The way I read it, there was a person, Joe Biden, who was the object of primary importance. Why, when the big deal is obviously about the person, and possibly also about the hope of what this person might bring, would you make such a sweeping generalization?
I don't speak for wooz, but I imagine that, if I had the opportunity to witness an historical event up close and in person, I might speak of that event with no small degree of enthusiasm. That would have nothing at all to do with the classification of the person or persons involved, but rather the people themselves, and most probably about what the person(s) is/are doing at the time.
The remark wasn't about Biden or Wooz's post, but a generalization of all government servants. McCain is looked at by his followers the same way. This is not a political statement, but a statement about human nature.

I hope this doesn't come across as trolling, but I didn't see anyone comment on Biden's "International Incident within the first 6 months of Obabma's (foregone conclusion) Presidency". Just seems to me that this would come across as a reason NOT to vote foe him, and avoid this mysterious, 'guaranteed' tragedy.
My Two Cents.

Please don't take this the wrong way. I'm trying to understand the allure of the politician. Why do we place them on such a pedestal? They are government servants whose salaries and benefits WE pay.

But, on Debate Night, the official Obama website was still boasting that he would meet Ahmadinejad “without preconditions”. He said America spends more in a month in Iraq than it’s spent in seven years in Afghanistan. Er, America has spent over $700 billion in Afghanistan since 2001. It’s spending about $10 billion a month in Iraq. But no matter.
To demonstrate his command of the “facts”, Senator Biden sportingly offered up his own instant replays: “My friend John McCain voted 422 times against tax cuts for the middle classes. Let me repeat that so the American people are clear on this. My friend John McCain voted 673 times against tax cuts for the middle classes.” The problem was that it all sounded drearily senatorial.
Mention any global crisis — civil war in Bosnia, genocide in Darfur, Russian aggression in Georgia, the lack of five-star restaurants in Wales — and Biden has been there, usually within the last two weeks, and always at public expense. What the American taxpayer gets for the Emir of Delaware’s frequent-flyer miles is harder to discern. Biden was doing his best to turn in a decent karaoke version of Lloyd Bentsen, but, unfortunately, Governor Palin declined to play Dan Quayle... this all ya got?

We usually say October's the best but last year was kind of iffy. If you're not so much concerned with Yellowstone, the winter months... well they're still shit. December thru February are pretty much gray and stark and just count on indoor stuff. Sure we get out and play but unless you ski I don't see that being a good time to come for a visit. It's often a monotonous drive with everything monochrome.  but if February's when you have the time, we'll still plan a party! Our last road trip of any consequence was about 10 years ago, when we drove the old Volvo up to Orcas for #1 son. February. Iffy weather. Current Volvo will probably go to #1 daughter. San Jose. 65 miles from here. Can't hardly make a road trip out of that. You haven't scared me sufficiently yet. *edit* Practically speaking, Late Feb. through May may be a possibility, let's see what shakes out.
