in Washington.
Right. . .
Something is up — and it’s very good.

And I do get the feeling he’s going to splash right into
coverage of the Olympics... arrogant cretin that he is.
