When I was a teen, I worked a summer pipeline construction job. Grunt labor.
Anyway there was this short, morbidly obese dude with a long red beard. They called him fuzzy. He drove a dilapidated chevy van.
Everyday his life story changed. One day it was leading Israeli commandos in the six day war. Another was meeting Golda Meir. Others were Vietnam War movie fodder.
Good point. On some level Walter Mitty knows that his adventures are fantasy. I'm not sure that Biden and McBragg know the difference, at least not all the time. I think Biden has something in common with Mitty (always makes himself the hero of the stories). walter mitty 1947
