Biden's Hangout Closed 15 Years Ago
Friday, October 3. 2008The previous entry focused on Biden's gaffes and lies in last night's debate from a Middle East perspective, but this whopper is so big, it deserves its own post:
"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."It turns out that Katie's Restaurant closed down fifteen years ago. Talk radio host Curtis Sliwa of WABC dug this information up (for audio, click here). He also got puzzled reactions from Wilmington Home Depots asking if anyone had ever sighted Biden. Think any mainstream reporter will follow up and ask him which Home Depot he frequents? Think any journalist will go to that Home Depot to confirm?
Joe Biden's 1988 presidential campaign shut down due to revelations of egregious plagiarism. He was discovered to have plagiarized in law school. He commits gaffes on a daily basis.
Biden succeeded in the debate by covering up who he really is.
Palin succeeded in the debate by conveying who she really is.
Also, I know a lot of people that aren't particularly well off, but doubt there are more than a few handfuls who say they have to get partial tanks of gas because they can't afford to fill it up. The man is deranged when he tells stories like this.
I doubt that anyone in the press did anthing but cheer when they heard him BSing.
