First, they lost the comedians. They allowed the humor to suffer because of the politics. You should never do that. Late-night television developed sentimental charms.

And in all of this, where is Joe Biden? Joe Biden is leaving the stage, his gaze vacant, and his demeanor suggestive of fragility.
