I can't believe I am doing this, but I am actually going to defend Joe Biden.
This false narrative by ANYONE pushing this story is a desperate attempt to criticize Biden and try to make it seem he is crazier / more cognitively impaired than he really is.
After hearing this for the 3rd time on the radio today by 3 seperate conservative talking heads, Joe Biden's favorite phrase came out of my mouth:
'
COME ON, MAN!'
The media doesn't give us credit for bring smart sometimes, but I know I am not the only one out here who knows the following:
Biden is as old as dirt, and the phrase he used is almost, if not older, than he is.
The word '
Lick', in the context of '
to lick someone', means '
TO DEFEAT' someone / a team / an adversary.
- It was also a term associated with spanking, as in with a belt or, yes, even a razor strap:
'
How many licks did you get from your paw?'

This natrative from the media, to embarrass Joe Biden and make it seem like he is even more cognitively impaired and / or perverted than the hair sniffing Biden already is, really
IRKED me.
What a pathetic, ignorant, unnecessary attempt.
There is already an endless number of factual, real
goofs, mis-speaks, gaffes, 'brain farts', and perv (not to mention criminal, treasonous, compromised) moments to choose from without being caught desperately attempting to falsely CREATE another.
As we have seen during the last 7 years, the patisan media loves poliltical gaffes and even try to actively manufacture them when there are slow news days or when they just want to 'pile on' their political opponents / enemies. They ALL do it.
Consetvatives just got caught 'reaching' on this one.
