Biden intended part of this to be humorous. It almost ends up being a commentary on his capabilities.

Brain surgeon was right! Less than 50 percent of his brain is functional.

Joe Biden — The New Normal — Who knew?

[workerbee]

I read an essay here some time ago (last year, at least) that basically intimated that Biden was the Dem’s VP choice as a deliberate joke on conservatism. That is, he’s a middle-age white guy who represents the past, and that the Dems propped him up as a sort of the “anti-Obama” — like tossing a bone to anyone who might have a problem with voting Obi, but the “inside joke” was on them.

Have no idea who wrote it or when, but if anyone else remembers and can give details that’d be nice.

[Durbin]

This story fails to mention the neurosurgeon forgot to put Biden’s brain back before he sewed him up.

[familyop]

So he doesn’t have as much brain tissue as a normal man—more like that of a women or less...maybe even a monkey.

This was a couple years before the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill hearings, in which Biden played such a vital and excruciatingly humorous role, turning the proceedings whenever he had the chance, into
The Joe Biden Show. Not knowing he’d had brain surgery in ‘88, I’m now confident it did him NO good.

And now you know — the rest of the story.

Paul Harvey ... Good Day!

[chrisser]

Did he get a discount by having the (hair) plugs installed while his hood was off?

[dglang]

Unfortunately it looks like he only hit 25% of the goal.

Uh huh. "Doc, will I ever play the piano again?"
"Uh...do you play the piano now?"
"No."

Less Than 50% Chance of ‘Being Completely Normal’

In the words of the great philosopher Maxwell Smart, "Missed it by that much."

[supremedoctrine]

To see what I mean go to Youtube and get: Clarence Thomas Hearings: Biden Questions Thomas 1. It is absolutely EXCRUCIATING—he already sounds brain-damaged, like he can’t gather enough words for a single sentence without a dozen “uhhh”s. I didn’t have the stomach to get more of this on Biden Questions Thomas 2.

[McBuff]

Biden: “Doc. . what are my chances of getting off this table completely normal?”
Doctor: "Well, in view of the fact that you weren't normal when you got on the table. . .I think slim and none."

[stilloftyhenight]

The jokes just write themselves.

[Errant]

and that that chance was in the 35 to 50 percent range...

Well, he's never used that much anyhow...

Biden: Brain Surgeon Told Him Had Less Than 50% Chance of ‘Being Completely Normal’

NOW WE KNOW WHY HE IS LIKE HE IS.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Joe, stick with that story.

My wife died from an aneurysm, and this A-wipe breathes on...

It’s a cruel, cruel universe...

[Mr Ramsbotham]

"You are old, Father Biden," the young man said,
"And your hair has become very white,
"And yet you incessantly stand on your head,
"Do you think, at your age, it is right?"

"In my youth," Father Biden replied, to his son,
"I feared it might injure the brain.
"But now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,
"Why, I do it again, and again!"

[Secret Agent Man]

clearly the surgeon was correct.
