Did Josh Earnest Just Cold-Shoulder Hillary Clinton for Joe Biden?

Speaking of politically adept responses, did press secretary Josh Earnest, just say to a room full of political wonks that Joe Biden was the smartest decision Barack Obama ever made in politics?

“The president has indicated that his view that the decision that he made, I guess 7 years ago now, to add Joe Biden to the ticket as his running mate was the smartest decision that he has ever made in politics. And I think that should give you some sense into the president’s view into Vice President’s aptitude for the top job. …”

Yep, sure looks like it. And in the process it looks like he gave Hillary Clinton a not-so-gentle nudge over the edge.

Everybody wave Buh-bye, Hillary…

I like to think of Josh Earnest as Obama’s Dana Perino, but surely he cleared his remarks with the genius who thought he was the smartest possible choice for press secretary.

Here are some of Joe Biden’s high-aptitude moments since becoming the smartest choice Barack Obama ever made in politics.

And here Joe puts his people skills into high gear…
