Ann Coulter has accurately described the selection of Joe Biden for VP as “assassination insurance.” At times Joe Biden is is a doofus and the rest of the time he is incomprehensibly stupid.
He can’t count.

He tends to lie. A lot.

• Biden got in trouble in 1965, during his first year in law school. He wrote a paper in which he lifted five pages verbatim from the Fordham Law Review. He was given an “F” in the course. He managed to avoid being bounced from law school, retook the course and earned a B.
• He claimed that he was “the only one in my class to have a full academic scholarship.” He didn’t. He did have a half scholarship that was need-based.
• He did not graduate from law school in the top half of his class. He graduated 76th out of 85 — and he was near the bottom of his class all three years.
• If he won the moot court competition — and he claimed at the time that he actually did — he did not put it on his resume, surprising for a man prone to so egregiously exaggerating his accomplishments.
• He did not win the award for being the outstanding student in the political science department at Delaware, and he graduated with one degree, not three. He had a “C” average and graduated 506th in a class of 688.
And he is a plagiarist.
A Dukakis staffer noticed and fed to Maureen Dowd, then a New York Times reporter rather than columnist, that Biden had lifted almost verbatim his closing remarks at a debate at the Iowa state fairgrounds in August 1987. The lines were lifted from a passionate speech delivered by British Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock.
Now as part of an effort to promote Barack Obama’s jobs bill, Biden makes dark overtures about an increase in robberies and sex crimes if Obama’s bill does not pass.
“Well let me tell you, it’s not temporary when that 911 call comes in and a woman’s being raped, if a cop shows up in time to prevent the rape. It’s not temporary to that woman,” said Biden. “It’s not temporary to the guy whose store is being held up and there’s a gun pointed at his head, if a cop shows up and he’s not killed. That’s not temporary to that store owner. Give me a break! Temporary. ”
And he just can’t stop. The WaPo Fact Checker scrutinizes Biden’s claims:
“Let’s look at the facts: in 2008, when Flint had 265 sworn officers on their police force, there were 35 murders and 91 rapes in this city. In 2010, when Flint had only 144 police officers, the murder rate climbed to 65 and rapes–just to pick two categories–climbed to 229. In 2011, you now only have 125 shields.”
–Vice President Biden, October 18, 2011
“In Flint, Michigan, they cut their force in half; murder rates have doubled in the last year…Police departments, as I said, in some cases literally cut in half, like Camden, New Jersey, and Flint, Michigan. In many cities, the result has been — and it’s not unique — murder rates are up, robberies are up, rapes are up…I said rape was up, three times in Flint. There are the numbers. Go look at the numbers.”
–Biden, October 19, 2011, on Capitol Hill
They observe:
Murder did go up—though the rate did not double from 2009 to 2010, as Biden claimed. But rape has gone down. Biden actually asserted it had tripled.
And conclude:
The Pinocchio Test
Biden, when he was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1994, was author of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, the largest crime bill in U.S. history. On the face of it, a threefold increase in rape in two years—when other violent crime statistics show relatively modest increases in the same city—should raise serious questions for anyone knowledgeable about crime or statistics. Clearly, the city of Flint supplied bad data, and either Biden or someone in Biden’s office should have caught it.
In any case, the vice president should know better than to spout off half-baked facts in service of a dubious argument. Even if one believes there is a link between crime and the number of police—which is debatable and subject to many caveats—there is no excuse to make the dramatic claim that more people will die or be raped without additional funds for police. When making such a breathtaking charge, you had better have your facts straight.
They give Biden Four Pinocchios.
The White House says about Biden claims:
“I think it would be hard to find anyone that doesn’t agree,”
When there is no conscience there is no embarassment.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
Has anyone but me noticed the eerie resemblance between Biden, and the dummy Walter, from Jeff Dunham’s act? They could easily be twins, except for Walter’s superior intellect and human- like persona.
At least Walter says intelligible things, while Unca Joe is just everyone’s drunken, pedophilic uncle.
I love how the MSM gave Biden a pass in 2008 yet destroyed Palin to the best of their abilities.
Unreal.
It would be interesting to see how many cities were able to maintain the level of police officers that the Clinton 100,000 cops on the street bill funded. The COPS program is still in effect and looking for more funding. Like every Federal program they never go away. They expand in bureaucracy perpetuating the fat salaries of the bureaucratic that run them.
It’s a federal program that funds it for a very short time, to get votes for the incumbent, then the burden of funding falls on the local governments and guess what the results are.
If the leftist hacks (who try to pass for journalists) would not even examine the radical associations of 0bama, then why would anyone expect those “in-the-tank” liberal hacks to examine Biden?
Seriously, journalism is dead — It was killed by the leftist propaganda whores for 0bama. Anyone who claims otherwise is just like Biden (incomprehensibly stupid)
🙄
Obama and his handlers looked around and picked the dumbest, most incompetent running mate, whom he all but ignored since picking him.
Narcissism, particularly residing inside a not so bright head, cannot have a ‘side-kick’ with any brain cells that function at room temperature. The Narcissist in Chief must be the smartest brain in the room.
And still, even after 3 years of obvious stupidities, this dynamic duo finds a broad base of support.
And to think, the left said Sarah Palin wasn’t qualified to be Veep…
Behold the genius of Joe Biden. I have it on his own authority that he’s much smarter than you, so you best not argue with his facts or his conclusions. It simply doesn’t matter that he’s wrong all the time. What matters is he cares so very much. Enough so to reach out to fourth graders, and anybody else who will listen that if we don’t pass Obama’s slush fund/jobs bill our wives and our daughters will be raped, and we’ll most likely be murdered. So for God sake, pass this bill you heartless bastards!!!
Contrast what was done to Quayle versus how Joe has been treated…protected by the media. I know a lot of them think the liberal POV is 100% fact/truth, but there is no way they aren’t aware of what they are doing.
@Hard Right: They know what they are doing, HR. They just feel that since theirs is the correct philosophy, they are justified in what they do.
@anticsrocks:
Exactly. If they have to lie, their “holy cause” justifies it. Journalism is dead and the left killed it.
Liberals and their Pathetic Arguments and ideology are bringing this country down in too many ways to count…. Playing on peoples ‘fears’ to pass a “pay-off” bill…
The absurdity of Mr (Liberal Drama King) Biden regarding Rape…does Mr Liar know that more women are raped by their husbands, lovers, boyfriends, former boyfriends than a “stranger” ?? And that approximately 1 in 100 rapes gets reported? And… there isn’t usually “any time” for a ‘victim’ to dial 911 in the midst of either violation (including murder)… the perpetrators don’t usually hold up signs telling everyone what they are about to do, many are clever in the short term but, eventually (hopefully) they get caught… and Robberies usually theoretically occur more just before and during the holidays…. police, whether you have 100 or 300 cannot be everywhere all the time… that’s just common sense….
Years ago I worked with a woman who’s daughter was Murdered, her daughter was on her lunch hour and at a nearby mini-mall, the perp forcefully kidnapped her then later bludgeoned her to death, and this was at a time when we had “no issues” with the ‘amount of police’ out there patrolling…thankfully he was caught… he also had a record of violence, robbery and assault in several other states…
Black on Black crime in this country is unprecedented?
Side Note: Although there are tons of “funded” programs, tons of Information on the issue, and Tons of Volunteers committed to helping, does Biden know that on a Monthly Average the combined total of 300 Women, Men, Children of all cultural, ethnic and ages are Murdered because of Domestic violence across the US? That is an average of 3600 people a year… Would more cops on the beat have deterred these murders? Not in the least…
Biden provides a useful idiot purpose for the 0-bama administration. Think about how hard it is to find someone that says more stupid things than 0-bama. A brilliant Democrat strategy and the MSM is more than willing to play along. Can’t wait until next November so we can put adults back in the Whitehouse.
Six terms in the Senate.
Please name for me one issue on which he has been correct.
He is invariably on the wrong side of everything.
He can’t count. He can’t speak. He can’t read. He can’t reason.
I do not understand what the “citizens” of Delaware were thinking when they elected this doofus.
He is, in the words of one of my colleagues, a waste of sperm and egg.
And he sure is impeachment insurance!
Biden is so wrong on so many levels that it would entail terabytes just to explain what an idiot he is.
Just one example for this post- the police, God Bless them, are a REACTIVE force in 9/10ths of all crime, so they cannot, in most cases, do anything to help until the actual crime has been committed!
BIDEN has the first scoop , he know first class of the rapist, where they are,
he got them close to hear their story,those are the company they allign with,
it seems that he like the subject, of bullies, rapist and bring it on his speeches,
everytime he has a chance,
a bunch of Weerdoo in the DEMOCRAT PARTY, THEIR CONVERSATION ARE INCLUDING
THE WORDS , LIKE THEY CAN GO TO HELL, OR THEY ARE TERRORIST OR THEY WANT TO SEE THE BLACK HANGED FROM THE TREE, OR DO WHAT I SAY OR YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN,
OR RAISE THE DEBT CEILING NOW OR THE MILITARY WON’T GET PAY NEITHER THE WELFARE RECIPIENT, OR CREATING THE DEATH PANNEL, OR PASS THE BILL OR YOUR DAUGHTER GET RAPE,
IN ORDER TO SAY IT HE HAS THE SOURCE IS IN IT?
THEY ARE DANGEROUS UP THE LADDER IN THE WHITE HOUSE
@Blake:
Excellent point, Blake.
Rape numbers have nothing to do with the numbers of police.
We had a local man raping women (of all ages) by coming in through open (unlocked) doors and windows.
He must have done it over 20 times before he was caught.
And how was he caught?
Not by police.
He was in jail on an unrelated traffic charge and his DNA was taken.
His DNA matching DNA from some of the rapes was what caught him.
Ironically there was a time when rape-kit DNA sat untested on shelves for years because counties would rather spend the money on new police hires than on scientists.
Biden said:
And just what are the statistics where a woman, while being raped, calls 911 and the cops arrive in time to not only catch the rapist, but prevent the rape as well?

hi,
BIDEN SAY PASS THE BILL OR YOUR DAUGHTER WILL BE RAPE,
that is a scare tactic if there is , it is the worse among the other,
and did he ever talk about what is written on the bill?
did he ever read out loud all the words of that bill to the people,
that sound crooked don’t it?
