I think it was 9th or 8th grade that we were taught footnoting for sources of material.

I wonder if Biden was paying attention when alphabetizing was being taught?

Mr. Biden insisted, however, that he had done nothing ''malevolent,'' that he had simply misunderstood the need to cite sources carefully.

But, but... I thought Joe was billed as the smartest man in every room.

“Mr. Biden insisted, however, that he had done nothing ‘’malevolent,’’”

He doesn’t think lying about an innocent man being drunk and committing murder was ‘malevolent’ either. And he was doing that for 20 years up until a few weeks ago.

I thought it was 1988 that he once again stole verbiage from a Euro politician for one of his speeches in the 1988 presidential campaign....anyone confirm?

It wasn’t malevolent.

It was unethical.

It was immoral.

It was crooked.

It was deceitful.

It was dishonest.

It was corrupt.

It was wrong.

Nothing will come of this. The media gives democrats a free pass while it searches for lies to broadcast about Sarah Palin.

Just as Obama cannot answer questions above his pay grade, so too is that word usage above Biden's SAT score.

Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”

Nice to see Obama refer to premartal sex as a mistake...I wonder why the media hasn't picked up on that. That seems to be in conflict with his efforts to teach kindergarten kids about sex ed. /s

“fighting to salvage his Presidential campaign”

from the NY Times?

Somethings up, people.

When the Times pulls the rug out from under a democrat...

And Bill met with obama the other day, also.

Darn. I didn’t know you could skate on cheating if it wasn’t “malevolent”. I was taught it’s always wrong to cheat; my parents must’ve forgotten to tell me about that malevolent thingie. I could have passed my Trigonometry Regents exam the first time around if I’d know about this loophole.
