Biden tells a story about "the great negro at the time" Satchel Paige. [More]
Was he also "articulate" and "clean"?
I tried to find out if Paige was a Democrat or Republican to see if Biden would have considered him "black," but came up empty. It seems there was a time when athletes and celebrities didn't abuse their fame by injecting themselves into politics...

Should be 'of' Joe.
Now, how about Frederick Douglas?
Slow Joe seems to be developing a Satchel Paige fetish. He told this exact same story to the Pope.
"My son Beau," "Satchel Paige"... who will capture his nostalgia neuron next? Judy Garland? Eugene Debs? Elvis?
