Biden’s best mini-epic was his youthful battle against “Corn Pop”—a supposedly dangerous black gang leader who made the mistake of squaring off against the volatile and scary 19-year-old lifeguard Biden at a community swimming pool.

If Biden does win the nomination, President Trump should bring a black gentleman approximately Biden's age to the first debate and have him sit in the front row. Then, at the appropriate time, he should tell Biden that he's located Corn Pop, point the guy out, have him wave to Biden, and watch Joe Biden become completely unhinged in front of the entire nation. President Trump will then tell him it was just a little joke.

I gotta say, that Corn Pop story was pretty awesome. I sort want to vote for the guy who can call out the dude on the diving board with pomade hair and no bathing cap, and say that he’s Esther.

Oh, yah, and that he’s gonna wrap a chain around his neck. Wait. Maybe that’s going a bit far.

But the Esther bit was awesome. Super duper presidential.

Excellent - thanks for posting...We’ve always had to be on guard when we hear Joe speak on any subject - NOW we’re going to paying even more close attention. What a weasel...

“”President Trump will then tell him it was just a little

That would be a hoot all right!

I didn’t check the author before I read it - Victor Davis Hanson is the absolute best - no wonder I enjoyed it!

Biden is a laugh riot, too bad he won’t be the nominee.

Incidents of plagiarism both on the campaign trail and during his time at the Syracuse University College of Law became some of the final issues that dogged Biden before he ultimately suspended his floundering campaign.

Joe has no problem making things up. He recalls an incident where some older politician groped a girl during an event and Joe had to demonstrate that was bad behavior, except the older politician’s name was Joe Biden and he denied knowing it ever happened.

With the frequency of Biden’s gaffes and miscues, the inevitable talk of age related dementia has been bandied about. Although the existence of this malady would explain Biden’s comments, after reading Dr. Hanson’s article, I think the only thing Biden suffers from is an overly enhanced ego buttressed by a compliant left-wing media. If there were any self-respecting “journalists” on the left, then Dr. Hanson’s article would be a page one expose at the NYT or Washington Post. Instead, the media covers for a man who appears to have a very loose acquaintance with the facts. Perhaps this is why, when Biden said he preferred “truth over facts,” it was not a mere slip of the tongue by good ole Joe but, rather, an honest statement that his “truth” will not cower when confronted with the “facts.” Is this character trait a desirable one for a would be President? I certainly hope not.
