Vice President-elect Biden on the Feinstein/Panetta fracas:
"I'm still a Senate man and I always think this way," he told reporters in the Capitol. "I think it's always good to talk to the requisite members of Congress." [...]
"I think it was just a mistake," Biden said of the transition team's failure to check in with Feinstein and outgoing Chairman Jay Rockefeller (D-W. Va.), who was also miffed.
Holy hell. On the bright side, he didn't preface this with lavish yet inexplicable praise for the Republicans.
