http://www.rawstory.com/2015/05/fox-psychoanalyzes-joe-biden-after-sons-death-with-psychiatrist-who-accused-vp-of-being-a-drunk/Stay classy Fox and Blowhard.
Fox News marked the death of Beau Biden, the son of Joe Biden, by psychoanalyzing the vice president with the help of Dr. Keith Ablow, who had once accused the vice president of having dementia and being a drunk.
I would say to the vice president or anybody in his position, this is something you will struggle with for a very long time, Ablow told the hosts of Fox & Friends on Sunday. The way to try to heal, of course, is to try to say lets look at this persons accomplishments, look at their children and try to emulate the best of them going forward.
What is the natural reaction Joe Biden will be suffering? host Peter Johnson wondered. Will he become depressed as a result of this?
Families in political life, families who have served may be more resilient than others, Ablow speculated. They have a context for their suffering. They want to make contributions. And so I dont expect I mean, it would be a human thing if the vice president were to become depressed. Who might not?
However, he is a resilient man, the doctor added. He lived through the loss of this wife and another child. And I would expect him to double his involvement with this family, if thats even possible because we know him to be a very involved family man. But even more so to do that. And to be aware of those parts of the pattern of Beau Biden that he bumps into. Right? Memories of him, not to run away from those things, but to embrace them because this man lived a rich and textured life.

as far as classy, how about Raw Story apparently looking for something to get outraged about after Biden's death. Is that classy?

Ablow is a disgrace but he didn't use this death to be one, for once. Then RS did. Rotten tactics.

Ablow should be examined pronto. He is on the Rush Limbaugh scale of bizarre. The dude is packing a couple 30 extra pounds and calls Michele Obama fat. Seriously, and I think Rush did the same thing which is too funny to actually get mad about that one is just a head shaker.
