Joe Biden has had a couple of runs at the presidency. In his first, he stated he was first in his law class, went on a full scholarship and blah, blah, blah. Truth be told Ol' Joe graduated from Syracuse 177 out of 188. Even guys like Dan Rather ferreted out these lies quite easily so Joe dropped out of the race.
Back in 1987, the revelation that Biden had plagiarized a speech by the British Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock destroyed his first foray into presidential politics. I think of Gertrude Stein again: it’s critical, she said, to “know how far to go in going too far.” Biden didn’t. Not only did he appropriate whole passages of Kinnock’s speech, he even repeated the boast-bid-for-sympathy-declaration-of-authenticity that came with the claim of being a miner’s son. Kinnock was. Joe’s dad ran a car dealership. (Joe revisited the miner meme a few years later when he said that he was “a hard coal miner,” a ridiculous claim his campaign explained away as a joke. From American Greatness
Biden has a history of telling tall tales. The one listed below is typical. It's reminiscent of Hillary telling us how she had to dodge gunfire as she exited a helicopter in Bosnia. When confronted with the truth; picutures of a little girl presenting her with flowers, she said about her fib, "That's the way I remember it." This is the best way. In a Seinfeld episode George Costanza to told Jerry, "It isn't a lie if you believe it."Politicians believe this crap.
Another Biden lie--------
Back in 2019, before it became clear that Joe was to be the Democratic nominee, even the Washington Post went to town on some of Joe’s whoppers. For example, at a political rally in New Hampshire, Joe said that a four-star general had once asked the then-vice president to travel to Kunar province in Afghanistan to recognize the remarkable heroism of a Navy captain. “We can lose a vice president,” said Joe, bravely. “We can’t lose many more of these kids. Not a joke.”
It was a good story: the Navy captain had rappelled down a ravine “under fire” and retrieved the body of an American comrade, “carrying him on his back.” Biden was there to pin a Silver Star on the American hero, who demurred.
He said, ‘Sir, I don’t want the damn thing!’ Biden said, his jaw clenched and his voice rising to a shout. ‘Do not pin it on me, Sir! Please, Sir. Do not do that! He died. He died!’
The room was silent.
This is the God’s truth, Biden had said as he told the story. My word as a Biden.
“My word as a Biden,” indeed. Every single detail of the story is wrong. Biden went to Kunar in 2008, as a senator, not later as vice-president. The chap who made the rescue was a 20-year-old Army specialist, not a captain. And Biden never pinned any sort of medal on him.
