After the woman introducing Joe Biden to a Michigan crowd yesterday called Sarah Palin a "bucket of fluff," Biden [via Morning Joe] said Republicans are "just not used to somebody really smart. They're just not used to somebody who's really well-educated. They just don't know quite how to handle it. Because if he's as smart as Barack is, he musn't be from my neighborhood!" Of all the people the Dems might have chosen to put the respective smarts of the two tickets on the table, Joe Biden? He who publicly claimed to have finished in the top half of his Syracuse law school class . . . when in fact he was 76th in a class of 85, plagiarizing a paper there along the way?
But, OK, fine. Biden's put it out there. We know about Biden's academic record. And John McCain's far-from-stellar academics at the Naval Academy are well documented. Sarah Palin apparently moved around quite a bit in college. But there's one person about whom there is a very large lacuna when it comes to his academic record: one Barack Obama. His campaign has refused to release his Columbia University undergraduate transcript, the one upon which he was admitted to Harvard Law. Now that Biden has put smarts on the table, will the MSM demand that Obama come clean on Columbia?

Joe Biden...the Dims gift to the GOP that just keeps on giving...if brains were dynamite, he wouldn’t have enough to blow his nose!!!
I went to the State University of NY @ Stony Brook. The school is best known for its physics and medical departments. The CAT scan was developed there. There was a Nobel laureate on staff there. Stony Brook was associated with Brookhaven National Labs. Suffice it to say, there were a lot of "smart, well-educated" people there. I met quite a few of these really smart people, who were getting an education. Having a conversation with them was like talking to a tea bag. In many cases, if they had to talk outside of their area of specialty, they were dumber than a box of rocks. And many had no "common sense" whatsoever. I remember reading an article about this, saying that in some cases, some of these brilliant, well educated people are "idiot savants." In Joe Biden's case, I'm willing to believe that he's certainly an idiot.

Mynah Biden has something between his ears and it ain’t fluff.
You know, I’ve often heard Rush say that Dems think that THEY are the smartest people in the room no matter where they go. I never really believed it until now..................
Typical dimwit who swears up is down and down is up depending on the definition of what "is" is.
When they nominated Biden we laughed. When we nominated Palin they run around like a bunch of ants that just had their hill knocked over.
Actually you can almost see the top of her head in the video.
