statement saying O'Malley is trashing Biden:

"I know Vice President Biden very well. I have a tremendous amount of affection and respect for him," the Democratic presidential candidate, 52, said during an appearance on ABC's "The View."

"If he were to get into this race, he'd certainly would bring a lot of experience and that perspective, but I think his generation is already overly represented in our party in this field," O'Malley added.

so I posted about the 'Biden' remark. Decided to take our attention where I/we could find it.

But, the media just sneered at both interviews. The media's hatred of him is downright bizarre.
