We are smart as 31 years ago.

Doc: Dem frontrunner definitely doesn't have brain damage
Something is happening behind the scenes within the Democratic Party. Former Vice President Joe Biden remains the prohibitive favorite to win the nomination, even as he continues to commit word gaffes with his mouth.
Many still consider Biden to be the most "electable" candidate, but some Democrats, including some of his own aides and supporters, are beginning to express doubts about the 76-year-old's intellectual capacity.
It would appear that the Democratic establishment, in its desperation to prevent Bernie Sanders from winning the nomination, is keen to develop a contingency plan in case Biden falters.
Team Biden is on the defensive, and has even wheeled out the former Veep's brain surgeon to reassure skeptics that he's totally fine and definitely doesn't have brain damage. It's not the most reassuring claim to have to make about a presidential candidate, but here we are. Politico reports:
The two brain aneurysms Biden suffered in 1988 were fully treated and he showed no signs of mental trouble as a result, said Dr. Neal Kassell, who performed the surgery on Biden three decades ago. Nor did Biden suffer any brain damage that could come back to haunt him in old age, Kassell said.
"He is every bit as sharp as he was 31 years ago. I haven’t seen any change," Kassell said. "I can tell you with absolute certainty that he had no brain damage, either from the hemorrhage or from the operations that he had. There was no damage whatsoever."
Kassell went on to say that he planned to vote for "the candidate who I am absolutely certain has a brain that is functioning. And that narrows it down exactly to one." It is assumed, but not entirely clear, that he was referring to Biden.
Nevertheless, Biden allies remain wary and are said to be considering a scaled-back campaign schedule in an effort to limit the candidate's gaffes, which risk undermining his new campaign slogan about the country's need for "strong, steady, stable leadership."
Elizabeth Harrington ✔ @LizRNC Biden's new slogan is he's "strong, steady, and stable"
Seriously
Which proves absolutely nothing.
Post of the week.
Just because the piece of equipment known as a brain is functioning doesn't mean the guy using it has any sense.
Joe was a verbally sloppy, camera-chasing intellectual midget 31 years ago and he hasn't changed a bit.
My sister is a close friend / neighbor to a SS Agent. Unfortunately every time VP Biden flew into town for a fundraiser during the Odunga reign of terror he amongst many was assigned to protect him. We are talking about many assignments as he was assigned to a big, Dem rich West Coast city. To no one’s surprise.....his assessment of Biden? A thoroughly unlikeable clown.
ehhh, second opinion needed to convince me
He’s as sharp as a Tic-Tac!
Biden is no news to FReepers!
Thank GOD!!!
So maiy were beginning to wonder!!

“He is every bit as sharp as he was 31 years ago. I haven’t seen any change,” Kassell said.
Sometimes the jokes write themselves.
Oldest trick in the book, it shows that you can find a professional that will say anything if you throw enough money at them. These are the same libs that were hiring “experts” to “prove” that GW Bush had the lowest IQ of any president ever.
Methinks the good doctor doth protest too much.
Joe is an old man whose mind has slowed down. In this current campaign, Joe is clearly in over his head.
He needs to retire and enjoy whatever lucid years he has left. Or else Joe could become a duly elected Puppet of the left, just as he was Obama’s Puppet, a token Whitey on Obama’s ticket, one who had no effect on any Obama policies. Obama was frequently embarrassed by Joe’s failure to grasp his Saul Alinsky based liberal fascist movement. ( See: http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2009/05/barack_obama_the_quintessentia_1.html )
That’s why the left really does want Joe. He is the left’s Trojan Horse.
It says a lot that Biden would even be addressing this.
So, the way I see it, Slow Joe’s doctor just said, “There is no excuse. Joe really is as stupid as he sounds, and for no real reason!”
Brilliant as usual, dear Leni!
Joe Biden’s brain.. still functioning at 1/10th of 1%.
Please tell me his doctor is a fan of Jack Kevorkian!
There is a president that has the highest.
