Fall Campaign Season Begins With Biden Teetering Atop Democratic Field
Time ^ | August 31, 2019 | Philip Elliot

Joe Biden sincerely did not understand the hullabaloo about a Washington Post story detailing how the former Vice President had mangled facts about U.S. soldiers and his own role in honoring them. For the life of him, he told his staffers on Thursday between campaign stops in South Carolina, he could not process why journalists, let alone the public, saw this as a problem. He had meant well enough, Biden told aides. The campaign wouldn’t dignify it with a proper statement.

When it came time to do two previously scheduled interviews on the road, Biden stood defiant against any suggestion that he did, in fact, have his facts wrong. He told The Post and Courier of Charleston, S.C., that he had the “essence of the story” right. And he told a Washington Post podcast that he saw nothing wrong with his retelling, despite having misstated his role at the time, the military branch of the hero, the year it took place and what actually happened.

Grabbing for traction
Leading by a hair
Trying to hold on
Feeling it slip away

That’s our Joe!

After all, President Donald Trump has flubbed the facts more than 12,000 times, according to the Post’s ongoing tally.

And given the composts record of journalistic integrity we have to believe that 2 or even 3 of those 12,000 “flubbed facts” make might actually be flubbed facts.

Look at the pictures.

There is only one candidate with a favorable one.

Slime has chosen its candidate—and it is not Biden or Bernie... ;-)

I have a lib sister like that....nuttier than a fruitcake. When confronted with the truth or facts, she threatens to actually kill you. Libs really are insane...violently insane in most cases.

A lot of people have forgotten Obongo picked Joe precisely because Joe was a bumbling idiot who would never outshine him.

Oh leave dear old Uncle Joe alone.

"He meant well enough"

And that's all that matters. F'cryin' out loud, the FBI left Hillary alone because she didn't mean to do anything wrong.

"wouldn’t dignify it with a proper statement"

Of course. That's what everybody said when those rude racists asked why Obama spent over 2 million dollars preventing the release of his birth certificate, then presented an electronic copy, but never did allow the release of the original--and when it slipped his dear grandmother's mind that she had witnessed his birth in Hawaii instead of Kenya; everybody makes a mistake like that once in a while.

"he could not process why journalists, let alone the public, saw this as a problem"

Oh by all means, don't embarrass this lovable old goofus. He deserves to be nominated for the Presidency. It's his turn.

Yep. Old Joe is a fine piece of work.
That “gesture” he’s making would get you shot, fired, and/or arrested nowadays depending on where it’s done and who sees it.

Other than that, there wasn't a thing wrong with it.
