Thatโs the latest โhot rumorโ making the the rounds in Washington, according to U.S. Newsโ Paul Bedard. Of course, the โhotnessโ of this rumor has to be taken with an enormous grain of salt ย maybe the biggest grain of salt youโve ever seen, the kind that could be a roadside attraction in northern Pennsylvania ย as Hillary is, at any given time, rumored to be eyeing some job other than the one she currently holds. The logic behind the latest scuttlebutt is that Biden would be โtoo oldโ to run for president in 2012 (heโd be 70 by the time he took office; Hillary would be 65), and, as weโve noted, Hillaryโs denials about wanting to run for president again are less than airtight. Plus, sheโd likely be a bigger boost to President Obama than Joe Biden, since sheโs now incredibly popular ย and Lord knows he might need a boost. Not to mention, the transition should be easy, since Hillary has already begun to embrace Bidenโs ceremonial role as the master ofย gaffes.
