Thinking out loud here, after reading an article where Don Lemon is defending his questioning of Bidens health, it occurs to me...maybe Biden is being used as the most extreme example of why we should elect younger presidents in the future. I feel we will start to see much younger candidates show up from the democrats next presidential election and Lemon is framing the narrative pretty well for it, when you consider his target audience.
Hmmm.
thought this was interesting, from his book; he mentions morse code on the first page...

Chapter 1 – Impedimenta
Joe Impedimenta. My classmates hung that nickname on me our first semester of high school when we were doing two periods of Latin a day. It was one of the first big words we learned. Impedimenta—the baggage that impedes one’s progress. So I was Joe Impedimenta. Or Dash. A lot of people thought they called me Dash because of football. I was fast, and I scored my share of touchdowns. But the guys at an all-boys Catholic school usually didn’t give you nicknames to make you feel better about yourself. They didn’t call me Dash because of what I could do on the football field; they called me Dash because of what I could not do in the classroom. I talked like Morse code. Dot-dot-dot-dot-dash-dash-dash-dash. “You gu-gu-gu-gu-guys sh-sh-sh-sh-shut up!”
