In a speech Wednesday, the vice president recalled a moment from childhood when he ‘smashed [the] head’ of local bully—and then threatened to kill him.
Vice President Joe Biden said he once chased down a bully on his bicycle, physically assaulted him, and threatened to “kill” him—all in the name of protecting the honor of his sister Valerie.
~snip~
“I remember coming back from Mass on Sunday,” Biden began. “Always the big treat was, we’d stop at the donut shop…We’d get donuts, and my dad would wait in the car. As I was coming out, my sister [Valerie] tugged on me and said, ‘That’s the boy who kicked me off my bicycle.’”
“So I went home—we only lived about a quarter mile away—and I got on my bicycle and rode back, and he was in the donut shop.”
Biden remembered the boy was in a physically vulnerable position: “leaning down on one of those slanted counters.”
Sensing his opportunity, Joey Biden pounced: “I walked up behind him and smashed his head next to the counter.”
“I’m not recommending it,” he added.
“His father grabbed me, and I looked at his son and said, ‘If you ever touch my sister again, I’ll come back here again and I’ll kill your son.’ Now, that was a euphemism. I thought I was really, really in trouble… My father never once raised his hand to any one of his children—never once—and I thought I was in trouble. He pulled me aside and said, ‘Joey, you shouldn’t do that, but I’m proud of you, son.’”

Why would the bullyy’s father be proud of “Joey”? The story makes no sense, but then again it is Biden, so what do I expect? It also probably never happened.
My guess is that Biden was the bully and someone kicked his butt after Biden made some crude comments about the guy’s sister. He has a way of getting his stories totally backwards.
Haha.....I am nonplussed....
Well, it’s been proven he is a literal plagiarist. This is just an example of the verbal equivalent.
A revolving door could kick this idiot’s butt.
How many remember back to the 2008 Joe Biden vs. Sarah Palin debate?
Joe was trying to beef up his regular guy credentials and promote Barack Obama when he made the following comment about finding out what the folks on Main Street think.
"Look, the people in my neighborhood, they get it. They get it. They know they’ve been getting the short end of the stick. So walk with me in my neighborhood, go back to my old neighborhood in Claymont, an old steel town or go up to Scranton with me. These people know the middle class has gotten the short end. The wealthy have done very well. Corporate America has been rewarded. It’s time we change it. Barack Obama will change it."
"Look, all you have to do is go down Union Street with me in Wilmington or go to Katie’s Restaurant or walk into Home Depot with me where I spend a lot of time and you ask anybody in there whether or not the economic and foreign policy of this administration has made them better off in the last eight years. And then ask them whether there’s a single major initiative that John McCain differs with the president on. On taxes, on Iraq, on Afghanistan, on the whole question of how to help education, on the dealing with health care."
The main problem with that statement is that Katie's Restaurant had been closed since sometime in the Clinton administration. At the time of the debate the location was a "Wings To Go" franchise with a full bar and live music.
Another minor issue is that Joe also got the address wrong.
Oh, yes, it happened. As he was coming from Mass, on his way to pick up his Eagle Scout award for having discovered penicillin.
By the time his presidential campaign hits full stride, he will have been awarded the Medal of Honor six or seven times.
Pascal and Rudin should ask Biden what his favorite movie is - DUMB AND DUMBER?
Oh, that's funny!
Once a plagiarist, always a plagiarist.
Probably a fabricated memory from a mind in dementia, or maybe just a plain old lie. But if it did happen it’s just evidence that Biden is Irish after all. That being said, cold cocking from behind is a coward’s way. Head butting their nose into pink mush from the front is the way a real Celt would handle it.
The donut shop was next door to the diner that closed 10 years before he tells us he was there.
Goes with out saying, I would think.
LMAO
Is ‘Ol Joe sure he wasn’t the one who got his head smacked on the counter? It would explain a lot . . . .
Was he raised up with the expectation of being audited by the IRS, or being denied medical care, after speaking up?
I don’t believe a word of it - except that some boy probably bullied his sister.
Especially questionable is that the bully was still in the donut shop after the Biden quarter mile bike ride - how many donuts later?
LOL, more likely his sister threatened the bully for picking on “Joey”.
BINGO!!!!!
