Know that Politico piece claiming that Biden himself was the source for that really icky Maureen Dowd column the other day claiming that his dying son's Beau's last wish was for Daddy to show what a manly man he was and crush that evil bitch Hillary?
Welpers, here's what the Biden campaign told NBC about it:
Vice President Joe Biden's team is pushing back on a POLITICO report that Biden himself, while eyeing a presidential bid, leaked an account of his dying son's wish that he seek the Democratic nomination.
"The bottom line on the POLITICO story is that it is categorically false and the characterization is offensive," said a spokesperson for Biden.
The vice president's office is neither confirming nor denying that a conversation took place between New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd and the vice president, but sources say the paper is flatly wrong to suggest that Biden intended the leak to be a trial balloon for his candidacy.
Well, well.
Talk amongst yerselves. I'm verklempt.
