It seems like every writer and their dog has already published their take on the Wall Street Journal's bombshell report on Presidentish Joe Biden's decline, but seemingly lost in the hubbub over the White House coverup is one big question.

Why the hell didn't they ditch Biden two or three years ago?

The obvious answer is that his replacement would have been Kamala Harris, who my friend Stephen Kruiser and I have joked on many occasions got the veep nod from Biden as an insurance policy against getting 25th'd out of office.

But given what we know they knew about the rapidity and depth of Biden's decline, what would have been the harm for the Obama cabal in replacing one malleable figurehead with another?

Palace intrigue aside, let me show you a couple of items from that WSJ report that PJ's own Matt Margolis didn't get to in his excellent write-up earlier today.

The story also indicated that Biden didn't see polls showing him losing to Donald Trump and that Sen.
