Former Joe Biden aide writes angry tell-all

(snip)

...a former aide to Vice President Joe Biden has written a tell-all Washington memoir in which he lacerates the former Delaware senator as an “egomaniacal autocrat” who was “determined to manage his staff through fear.”

(snip)

[Jeff] Connaughton wrote “The Payoff,” which came out last month, in the fashion of guilt-racked whistle-blower: he was a party to a corrupt system and now wants to blow the lid off the game.

(snip)

He is harshly critical of his own party and the Obama administration, arguing that the president is no different than most other Washington Democrats in his willingness to kowtow to Wall Street.

President Obama and Biden, he writes, are “both financially illiterate.”

"The Payoff" is every bit the cri de coeur of a man who, as he writes, is “willing to burn every bridge” in order to indict the transactional Washington lobbying and political culture.

(snip)

...can't wait for the Obama sequel......

Just five minutes ago, I was reading a review of that book.

Apparently Joe Bidet isn't the greatest boss in the world, to put it mildly.

Did you have any doubt that he'd be anything other than this?

Connaughton sounds like a typical liberal whiny ***** to me.

If he doesn't get what he wants, he whines about it and laments his decisions.

**** him and **** his book.

Biden's a dick, but then again, so is Connaughton.
