Anyone watching Joe Biden's bizarre Tuesday afternoon MSNBC interview with Nicolle Wallace really had to wonder about the guy after watching the bizarre, rambling, and gooey interview. Between Biden's tangents that would sudden start then stop and Wallace's disturbing infatuation and wide smile hanging on his every word, it was as weird as one could possibly imagine.

Biden alternated between getting choked up while discussing people who had lost loved ones to the virus, with flinging insults at President Trump --- only to instantly issue abashed, child-like apologies, calling his words "stupid," saying "sorry," and "I shouldn't have said it that way."

At one point while apologizing, Biden made a series of deeply goofy facial expressions (see screencap) and even resorted to make a hand motion as if he were playing with a yo-yo. All the while, Wallace appeared completely enthralled, as if she were interviewing a crush.

To reiterate, Wallace couldn't stop smiling broadly and warmly. all the while giggling at Joe's bon mots.

She thanked him at the end of their interview no fewer than six times. Wallace was in total soul-meld with Biden, twice referring to Biden and herself as "just a guy his basement, talking to a gal in hers."
