As we reported earlier, liberals had a meltdown Wednesday after the Wall Street Journal published a piece claiming that "participants in private meetings with 81-year-old President Biden say he has shown signs of slipping." So once again Biden's mental acuity is in the news, and the usual suspects are out to convince us that Biden is sharper than ever. MSNBC's Joe Scarborough tweeted that "Biden is far sharper, more intellectually curious, and far more insightful on global affairs than any House GOP speaker I have met over 30 years." (Former GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy had said that Biden's "not the same person" he used to visit when he was vice president.)

Obama bro Jon Favreau was quick to pick up a report that seven Republican senators have described Biden as "cogent and well-versed on the issues."
