You don't make that point by stressing how long Biden has been in Washington, 'cause that comes back to bite you with McCain, who has also been there long enough to be considered an insider by any reasonable, chronoligically-linked definition. You make that point by pointing out what Biden has done/who he has sided with during his time in Washington.
I didn't say that you compare it to when McCain got there, I said you stress that McCain was still a POW when Biden got there. Because without saying the years you start the thought process of "Well, McCain is pretty old, but he wasn't that old when he was a fighter pilot and that's when he got shot down. Jesus, Biden must have been there forever!"
