Joe Biden is giving an astounding eulogy.

He’s talking about how she was there for him when he wanted to die after his wife and daughter’s deaths. He blended it tenderly with the hope of a better day when it seems all hope is lost. He’s feeling all his own losses deeply. It’s remarkable.

I had the same question. It would have taken 3 words for the OP to provide context: "for Ethel Kennedy."

I'm not sure why just adding just that little extra bit of context is apparently a bridge too far for some.

He was definitely looking aged then. Some people just look older than their actual years, I guess. He recently turned 73 per IMDB.

--my age. He was on ?Kimmel? recently doing a song and apparently he has decided to completely change his voice (or had to for some reason). Sounded very, very, very different--very growly, deep voice now. At least for that song. It was bizarre (but good).
