Biden Being Biden – Which Means Being an A-hole Liar
He then went on to say that he ”went to law school on a full academic scholarship – the only one in my class to have a full academic scholarship,” Mr. Biden said. He also said that he ”ended up in the top half” of his class and won a prize in an international moot court competition. In college, Mr. Biden said in the appearance, he was ”the outstanding student in the political science department” and ”graduated with three degrees from college.”
In his statement today, Mr. Biden, who attended the Syracuse College of Law and graduated 76th in a class of 85, acknowledged: ”I did not graduate in the top half of my class at law school and my recollection of this was inacurate.”
As for receiving three degrees, Mr. Biden said: ”I graduated from the University of Delaware with a double major in history and political science. My reference to degrees at the Claremont event was intended to refer to these majors – I said ‘three’ and should have said ‘two.’ ” Mr. Biden received a single B.A. in history and political science.
”With regard to my being the outstanding student in the political science department,” the statement went on. ”My name was put up for that award by David Ingersoll, who is still at the University of Delaware.”
In the Sunday interview, Mr. Biden said of his claim that he went to school on full academic scholarship: ”My recollection is – and I’d have to confirm this – but I don’t recall paying any money to go to law school.” Newsweek said Mr. Biden had gone to Syracuse ”on half scholarship based on financial need.”
As for the moot court competition, Mr. Biden said he had won such a competition, with a partner, in Kingston, Ontario, on Dec. 12, 1967.

Apparently there’s no penalty for serial lying about one’s accomplishments (or lack, thereof).
That just about explains our entire political culture.

He has more hair now than he did in 1988. Maybe they pushed in the hair plugs too deep.

Recommend Sec’y of State be appointed to fill out the remainder of his term.

First he was in the bottom two-thirds of his class, failing, then he boasted that he was in the top half.
I’m not a math genius, but even I know that means he could have stayed in the same position the entire time.

Must have been a room full of idiots.
I’m surprised he didn’t break his arm from patting himself on the back so hard.

And every “fact” he quoted about himself was completely untrue. And whoever brags about being in the “bottom 2/3″ of his class. Really? Bottom 2/3? Why not the bottom 95%?

His behavior speaks of a man that knows he will win whether he has the majority of votes or not.

@vangrungy – “…How the fuck does this jack ass get elected?…”
I’ll tell you how. The democrap party is composed of two camps: the first are rabid anti-Republicans; the second are idiots.

BFH, there used to be an old black and white photo of candidate Biden handing a pubescent young girl some kind of award while staring straight at her budding chest. Kind of said it all about Uncle Joe, but I can’t find the pic….

Biden’s right. Who needs credentials to get things done?
Why haven’t we’ve learned from some of our brightest leaders in the Congress?
1. Unemployment creates jobs.
2. If too many people stand on an island, it might tip over.
3. The race card is necessary and a right for those who “need” to use it in order to get ahead.
4. The eternal push for billions upon billions to fund our public educational system so that we can continue to be proud of our children who rank fourteenth on a global scale in reading, math, and writing.
Let’s be grateful for our wise and concerned leadership.

He wasn’t just rude. He was downright mean, vicious, nasty, unprofessional, low class,
[psychotic] and a disgrace to his office.
The Democrats sure can pick em, can’t they?
They always elect their own kind; real trash.

About the only degrees in his life are the 180 that separate him from the truth.
