Sinatra said:He benefited from growing Nixon fatigue and a very long-in-the-tooth Republican candidate (and some strong union support) when Biden initially won his Senate seat in the early 70's. When his wife and child were killed in the auto accident, his handlers spun the situation well and gained significant political points for Biden - a situation that continues to this day. (I am not diminishing the tragedy - but Biden himself has utilized the aftermath of those deaths repeatedly in every subsequent political campaign...)
He has since ran for president a number of times and it was at that time the national press corp discovered just how poorly Biden did as a student - and just how willing Biden was to ramble on about his favorite subject - Joe Biden. Biden's grades both in high school and in college were consistently below average. His time in college appears to have only been sustained due to it keeping him out of Vietnam. By the late 1980s he had become something of a joke among reporters and even his own Democrat colleagues.
His selection as VP by Obama remains a mystery, as does the even greater mystery of his ever-growing hairline...
Biden ran for president twice, not "a number of times." Ironically, he happens to be, gasp, one of those citizen politicians all you righties clamour is what Washington needs. All the time he has been in the Senate, he has commuted from Washington ON A DAILY BASIS to his home in Delaware where his family, including his mother-in-law, live.
If you people weren't so fucking obsessed with demonizing everything the Democrats do these days, you would know that Biden's credentials are actually superior to Obama's as far as experience. It's just too damned bad that you choose to cherry-pick everything when presenting your opinions as if minor negatives should outweigh successes (not just of Biden, but everything you touch) and be the determining factor of someone's career and persona.
And nobody but you losers give a sweet shit about his HAIR. One can only imagine how some of YOU really look in person when you're so quick with criticisms about someone else's. If you had just shut up about Biden's HAIR, then I wouldn't have conjured up this image of YOU (if you get my gist):
