"Coldness", formality and due process are actually the best defense when dealing with someone who is in an obvious position of power. I'm not sure why people are pretending that Joe Biden is just an average guy who has gotten a little too comfy with some social acquaintance of his (the scenario that one might have a "cold" overreaction to). I do wonder what would happen if we were talking about Mike Pence doing the same things. Would the Washington Post be saying the same things about the inherent necessity of touch?
