'Yesterday's Man'

 It's a phrase that got picked up as a title for a book on Joe Biden....written by Branko Marcetic.  What it infers.....a washed-up Hollywood type or political-type who has wrapped up his career but stayed one movie or one term too long, and can't get the 'magic' going for this last part of his career.

FDR became a yesterday's man....staying past a third term, and even a fourth term.  

Nixon....running in 1968, after the VP years under Eisenhower....was a yesterday's man.

Teddy Roosevelt eventually became a yesterday's man....after leaving office in 1912.  

It's an interesting phrase and likely to be repeated.
