Apparently, Biden is having another one of his "creative" memories:

WASHINGTON - When Joe Biden tells voters he understands the threat posed by Afghan extremists, he dramatically illustrates one reason why: His helicopter was "forced down" on "the superhighway of terror." Actually, snow, not the enemy, persuaded the helicopter pilot to land and wait out a storm...

Biden has made a number of questionable statements recently that, viewed in isolation, might not amount to much. But this is a man whose first presidential campaign collapsed 20 years ago after he told a story about coal miners in his family that he lifted without credit from a British politician.

In a recent speech in Virginia coal country, Biden seemed to embellish his background once again. He declared, "I am a hard coal miner," which he's not and never has been. His spokesman, David Wade, said Biden was joking.

I have no idea why Sir O8ama would select this loser as his VP. Had McCindy actually selected someone with a brain this horse race would be over.

Biden sucks. I almost wonder if Obama went and chose him because he saw who McCain picked and said "well, hell, I can't do any worse."

Obama's pick of Biden actually came out before McCain's, remember?

The ONLY reason he picked him is because of his terrible knowledge of foreign policy, only to find out Biden is not better, he does not even know the difference between Sunni and Shia.

He made the wrong move and I think he knows it.

There is a website keeping track of his gaffes and lies and the meter is ticking along.

A lie or gaffe a day for Biden.

This is twice he has lied about his helicopter either being forced down or being shot at.

I think he is having some health issues with his brain not working correctly, his has become very delusional and easily upset.

You're right. My bad.

My assessment of Biden stands.

The silver lining is that if he's VP, he's not in the Senate anymore, and he'd probably be less of a liability that way.

Biden was right on two points, obama isn't fit to be president and he would rather be running WITH McCain.
