Joe Biden is lying about his college football career, in that he claims he had one
Does it really count as a lie if a fellow simply can’t tell the difference between fantasy and reality? Yes. Yes, it does. Insanity is no excuse.
Last month, Joe Biden told a lie. I know that’s not at all specific enough, so here’s how CBS News described it:
During a campaign stop in Athens, Ohio, on Saturday, Vice President Joe Biden said the last time he was in the town, playing against the Ohio University football team in 1963, he almost got arrested for walking into a girls’ dormitory.
Ha, ha, ha! Oh, that Joe.
There’s just one problem with this heartwarming tale of youthful mischief, as Jim Hoft writes:
It’s a good story. It’s just not true… at all.
Shawn at Free Republic discovered that Joe Biden did not play football at the University of Delaware in 1961, 1962, 1963, or 1964, according to past yearbooks.
Go look for yourself.

Either this guy is an outright liar, or a brain damaged confabulator.
I’m honestly starting to suspect the latter!

Now, it’s family lore that Joey played football (without a helmet, obviously), so that’s all there is to say about that. Nothing to see here, so move along.

“playing against the Ohio University football team in 1963″
Again you have misinterpreted Joes statement. He was in fact playing jacks in the locker room at halftime.

I think he had to wear a protective helmet and they just let him believe it was for football.

Funny thing, Ohio State didn’t play Delaware in 1963, or at least that’s what Ohio State says.

The greatest concern is the easy with which liberals lie.

I found him in one of the yearbooks! He was under equipment handlers. There is even a picture of him in the yearbook, hand washing jock straps.

Family lore – that’s it. Along with the high cheekbones…no wonder he thought he invented the internets and trans-national interstate railway system.

I have always wondered what criteria Baraq Oblowme used in selecting Joe Biteme as his VP, and now it is finally sinking in.
They are both congenital liars, and thus they have a synergy which enables them to totally buffalo their ignorant base.

I don’t think he ever graduated from the school of fake laughter. He is an obvious fraud just like you know who.

Joe Biden walks into a bar and … the damned oaf walks into everything. Not surprised he walked into the girls’ locker.
