Joe Biden: the rarest, and most commendable of public officials

See Politico: Biden to shrink VP role - big time

What a guy. Once a government office has been endowed with powers, it's extremely hard to shrink or remove them. Biden is volunteering to shrink the size of the office. I am wondering if this is due to pressure from the Obama team, the same team that relegated him to nonessential campaigning during the presidential race. In any case, he deserves a salute.

I know that the nation is fawning over its president-elect, but I get the feeling that Obama is an extremely bright guy who's going to make good decisions and (hopefully) run the country well.
