In this video clip at Hot Air, Biden somewhat humorously claims he left Scranton because:
Bob Casey was twelve years older than me, and Bobby Casey was twelve years younger than me. And I knew somebody famous was going to come out of Scranton, and I sure a’ hell knew it wadn’t gonna be me.
Not quite: Bob Casey, Jr wasn't born until 1960. Also, Biden is 18 years older than Casey, Jr. having been born in 1942. Maybe Obama should have selected a woman as VP to avoid someone who evidently feels compelled to lie about their age?
Until 1952, Biden lived with his parents and grandparents in a two-story Colonial on a tree-lined street in Green Ridge, an Irish-Catholic enclave and one of Scranton's nicest neighborhoods. Biden slept in an attic bedroom with sloped ceilings and a view of West Mountain, scrawling "Joe Biden was here" and "Kilroy was here" on the walls.


Plagiarizers are known to lie.

Biden is starting sound like Steve Martin in "The Jerk" ---next hell be saying --- "I was born a poor black boy"...Unlike Obama who was born a RICH WHITE BOY aka Barry and turned black to be a poltician...

I think y'all are taking this too seriously. I think he was joking.

Somewhere Robert Reich is saying..."That would be me."

This is what you're blogging about...desperate but not serious.
