Biden Admits Plagiarism in School But Says It Was Not 'Malevolent' - New York Times

Palin probably burped on her mothers dress during the same time period while Obama threw a tantrum. Meanwhile, 43 years later people are searching for relevant issues about candidates. Biden made mistakes is his long life, just like any other human being. This has no bearing on his current role as a potential VP. Although kudos for citing a newspaper published before I was born.

"Published: September 18, 1987" and the guy was 44 at the time... Uh, grade school was a lot of fun for me back then.

Relevancy factor to the current election: 0%.

Ah, but how many liberals were running around like chickens with their heads cut off while jumping up and down screaming when it was discovered that Palin's husband had a DUI when he was 22? This story is just as relevant as that one was, which is not relevant at all. But you can't dismiss one and give the other one a pass, unless of course your partisanship rates higher than actually being honest.

Another oldie but a goodie:

YouTube - 1988 Road to the White House with Sen. Biden

1) "I went to school on a full academic scholarship" - False
2) "I eventually finished in the top half of my class" - False
3) "I graduated with 3 degrees" - False

Hilarious.

I didn't see anyone jumping up and down screaming about Palin's husband's DUI. Laughing maybe--but upset? Give me a break. Name one person.

There'd been so much news about Palin that I forgot about Biden.

And when McCain was five he lied to his mommy. What's your point?

Actually, plagiarizing something in college is a clue to someone's character. Clearly, Biden wanted to get through school the easy way, and take shortcuts which were clearly unethical.
