REPORTS OF A HIT-AND-RUN INCIDENT INVOLVING JOE BIDEN’S BROTHER. Greg Pollowitz comments: “There’s the obvious parallel of Joe Biden’s own heartbreaking family tragedy that makes this story newsworthy, but there’s also the fact that Frank Biden is out on the campaign trail for brother Joe from time to time. And it’s not as though the driving records of VP candidates’ family members are exactly off-limits to the media.”

I predict a new level of media sensitivity, now that it’s Biden instead of Palin.
